Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, In the last 15 years in Russia, there has been a rethinking of attitudes towards the coal industry. In Soviet Union it was one of the primary branches of industry and there was a ministry responsible for this, a network of research and engineering institutes and companies developed infrastructure of specialized machine-building factories producing equipment for these aims. In the late XX century the situation changed. Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons have significantly changed the raw materials structure of energy producing in our country. For quite a long period of time, coal manufacturers had certain difficulties. It is pleasant to point out that now the situation is changing substantially. In recent years coal has steadily returned to the structure of energy balance in Russia; the state goes through the effort of supporting research in the field of coal processing and coal preparation. Russian scientists have achieved serious results in the areas of new kinds of treatment, diversification of the use of coal, that is its use not only for producing energy but for new products. Papers published in the proceedings indicate that residents in cities have no reason to worry about the problems caused by coal combustion for power generation, that they will breathe clean air, that we have a respected place in what is called ‘clean coal energy’, that we supply with new products those who work in high technologies and in particular that we can extract rare earth elements from the coal feedstock. I would like to thank all authors of scientific papers, all participants of the XVIII International Coal Preparation Congress. I am sure that the Congress will work in warm atmosphere and will be effective and fruitful.

Leonid Weisberg Chairperson of the XVIII International Coal Preparation Congress

v Preface

Dear Congress participants, Changes in economic and market conditions of mineral raw materials in recent years have greatly increased demands on the efficiency of mining production. This is certainly true of the coal industry. World coal consumption is growing faster than other types of fuel and in the past year it exceeded 7.6 billion tons. Coal extraction and processing technology are continuously evolving, becoming more economical and environmentally friendly. “Clean coal” technology is becoming increasingly popular. Coal chemistry, production of new materials and pharmacology are now added to the traditional use areas—power industry and metallurgy. The leading role in the development of new areas of coal use belongs to preparation technology and advanced coal processing. Hi-tech modern technology and the increasing international demand for its effectiveness and efficiency put completely new goals for the University. Our main task is to develop a new generation of workforce capacity and research in line with global trends in the development of science and technology to address critical industry issues. Today Russia, like the rest of the world faces rapid and profound changes affecting all spheres of life. The defining feature of modern era has been a rapid development of high technology, intellectual capital being its main asset and resource. The dynamics of scientific and technological development requires activation of University research activities. The University must be a generator of ideas to meet the needs of the economy and national development. Due to the high intellectual potential, University expert mission becomes more and more called for and is capable of providing professional assessment and building science-based predictions in various fields. Coal industry, as well as the whole fuel and energy sector of the global economy is growing fast. Global multinational energy companies are less likely to be under state influence and will soon become the main mechanism for the rapid spread of technologies based on new knowledge. Mineral resources will have an even greater impact on the stability of the economies of many countries. Current progress in the technology of coal-based gas synthesis is not just a change in the traditional energy

vii viii Preface markets, but the emergence of new products of direct consumption, obtained from coal, such as synthetic fuels, chemicals and agrochemical products. All this requires a revision of the value of coal in the modern world economy. I believe that the Congress ICPC-2016 made a great contribution in promoting new knowledge, breakthrough technologies in a ﬁeld of coal preparation and time-sensitive approach to resource conservation of the world.

Vladimir Litvinenko Rector of Saint-Petersburg Mining University Welcome Speech

Dear participants, For the first time in 60 years the Russian Federation is hosting the International Coal Preparation Congress. For the coal industry the Congress is an event of true international significance and it is especially pleasant for me that it is held with the full support of the Ministry of Energy. Coal industry is an exceptional sector for Russia. The significance of the XVIII International Coal Preparation Congress is confirmed by the establishing in the country of a National Organizing Committee which includes the leaders of all major coal companies, and also representatives of scientific organizations and universities. In 2014 the Ministry of Energy worked out and approved a strategic program for development of coal industry up to 2030. The program is designed to meet stable and reliable internal demands of Russia for coal and coal products and solution of social problems, and it takes into account the development of the internal market due to advanced coal processing, coal chemistry products and comprehensive use of coal. The main goal of the Congress is to assist scientific and technological cooperation for the benefit of achieving progress in coal preparation and to find solutions of environmental issues, directly correlating with the strategic program of development of the coal industry, which once more underlines the importance of the Congress for our country. I would like to point out that, according to the traditions of the Congress, an exhibition on coal preparation equipment will be held. This is a unique opportunity for all companies and organizations working in the mining sector to demonstrate their scientific and technical achievements, to strengthen existing business contacts, and to develop new ones. I wish all the best to the participants of the Congress!
