Underground Coal Gasification Field Tests In China: History And Prospects, Qin Yong, Yi Tongsheng, Yang Lei, Zhou Yongfeng, Wang Jun, Wang Lingxia
Underground Coal Gasification Field Tests In China: History And Prospects, Qin Yong, Yi Tongsheng, Yang Lei, Zhou Yongfeng, Wang Jun, Wang Lingxia
Coal Geology & Exploration
To achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality in China, a low-carbon and efficient coal energy structure is essential for the sustainable energy development of China. Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an important strategy for transforming the coal energy structure in China. Based on the review of previous literature, this study analyzes the exploration history of the UCG field tests in China and delivers the prospects of UCG industrialization in China. The analytical results show that the development and field tests of UCG technologies in China have experienced five stages, namely the initial attempt, silence/recovery, extensive explorations, making technological …
Distribution Characteristics And Paleo-Climatic Significance Of Continental Climate-Sensitive Sediments In The Late Cretaceous In China, Bin Xu, Fang Xiang, Shuxia Li
Distribution Characteristics And Paleo-Climatic Significance Of Continental Climate-Sensitive Sediments In The Late Cretaceous In China, Bin Xu, Fang Xiang, Shuxia Li
Coal Geology & Exploration
The Cretaceous is a typical period for studying the greenhouse climate and the earth system interactions, and the world's most extensive terrestrial strata are mainly in East Asia, especially in China. Continental sediments can effectively reflect the paleo-climate change, but the previous studies of the Late Cretaceous paleo-climate, based on the combined characteristics of continental climate-sensitive sediments, were barely found in China. To obtain the Late Cretaceous paleo-climate characteristics of China, the distribution characteristics of different continental climate-sensitive sediment types in the early, middle and Late Cretaceous in China were studied in detail. According to the distribution and combination characteristics …
Advances On Geological-Geochemical Research Of Coal-Type Uranium In China, Zhou Xianqing, Qin Yong, Lu Lu
Advances On Geological-Geochemical Research Of Coal-Type Uranium In China, Zhou Xianqing, Qin Yong, Lu Lu
Coal Geology & Exploration
There is a huge gap in uranium resources in China. Only developing traditional uranium resources is unable to meet the increasing demand in energy and national defense construction. The exploitation and utilization of coal-type uranium resources can relieve the pressure of demand for uranium resources to a certain extent. By summarizing the research results of coal-type uranium in recent years, the ore location, uranium content range, formation time and distribution range of coal-bearing strata of major coal-type uranium deposits in China, and the definition criteria of coal-type uranium are given, which provides a basis for the classification of coal-type uranium …

Geopolitics Of Rare Earth Elements, Bert Chapman
Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations
Rare earth elements (REE) contain unique chemical physical properties such as lanthamum, are found in small concentrations, need extensive precise properties to separate, and are critical components of modern technologies such as laser guidance systems, personal electronics such as IPhones, satellites, and military weapons systems as varied as Virginia-class fast attack submarines, DDG-51 Aegis destroyers, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and precision guided munitions. The U.S. has some rare earth resources, but is heavily dependent on access to them from countries as varied as Afghanistan, Bolivia, and China. Losing access to these resources would have significant adverse economic, military, and …
