Distributions of Trace Elements and Their Relationships With Heavy Minerals in Some Chinese Low‐Rank Coals by Peng Jin, Chong Tian, Yuxuan Huang, Bengen Gong, Xiaochuan Wang

“…ABSTRACT To better understand the properties of low rank coals, especially the correlation information between the trace elements (TEs) and minerals, four typical low‐rank coals in China, namely Xiaolongtan (XLT), Shenbei (SB), Huolinhe (HLH), and Shengli (SL) were quantitatively studied for their mineralogical characteristics and TEs distributions, to provide a basis for proposing methods to remove impurities from low‐rank coal and reduce environmental pollution. Results show that light mineral fractions (LMFs, ρ < 2.89 g/cm3) are more than 90% (wt.%) in the four low‐rank coals with clay minerals dominating in composition. …”
