Various potential uses of coal from Apsatsky coalfield

Abstract

Additional geological exploration and studies of balance reserves of Apsatsky hard coal deposit have shown that these belong to valuable coking coal grades - “Zh”, “KZh” “K”, “KO”, and “OC”. Only a small proportion of coals located near the surface at the depth of up to 20 metres is partly oxidised and belongs to the “CC” grade of steaming coal. The coal ash has low slagging properties and medium ability to pollute convective heating surfaces. In terms of fusibility, the ash belongs to medium-melting: 1200°C
