The Nor Arevik Coal Deposit, Southern Armenia
|
The Nor Arevik coal deposit is located in southernmost Armenia approximately 15 km north of Megri in the Synik Administrative District. Although the deposit is composed more of carbonaceous or combustible shale than of coal, it could be important as a local resource. Nor Arevik coal and combustible shale has been used in home heating and in a district heating facility in nearby Megri, apparently with some success. In addition, it cleans very well, the results being increased volatile matter and decreased ash yields. |
