The influence of underwater spark discharge on the structure of shubarkul coal

Abstract

Nowadays petroleum is the main source of organic raw materials. Its limited world reserves and permanent increase in the cost of production due to involvement in exploitation more hard-to-reach fields stimulates the development of new technologies for chemical processing of alternative organic raw materials. Coal, world reserves of which are substantially larger than those of oil and gas, is considered in the future as one of the basic raw materials for the production of motor fuels and organic synthesis products. In this paper we propose to process Shubarkul coal using electric hydro-pulse technology. Application of electric hydraulic technique brings substantial economic benefits and contributes to significantly reduce harmful emissions into the environment or recycle harmful waste products. Study of influence of electric hydraulic effects on heterogeneous media due to rising costs for energy and mineral resources, the deterioration of the environmental situation is currently necessary and urgent
