Creation of natural typing of sections of different thickness of the C8H coal seam of the «Dniprovska» mine (Ukraine) according to the germanium content

Abstract

The method of creating an objective (natural) typification of sections of the coal seam of the Dniprovska mine of different capacities according to germanium concentrations has been established and substantiated. The constructed dendrograms of clustering of coal seam areas by Ge content can be used as a basis for developing a natural typification of coal seams for geological and economic evaluation. This will make it possible to make maximum use of already available information and interpret the obtained results in geological and genetic concepts, which provides the possibility of its use for the complex use of mineral raw materials, solving strategic issues of sustainable development of Ukraine.
