ABSTRACT

Nowadays coal is exploited largely as energy fuel and technological raw materials for various productions. Coal as a natural nanosystem is becoming an object of the fundamental research. A number of the problems related to a task of coal origin still remains a riddle, and existing theories, versions, hypotheses are not convincing and, as a rule, are sated by paradoxes. Mechanisms, which form a variety of physical and chemical properties of coal, are also contradictory in the same way as the reasons of properties variation within a coal layer. Decision of these tasks is extremely important, especially for development of new technologies of controllable coal processing and making the most use of its power and chemical potential.
