Abstract

The paper investigated petrographic characteristics of seam commercial samples of gas coal collected in various Kuznetsk Basin mines. Reflectogram analysis identified petrographic peculiarities that determined coal cokeability during high-temperature coking. According to the results of the additional assessment made for coal physicochemical properties, significant gas coal reserves might be used as valuable raw materials for the coke-chemical industry.
