Proximate analysis-based prediction of gross calorific value of Indian coals using a Geochemical Feature Embedding Network (GFEN) and XGBoost regressor

Gross Calorific Value (GCV) is a key indicator of coal quality and a major determinant of coal grading and pricing. Measurement of GCV through bomb calorimetry is accurate but requires dedicated instrumentation and careful sample preparation. This study demonstrates that GCV of I...
