Tectonized coals with various deformation types and extents were collected mostly in Huaibei area, which is the main study area. On the basis of overall characterization of coal samples on macro- and microscopic scales and vitrinite reflectance measurements, in combination with geological analyzes of study region, mining area and coal mines where the samples were collected and present achievements on classification of tectonized coals, the tectonized coal types of each collected samples were determin...
