　　Shenmu Coal

　　Shenmu in Shaanxi Province is the coal accumulation center of the Shenfu Jurassic Coalfield. The county has a coal-bearing area of over 4,500 square kilometers, accounting for 60% of its total area, with proven reserves exceeding 50 billion tons. The geological structure of the coal seams is simple, the deposits are stable, the seams are shallow, and the coal is easy to extract. The coal quality is excellent, classified as ultra-low ash, ultra-low phosphorus, ultra-low sulfur, high calorific value, high volatile content, weakly caking or non-caking long-flame high-quality thermal and environmentally friendly coal. The coal exhibits good chemical reactivity and thermal stability, making it an ideal fuel for power generation, gasification, liquefaction, chemical processing, building materials, and civil use. Key indicators include: ash content 4–10%, sulfur content 0.3–0.8%, phosphorus content 0.002–0.3%, moisture content 5–11%, volatile matter 30–38%, and calorific value 6,000 (low calorific) – 7,200 kcal/kg. It is an excellent coal for gasification, chemical use, and power generation, and can be used to produce activated carbon, coal-water slurry, and more. It is widely used in chemical and metallurgical industries, and is an ideal raw material for energy-intensive industries (such as those producing calcium carbide, silicon carbide, ferroalloys, and other products). It is also an ideal material for blast furnace injection in the steelmaking industry. Shenmu coal has low sulfur content, making it a preferred choice for reducing air pollution. Governments in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin strongly encourage coal-consuming organizations to use Shenmu coal from Shaanxi in order to reduce urban pollution. Shenmu coal is gaining favor among more and more enterprises and institutions, and its promotion is expanding across additional cities nationwide.
