The composition and properties of coals from the Katarbeisk deposit

The composition and properties of the organic and mineral matter of the coals of the new Katarbeisk deposit of the Irkutsk Basin were investigated. The temperature parameters of thermal decomposition of the coals and the yield of the produce of low-temperature carbonization in a Fischer retort are considered. The content of «minor» elements, including toxic ones, is determined, and the coals are classified
