Based on the analysis of coalfield geological characteristics, forming conditions and distribution law in such coal aggregation areas as Jiaozuo, Pingdingshan and Yima in West Henan, this paper studies macroscopic lithotypes of coal, microcal rock components and features of thermal evolution focusing on air content and influential factors, especially features of thermal evolution and influence of fault development on coal bed methane content. Main physical and chemical properties for coal bed methane, including gas saturation, desorption rate, crustal stress and critical pressure received special attention, including a contrast with main coal bed methane aggregation area in North China. After calculation, coal bed methane content in main blocks exceeds 12000×108m3, and thus Pingdingshan and Jiaozuo are ideal mining areas for coal bed methane in the future. Foundation items: Xinjiang science and technology projects of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region(201491105) “coal bed methane causing low coal rank enrichment regularity, fracturing technology, upper and lower joint exploration well comprehensive application technology development and demonstration”, key points of scientific research in colleges and universities in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (20130523135425562) of project funding of “Fukang City of Xinjiang coal bed methane efficient mining technology research”. 1. Introduction Being unconventional natural gas, coal bed methane is generated from coal bed and mainly accumulated in coal bed in an absorbed state. With methane as the main component, coal mine becomes mashgas. On one hand, it is listed among one of calamities for coal mine safety production and excessive emission will cause climate warming; on the other hand, it is an efficient and clean energy. Exploiting coal bed methane will help make full use of the clean energy, improve conditions for coal mine safety production and protect atmospheric environment human beings depending on, killing three birds with one stone. Favorable block for coal bed methane development is a key groundwork, since its research results directly determine success or failure. Increase in coal bed methane exploration practices prove coal reservoir in China which is featured by low permeability, low pressure, low saturation, strong heterogeneity and high coal rank, resulting from common and strong stimulation in late period, with active deep process and strong activity as the root. Medium-high metamorphic coal among coal resources in China is mainly distributed in North China coal-accumulation area Carboniferous—Permian and Southern China coal-accumulation area Permian coal-bearing strata. Coal-bearing basin in these periods belongs to reformed basin, and thus it is difficult to choose favorable block for coal bed methane development and to conduct the related research urgently. 2. West Henan Coal Bed Methane Geological and Geochemical Characteristics 2.1 Geological and geochemical characteristics for coal bed methane in West Henan Covering Hebi, Anyang, Jiaozuo, Zhengzhou, Pingdingshan and Yima west of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, West Henan coal-bearing area is the main coal production base for Henan. Upper Palaeozoic Carboniferous-Permian coal-bearing series has stable sediment, great thickness of coal bed and wide distribution, with coal and coal bed methane reaching one trillion cubic meters, which lays foundation for coal bed methane development and utilization. Currently the focus lies in Pingdingshan in the middle and Jiaozuo in north-central area. However, there are obvious differences in coal bed methane content, coal bed fracture distribution rule and coal texture, as well as coal bed methane adsorption/desorption due to low coal rank for Pingdingshan and high coal rank for Jiaozuo. As a result, different block choosing method will be adopted to offer data on recourses potential truly and objectively. 2.2 Stratum and Sediment West Henan Carboniferous-Permian is mainly coal-bearing clastic deposit against rivers-coastal wetland environment. Composed of gray, grey-green and grey-white sandstone, gray and dark grey mudstone as well as limestone with coal bed in between. With sediment depth of 800-1200m, the stratum is divided into two systems, four series and six formations (refer to chart 1). Coal-bearing formations cover Carboniferous System Upper Series Taiyuan Formation, Permian System Lower Series Shanxi Formation, Xiashihezi Formation and Permian System Upper Series Shangshihezi Formation.

As viewed from the longitudinal changes, the coal beds of Taiyuan and Shanxi Formation have similarities, with bright coal and semibright coal as the mainstay. Seen features of coal macroscopic lithotypes of various Carboniferous-Permian section as a whole, Shanxi Formation Ⅱ1 coal bed enjoys better coal lithotypes, with a simpler structure and being more favorable for coal bed methane generation and aggregation. 2.3.2 Microcal Rock Components After analyzing samples of Carboniferous-Permian main coal mines in West Henan, vitrinite content ranges from 44.6% to 99.67%, 60-80% being on average; fusinite content ranges from 0% to 52.8%, 10-30% being on average; exinite content is smaller than 2.0% on average. There is obvious regularity for vitrinite content changes, being high up and low down, the highest for Taiyuan Formation, and then Shanxi Formation, Xiashihezi Formation and Shangshihezi Formation respectively. 2.4 Features of Thermal Evolution There are gas coal, fat coal, coking coal, lean coal, meager coal and anthracite from low to high for main coal ranks, with regularity for space distribution. Coal rank decreases gradually from north to south for Ⅱ1 coal, Shanxi Formation. Jiaozuo, Yanlong-Xinggong falls into anthracite area, Xin’an, Dengfeng, and Xinmi meager coal area, Shanmian, Yiluo, north Linru and Yuxian lean coal area, west Shanmian, south Linru and middle Pingdingshan coking coal and south Pingdingshan gas coal and fat coal. There is also a regularity for coal rank in a longitudinal direction. It takes a relatively decreasing trend for Taiyuan Formation, Shanxi Formation, Shangshihezi and Xiashihezi Formation from bottom to top. As for a single coal mine, coal rank for Taiyuan Formation is higher than Shanxi Formation, with a difference of less than one coal rank, and higher than Shangshihezi and Xiashihezi Formation with 1-2 coal rank (Fig. 2).

