TOPIC: Ground Coal Loading Only Covered Hoppers

Ground Coal Loading Only Covered Hoppers 10 years 5 months ago #2281

A couple days ago Joanna Bill noted: "As I recall, ground coal is used in filtration systems." That is quite correct. It was amazing to see the black filter medium in St. Louis (MO) County Water Company's filter beds as a young fellow maybe 50 years ago. It was more interesting to find that it was anthracite. In this case, the main useful property was simply hardness; Anthracite does not have the micro-cellular structure to be an effective absorbent.
