Wang Zhuquan has been engaged in geological work for 60 years, and his research results involve many fields of geology, among which coalfield geology is the most, and he has put forward many original opinions. In the early years, the idea of identifying igneous areas with heavy minerals as a symbol was put forward. A new mineral "West Lake Stone" was discovered in Changping. Then, the major coalfields in Shandong, Anhui, Hebei, Jiangxi, Shanxi, Henan, Suiyuan (now Suiyuan City, Inner Mongolia), Shaanxi, Liaoning, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places were systematically investigated, which laid the foundation for large-scale exploration in the future. In 1950s, it was of exemplary significance to study the formation conditions and distribution laws of late Permian coalfields in southern China. The metamorphic law of China coal is studied and summarized. The contact metamorphic type of coal is put forward for the first time, which not only has practical significance, but also makes a positive contribution to the theory of coalfield geology. The first batch of 1: 1 10,000 geological maps of China-Taiyuan-Yulin map were edited. His Records of Shanxi Coal Mines and Formation Conditions and Distribution Rules of Late Permian Coalfield in South China are of classic significance. Important achievements have been made in the study of strata, structure, landforms and minerals in North China, East China, Northeast China and Southwest China.

Discover northern Shaanxi oilfield

Wang Zhuquan has not only made great achievements in coalfield geology, but also conducted extensive research and exploration on other minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, gold, aluminum, phosphate rock and oil. More than 30 articles have been published. He designed three boreholes in Yanchang Oilfield, from which oil came out. Yanchuan has designed two wells horizontally, and one well produces oil. In 1950, Wang Zhuquan also published a paper entitled "Several Problems Should Be Paid Attention to in Petroleum Exploration in Northern Shaanxi". Entrusted by the leaders of the Ministry of Fuel Industry, Wang Zhuquan attended the first symposium on petroleum geology.

A new viewpoint of coal metamorphism in North China is put forward for the first time.

1956, Wang Zhuquan published the paper "Zoning Distribution of Coal in North China and Its Geological Factors". In this paper, he is not limited by the traditional theory of coal metamorphism, and systematically analyzes and studies the geological structure characteristics of North China by using a large number of coal quality analysis data, and puts forward a new viewpoint of coal metamorphism in North China for the first time. Wang Zhuquan believes that most coalfields in North China have simple structures, gentle dip angles of coal seams and thin coal measures and overlying strata, so it is difficult to explain the formation of some highly metamorphic coalfields with the theory of dynamic metamorphism and regional metamorphism. He thinks that there are many magma intrusions along Taihang Mountain, and the coal seam is influenced by contact metamorphism to form high metamorphic bituminous coal and anthracite. However, there are fewer magmatic rocks in Luliang Mountain and Huoshan Mountain than in Taihang Mountain, so intermediate metamorphic bituminous coal is formed, and the exposure of magmatic rocks tends to weaken from east to west, and the metamorphic degree of coal also decreases. Igneous metamorphism plays an important role in coal metamorphism in North China, but the role of regional metamorphism and dynamic metamorphism in coal metamorphism in North China is not denied. After the publication of this paper, it caused a heated discussion in the geological circles at that time.

1958, Wang Zhuquan published a paper "New Interpretation of Paleogeography of Carboniferous and Permian Coal Measures in Northern China and Its Significance for Predicting New Coalfield". Based on a large number of exploration data, he made a comprehensive analysis of the main coal-bearing strata in northern China. According to the law of lithofacies change, it is pointed out that Carboniferous and Permian strata in northern China were originally deposited in the same giant coastal swamp plain and inland alluvial plain. It is revealed that the coalfields in various places are caused by crustal movement and erosion after stratigraphic deposition. The coalfields in North China belong to the same swamp plain, so it is inferred that there must be a large area of Carboniferous-Permian coal-bearing strata under the vast alluvial plain in northern China, including Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and northern Anhui. He pointed out that because the underlying strata of Carboniferous-Permian coal-bearing series are mainly Ordovician limestone, it is very likely to find shallow Carboniferous-Permian coal-bearing strata under the alluvial plain exposed by this limestone. This inference has been proved by practice. Such as Jining and Feicheng in Shandong, Che Zhou Mountain in Xingtai, Yutian and Tangshan in Hebei, Jiulishan and Peixian in Jiangsu, Su Xian in Anhui and Zhenshan in Henan, have all found coal fields with rich reserves. With the improvement of exploration methods, it can be predicted that it is still possible to continue to discover new coalfields in the lower part of the vast plain in North China.

The viewpoint of identifying igneous areas with heavy minerals as a symbol is put forward.

Wang Zhuquan has also done a lot of research work in mineral petrology and put forward some original opinions. 65438-0930 During his study in the United States, he studied the heavy minerals in igneous rocks in Wisconsin, USA. He pointed out that each igneous intrusion has special heavy minerals in quality and quantity, which can be used to identify various igneous intrusions, and each igneous area also has its own special heavy mineral group, which can be used to identify the active area of the same magma in the same period. The theory of identifying igneous areas with heavy minerals as a symbol is established. After the publication of this theory, it attracted the attention of geologists in various countries at that time and won honor for the motherland. 1936, Wang Zhuquan discovered a new mineral named "Xihu Stone" in Xihu Village, Changping, Hebei. Its chemical composition is [Ca(MnFeZn)5(SO3)6]. The name of this new mineral has been adopted by mineralogists all over the world.

It enriches and corrects the achievements of American geologists in geomorphology research.

1925, Wang Zhuquan published History of Geomorphology Development of the Yellow River in Shanxi and Shaanxi and A Brief History of Literature Development in Shanxi and Shaanxi. 1928 wrote The Land of the Yellow River in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and made a comprehensive study on the landform of China, enriching and revising the achievements of American geologist B Willis and Swedish geologist j·g· An Tesheng on landform research. He is one of the geologists who studied landforms earlier in China. From graduation to 1930s, Wang Zhuquan did a lot of field investigation and indoor research in North China, Northeast China and East China. He has published more than 40 investigation reports and papers.
