The combustion characteristics of Chikila coal (CHK) from Nigeria have been examined. It was established that CHK has a high carbon and fixed carbon content, but low nitrogen, sulphur, and ash content. Based on coal heating value, it was classified as a high volatile B bituminous coal. The temperature profile characteristics were examined through thermogravimetric analysis. The combustion kinetics of CHK were examined based on the Kissinger model. It is shown that CHK is a potentially good feedstock for future energy recovery and industrial utilization.
