METALLIFEROUS COALS OF SHUBARKOL DEPOSIT (CENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN)

The relevance of the research is caused by the possibility of using coal not only as energy fuel, but also as a source of valuable elements-impurities (Ge, Re, Ga, Nb, Zr, Hf, Y, Au, REE, etc.).

description The relevance of the research is caused by the possibility of using coal not only as energy fuel, but also as a source of valuable elements-impurities (Ge, Re, Ga, Nb, Zr, Hf, Y, Au, REE, etc.). This is especially true of toxic impurities, since a significant amount of them are accumulated in ash and slag waste, and a number of elements are carried out with gas phase or ash-entrainment into the atmosphere, which affects environmental pollution. The main aim of the research is to assess the content of elements-impurities and the forms of their presence in coals and ashes of the Shubarkol coal deposit. The objects of the study are coals and carbon-bearing rocks of the Shubarkol deposit (Central Kazakhstan). Methods: carbon spectrographic studies; IR spectrometric and pyrolytic; instrumental neutron activation analysis; mass spectrometric method with inductively coupled plasma; scanning electron microscopy with x-ray spectral analysis. Results. The authors have revealed the enrichment of coals from the Shubarkol deposit with REE, Sc, Co, Cs, Zr, Ag and Ba. Coal seam 2B3 (Ad – 4,8 %) is characterized by the highest contents in the section of Be, Sc, Co, Zr, Mo, W, Ag, Sb and U with increased contents of V, Cs and Hg in comparison with Сlark for coal. Individual coal seams (2В3 and 2В1), abnormally enriched with a group of elements and their coal ash can be considered as a rare-metal complex mineralization. In coal ash of 2B3 seam the content of a group of metals: Be (79.4 g/t), Sc (135 g/t), V (771 g/t), Co (493 g/t), Y (201 g/t), Zr (3328 g/t), Mo (130 g/t), Ag (5.4 g/t), Hf (63.5 g/t), and the sum of REE+Y (679 g/t) is higher than the minimum industrial values. Mineral forms of rare earth elements (zircon, baddeleyite, and monazite) were identified.
