Significant enrichment of Ga, Rb, Cs, REEs and Y in the Jurassic No. 6 coal in the Iqe Coalfield, northern Qaidam Basin, China—A hidden gem
文摘
The Iqe coals are medium volatile bituminous coals, with medium-ash and low-sulfur. The coals are generally dominated by the macerals from Vitrinite group. The main minerals in the studied coal are illite and siderite. The concentrations of Rb, Cs, Ga, Ba, REY, and Cr are elevated.
