Analysis and Utilization Direction on Associated Resources of Lignite in China

In order to provide the references to the development and tilization of the lignite and the associated resources in China, according to the features of the lignite associated resources, the paper analyzed and summarized the distribution law and features of the montan wax, humic acid and coal bed methane in the lignite a ssociated resources of China.The paper preliminarily estimated the resources value of the montan wax, humic acid and coal bed methane in the major distribution area of lignite in China.The paper had a discussion on the uiliation orientation of the lignite associated resources.The results showed that the associated resources in lignit e were rich and the montan wax resource value in the major distribution areas of lignite in China was about 13.76x 108 t, the resource value of the humic acid was abou t 674.26x108 t and the resource value of the coal bed methane was about 13 954.65x108 m3.
