In addition to the mineralogical research, the elemental analysis of the major components and heavy metals of mineral matter in coals has been accomplished. The chemical analysis of the major components confirmed that the mineral matter is a mixture of claystones and carbonates. Calculated dependences of same major components and heavy metals (CaO/MgO, TiO{sub 2}/V, CaO/Zn/Pb). The dependence of mineral matter concentration upon the calculated parameters enable, after coal combustion, to determine the character of obtained ash. Moreover, in those analyzed coals the amount of CaO is higher than the amount of MgO, which is connected with the occurrence not only of dolomite but also of calcite and gypsum. The mineralogical and chemical research of coals are absolutely necessary for ecological ash utilization.
