Abstract:Xinjiang is rich in coal resources,and their mainly coal-bearing strata are Badaowan and Xishanyao Formation of Early-Middle Jurassic.To be controlled by geological structure,coal accumulation occurred mainly in the interior of the structural basins.Coal-bearing structures are often syncline and monoclinic instructural basins.Tectonic deformation of main coal-bearing basins is weak,and has a favorable mining conditions.There are mainly low-rank bituminous coals,followed in middle and high-bituminous coal.The coal type are mainly in the long flame coal,non-caking coal,weakly caking coal and so on.Lithotypes are mainly durain and fusain,followed by a bright coal.Macroscopic type mainly consist of dull coal,semi-dull coal and semi-bright coal.Xinjiang posses good quality coal resources with high calorific value,low moisture content,low ash production rate,high volatile matter yield,low total sulfur content,phosphorus content and so on.
