Classification of solid combustible fossils and methods of their research. Monograph. Samoilik V.G.

Information about the origin of solid combustible fossils (TGI). The characteristic of the original plant material is given, the conditions for its accumulation and transformation in the process of carbon formation are described. The general characteristics of peat, brown and stone coal, anthracites are given. A large place is devoted to the technological parameters, composition, and the physicochemical properties of various types of solid combustible fossils and methods of their research. Information is given on the classification of peat, coal, anthracites and combustible shales. Data on international coal codification systems are also given.

for scientific and engineering and technical employees of the mining industry, as well as mining profile students.
