| Popis: | Minerals in coal are of great significance in determining coal properties, washing, combustion, gasification, and liquefaction. The content of alkali metals in coal is an important factor determining corrosion and/or erosion in combustion boilers. Eleven coal samples were taken from the No. 6 coal seam of the Fukang mining area, Zhunnan coalfield, Xinjiang province, China. X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, low-temperature ashing-X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalyzer were used for analyzing the minerals, major elements, and trace elements of the coal. The results indicated that the minerals mainly consist of dawsonite, dolomite, albite, calcite, kaolinite, quartz. The average content of Na 2 O in the ash of the No. 6 coal seam samples was 10.91%. Na mainly occurs in the form of organic compounds in the No. 6 coal seam, then in the form of inorganic minerals, such as dawsonite and albite. Na in surface and underlying strata was brought into the coal by water and combined with organic matter, resulting in relatively high Na contents in the upper and bottom parts of the coal seam and relatively low Na contents in the middle part. |
