This book is intended as a reference book, providing extensive information on the applications of coal petrology and the importance of that discipline for characterization of coals in terms of composition and rank, for the assessment of coal quality, and for the prediction of coal properties and behavior during utilization. The book is especially recommended for coal producers, coal marketers, and others associated with the coal industry, as well as for coal researchers and teachers. It provides extensive background information not only on different coal characteristics and properties but also on the way those characteristics determine technological properties.

Coalbed gas has been considered a hazard since the early 19th century when the first mine gas explosions occurred in the United States in 1810 and France in 1845. In eastern Australia methane-related mine disasters occurred late in the 19th century with hundreds of lives lost in New South Wales, and as recently as 1995 in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

THREE A S TM STANDARDS are available for sampling coal: ASTM Practice for Collection of Channel Samples of Coal in the Mine (D 4596), ASTM Test Methods for Collection of a Gross Sample of Coal (D 2234), and ASTM Practice for Collection of Coal Samples from Core (D 5192). The first two standards are applicable only to existing mining operations, test pits, or transportation of coal.

В книге изложены процессы дробления и грохочения углей на сортировках, углеобогатительных и брикетных фабриках. Рассмотрены элементы теории по дроблению и грохочению, конструкции современных дробилок, грохотов, магнитных сепараторов и питателей с указанием их технической характеристики, области применения и способов регулирования.

В современных приоритетных направлениях развития подземной горнодобывающей промышленности одной из важнейших задач является обеспечение безопасной подработки породного массива и земной поверхности. В этой связи новые познания геомеханических процессов, протекающих в многофакторной подземной геотехнической системе по мере развития горных работ, является актуальной научной задачей.
