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.
