Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 SPATIO-TEMPORAL VARIATION IN QUALITY OF THE OLIGOCENE COALS OF TIKAK PARBAT FORMATION, MAKUM COALFIELD, NORTH EASTERN INDIA R.K. SARMAH Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The Makum Coalfield is located in Upper Assam of North Eastern India. The
present study is confined only to the Tikak Parbat Formation of Barail Group
(Oligocene) and based on the analysis of surface and subsurface data.
Spatio-temporal variation patterns of chemical parameters of five regional
coal seams i.e. 60ft., 7ft., 20ft., 5ft., and 8ft. seams of the Tikak Parbat succession suggest
a strong influence of depositional setting on coal quality.
Comparative study of the distribution patterns in sulphur, carbon and volatile
matter content in coals have revealed several high and low value zones and in general,
two distinct areal zones can be recognised in the coal basin where the chemical
parameters show some geologically significant interrelationship. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : R.K. SARMAH, (2013).