Coal Bed Methane and Influential Factors There are many factors restricting coal bed methane. Factors restricting coal bed methane content in the oilfields such as Jiaozuo, Pingdingshan, Xinggong and Xin’an include evolution of coal metamorphism, effective overlying strata thickness over coal bed, structure conditions, macerals and ash yield after analysis and research. 3.1 Coal Evolution Coal in this area ranges from gas coal to anthracite. The higher coal metamorphism is, the more coal bed methane content there will be. Content of gas coal bed methane is four times of fat coal and coking coal. On one hand, as coal metamorphism is intensified, internal pore surface area gradually increases, leading to a greater adsorption to methane; on the other hand, being mainly tectonic coal, high-rank coal in the area has poor permeability, and thus coal bed methane is not easily desorbed, leading to a greater coal bed methane.

  • 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

  • Dengfeng Observatory, China
    90 ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on Astronomical Heritage Archaeological/historical/heritage research: The Taosi site was first discovered in the 1950s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, archaeologists excavated nine chiefly tombs with rich grave goods, together with large numbers of common burials and dwelling foundations. Archaeologists first discovered the walled towns of the Early and Middle Periods in 1999. The remains of the observatory were first discovered in 2003 and totally uncovered in 2004. Archaeoastronomical surveys were undertaken in 2005. This work has been published in a variety of Chinese journals. Chinese archaeoastronomers and archaeologists are currently conducting further collaborative research at Taosi Observatory, sponsored jointly by the Committee of Natural Science of China and the Academy of Science of China. The project, which is due to finish in 2011, has purchased the right to occupy the main field of the observatory site for two years. Main threats or potential threats to the sites: The most critical potential threat to the observatory site itself is from the burials of native villagers, which are placed randomly. The skyline formed by Taer Hill, which is a crucial part of the visual landscape since it contains the sunrise points, is potentially threatened by mining, which could cause the collapse of parts of the top of the hill. The government of Xiangfen County is currently trying to shut down some of the mines, but it is unclear whether a ban on mining could be policed effectively in the longer term. Management, interpretation and outreach: The county government is trying to purchase the land from the local farmers in order to carry out a conservation project as soon as possible.

Sci. 2013, 23(3): 538-548 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-013-1027-5 © 2013 Science Press Springer-Verlag The study of size-grade of prehistoric settlement in the Circum-Songshan area based on SOFM network LU Peng1,2, TIAN Yan2, *YANG Ruixia3 1. College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China; 2. Institute of Geography, Henan Academy of Sciences, Zhengzhou 450052, China; 3. Center for Earth Observation and Digital Earth, CAS, Beijing 10009, China Abstract: Choosing site area, cultural layer thickness, significant relics and significant re- mains as the variables, we applied cluster analysis to the ancient settlements of four cultural periods, respectively, which were Peiligang, Yangshao, Longshan and Xiashang, in 9000–3000 a BP, around Songshan Mountain. Through application of the SOFM (self-organizing feature map) networks, every type of ancient settlements was classified into different size-grades. By this means, the Peiligang settlements were divided into two grades, Yangshao and Longshan settlements were divided into three grades, respectively, and Xi- ashang settlements were divided into four grades. The results suggested that the size-grade diversity of ancient settlements was not significant during the Peiligang period in this area. Around the middle–late Yangshao period (5000 a BP), the size-grade diversity of ancient settlements began to appear, a process that continued during the Longshan period and finally matured in the Xiashang period. Moreover, the results reflected the regional differences in cultural characteristics in a particular period, which were mainly represented in that there were three Peiligang cultural systems distributed in different areas. Such differences also existed in the spatial distributive characteristics between the Xia and Shang cultures.
