Reconnaissance peatland surveys

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6287643
The purpose of this project is to survey major peatlands in Minnesota that may have potential for energy use. Peatlands in Aitkin, Beltrami, Carlton, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, and St. Louis counties were surveyed at a reconnaissance level. The quality and type of peat were determined, and representative peat samples were gathered and analyzed for Btu content, degree of decomposition, composition (proximate and ultimate), mineral content, bulk density, pH, and water content.
