Processes for the concentration of valuable elements in solid fossil fuels and methods for their determination in the composition of coal and oil shale are presented. Various methods of extracting valuable elements (for example, germanium) from fossil raw materials and their conversion products and an ecological aspect of the influence of the toxic compounds of trace elements formed upon the extraction and processing of fossil fuels are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
