| Özet |
| Recent findings suggest that Turkey contains about 15 billion tons of coal within its borders. A small proportion of it (NW part) is bituminous, but the rest is sub-bituminous and lignite coal. About 80% of the coals are utilized in power generation. The newly found coal field, Alpu Basin, contains about 1.3 billion tons of coal. The coal basin is a fault controlled and deeply buried basin which is close to the industrial areas in Turkey.In the studied area, there are two coal horizons in the Middle Miocene aged m2 unit. The average mineable coal seam thickness is approximately 13–14 m. In order to determine the coalification degree, petrographic composition and depositional environment of the coals, petrographic and XRD analyses were conducted on coal samples taken from three boreholes which were drilled by MTA in the Eskişehir–Alpu Basin. According to the ASTM classification, the rank of the coals is sub … |
