Rank of Panandhro lignite, the second largest lignite deposit in India, has been determined by reflectance measurement on maceral huminite (ulminite). The mean reflectance (Ro max.) ranges from 0.37 to 0.42% (average 0.40%) and indicates that the lignite has attained Sub-bituminous C-B Stage (ASTM). Rank characterization of lignite suggests its utility for upgrading purposes.
