Thermo-chemical conversion of coal samples under high temperature
Exhaustion of profitable coal resources makes for need of innovation including underground coal gasification ( UCG) . One of the most important problems of UCG is evaluation of the combustion area in underground coal seams. Physicochemical parameters of coal,in a whole,and coal mineral substance are changed under heating and combusting. Thermo-chemical conversion of coal mineral components has an effect on magnetic characteristics of coal seam and can be used for real-time control of combusting area. To this guessing check laboratory experiments have been made as an activity of the Far Eastern Federal University. Our investigation based on a theoretical analysis and laboratory simulation tests. Typical results of the laboratory experiments are presented below. Under heating coal thermo-chemical magnetization is forming. Coal's magnetic parameters varieties from anti-ferromagnetiс to ferromagnetic. Anti-ferromagnetic pyrite and siderite presented into coal mass is transformed into magnetic hematite and magnetite under heating. Therefore,geomagnetic is expected to be a useful geophysical tool to for evaluation of combustion volume and its migration for underground coal gasification.
