The basic composition and thermal characteristics of Mongolian coal samples are determined: specifically, two coal samples from the Tavantolgoi and Nariinsukhait fields; and two lignite samples from the Baganuur and Shivee-Ovoo fields. Their reactivity in semicoking is studied. The composition and properties of the semicoke and tar produced are described. Possible applications of the semicoking products are noted.
