过去,人们对煤炭功能、用途的认识局限在普通燃料、城市供热、工业用煤等传统领域。今天,随着科技的发展和经济的全球化,人们发现,这些埋藏在地下亿万年之久的宝贵资源,有了更多用武之地。比如煤制油、煤化工、活性炭(用于环保的产品)等等。煤炭,作为新疆的资源优势之一,正在通过新型工业化这一重大进程,真正转化为经济优势。 In the past, people’s understanding of the functions and uses of coal was confined to the traditional fields of ordinary fuels, urban heating and industrial coal. Today, with the development of science and technology and the globalization of the economy, people find that these valuable resources buried underground for hundreds of millions of years have become more and more used. Such as coal oil, coal chemical industry, activated carbon (for environmentally friendly products) and so on. Coal, as one of the resource advantages of Xinjiang, is truly transforming itself into an economic advantage through this important process of new-type industrialization.
