Rational usage of coals with high content of sulfur is very important problem for Donetsk basin, because near 70 % of coal stock contains more than 3 % of sulfur. Content of sulfur is important criteria of fuel quality that is connected with genetic type of coals by reductivity. Three pairs of Donetsk low-rank bituminous coals of different genetic type (reduced coal-RC and lowreduced coal-LRC) were studied in this work. A comparative study of thermal destruction process of RC and LRC coals and distribution of sulfur in the semi-coking products has been carried out.
