Materials for the petrographic characteristics of coal seams of the Aralichevskoe deposit of the Kuznetsk basin
Abstract
Over the past years since the beginning of the industrial development of the Kuznetsk Basin, petrographic studies have covered coals from almost all known deposits within the boundaries of the basin. The results of coal petrographic studies, which contributed to exploration and identification of the quality of coals in the basin, have been published in a number of works. However, most of these works concern those deposits whose coals are of interest as metallurgical fuel and as chemical raw materials. Significantly less attention has been paid to coal petrographic studies of power-generating coal deposits, which include Aralichevskoe. In particular, in works on the study of coals from the Aralichevskoe deposit, their petrographic properties are usually mentioned in passing. In essence, there are no complete coal petrographic studies of this industrially important deposit with unique coal quality. The information presented in this article cannot be considered exhaustive, but to a certain extent it still fills the existing gap in the coverage of the petrographic properties of coals and the structure of coal seams Aralichevskoe deposit. The article is written based on the materials of petrographic testing of coal seams and office processing of samples, carried out by the author in the pre-war years in connection with the dissertation work on the comparison of coal seams of the Prokopyevskoe and Aralichevskoe deposits based on coal petrographic features.
