Keywords: coal seam, vitrinite, liptinite, inertinite, petrographic composition

Abstract

Taking into consideration the whole history of geological development of the Western Donbas, data on composition and grade of С12 series coal involved information about the geotectonic development of the Basin. To satisfy the objectives, a system of research methods, covering petrographic, computational, statistical, chronological, comparative and other methods, has been applied. In the process of identification of the petrographic composition and grade of series С12coal on the territory of the Prydniprovia Block, and determination of lateral regularities of their change as well as change in stratigraphic section of the Lower Carboniferous, data of petrographic as well as chemical and technological indices of the coal seam c1 were generalized along with data of all seams of С13 series. The activities helped define genetic features of series С12coal as well as stratigraphic and lateral regularities of changes in the coal composition. The differences in the petrographic composition as well as in the chemical and technological characteristics of series С12 and С13 are indicative of dissimilar conditions of formation of their peat depositions. It has been determined that compared with С13 series coal, the coal of С12 series contains more humidity and fewer mineral impurities. It is characterized by higher values of sulfur content, volatile-matter content, and combustion heat. The ultimate composition of coal seams of С12series is characterized by smaller values of carbon and oxygen contents as well as greater hydrogen content. The conclusions on common features and differences in the petrographic composition as well as chemical and technological features of coal seams of С12and С13 series, and regularities of their changes over the area of the seam occurrence was assessed.
