The present-day noitons about possible directions of non-traditional use of coals are considered, the choice of the optimal complex of material-genetic parameters and indices of coals quality at the stages of search and estimation works is substantiated, for their evaluation as a raw material for production of synthetic liquid fuel, wax, coal-humic preparations of various destination, coal-alkaline reagents, pigments, filtering materials, silica carbide, sulphocoals, thermoanthracite on the base of analysis and generalization of the laboratory research and modeling of treatment processes has been made.
