Occurrence characteristics and utilization potential of scarce coking coal resources in Huaibei coalfield by Run ZHAN, Wenyong ZHANG, Feng HAN, Fengtang SUI, Jiayi GU, Guijian LIU, Tian ZHAO

“…The Huaibei Coalfield in Anhui Province, as one of the first key mining areas of scarce coking coal set up by the state, has rich resources and excellent coal quality, and is the most promising coking coal resource source in East China.In order to systematically understand the occurrence characteristics and exploitation and utilization potential of scarce coking coal in the study area, this paper reveals the spatio-temporal difference characteristics, formation control factors and resource potential of scarce coking coal in the study area through coal rock analysis, industrial coal quality index test, comprehensive mapping and resource evaluation, using previous drilling data and underground supplementary sampling tests.The results show that the scarce coking coal in Huaibei coalfield is well developed, and the floating coal after washing shows the characteristics of ultra−low water, ultra−low ash, ultra−low sulfur, ultra−low fixed carbon, medium and high volatile, and has the process properties of medium−strong bonding and coking, low potassium and sodium content, and good mechanical strength and thermal strength.The scarce coking coal is controlled by the regional structure and the sedimentary distribution of coal seams, and the coal seams of Xiashihezi Formation 7 and 8 are the most developed. …”
