| Abstract | There are growing concerns regarding human and environmental health from the release of Hg and Cl during coal combustion. These two elements are potentially hazardous trace elements and so their emissions from coal combustion must be reduced to protect public health. However, information about Hg and Cl is usually lacking to both policy makers and coal users in many countries using coal for energy. The objective of this study was to understand the concentration, modes of occurrence, and the origin of Hg and Cl in the Balingian coal. Mercury content in the Balingian coal ranges from <1 to 22 ppb with an arithmetic mean of 8 ppb, while Cl content varies from 100 to 209 ppm with an arithmetic mean of 139 ppm. The Balingian coal is highly depleted in Hg but it is enriched in Cl, with respect to the Clarke values of these elements. Mercury is mostly organically bounded in the studied section at sampling sites B01 and B03; however, it is mostly inorganically bounded in the studied section at sampling site B02. While Hg in the studied section at sampling sites B01 and B02 has been epigenetically emplaced from overlying rocks by descending groundwater carrying Hg in solution, it has been emplaced syn-genetically in the studied section at sampling site B03. Chlorine is mostly inorganically bounded in the studied section at sampling sites B01 and B02; however, it is mostly organically bounded in the studied section at sampling site B03. Chlorine is mostly syngenetic in origin in all the three studied sections; however, Cl at the lower part of the studied section at sampling site B01 has been emplaced by epigenetic source. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
