STRUCTURE OF THE FUEL AND ENERGY BALANCE OF THE URAL FERROUS METALLURGY ENTERPRISES IN THE LATE 19^th — EARLY 20^th (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE “COLLECTIONS OF STATISTICAL DATA ON THE MINING INDUSTRY OF RUSSIA” 1882—1911)

Abstract

The article considers the structure of the fuel and energy balance of the Ural ferrous metallurgy plants in 1882—1911 based on the data on fuel procurement in the “Collections of statistical data on the mining industry of Russia”. The information about the fuel has been recalculated to the equivalent fuel. The influence of various factors on the structure of the consumed fuel is analyzed: specialization of plants (charcoal was the main fuel for iron smelting plants, firewood was the fuel for iron and steel producers); capacities of plants (mineral fuel was distributed primarily in powerful factories); geographical location of plants (fossil coals were widely distributed in factories located near coal deposits in the Urals, oil was used by factories with convenient transport infrastructure, peat and wood substitutes (stumps, twigs, etc.) — plants in the Eastern Urals, plants located on the periphery of the mining Urals did not use mineral fuel). The relationship between the fuel and energy balance of plants and their “viability” is shown. In the 1880s and during the crisis of 1900—1905, low-power plants were stopped. During the depression of 1907—1910 large enterprises began to close.

Key words

Ferrous metallurgy, Ural, mining industry, fuel, fuel and energy balance.
