Okay kiddo, so you know how we have different kinds of coal that we use for different things, like heating our homes or making electricity? Metallurgical coal is a special kind of coal that is used to make something else called steel.
Steel is a material that we use to make lots of things, like cars, buildings, and bridges. And the process of making steel requires something called metallurgical coal.
Metallurgical coal is different from the coal we use for heating because it has special properties that make it really good for making steel. When we use metallurgical coal to make steel, we put it into a furnace with iron ore, and then we use a super hot flame to heat everything up.
When the metallurgical coal burns, it creates a chemical reaction that helps to remove the impurities from the iron ore, making it stronger and more durable. So, in a way, metallurgical coal helps to make steel stronger and better!
