A geochemical study of macerals from a Miocene 97101575 lignite and an Eocene bituminous coal, Indonesia
97101584 Oxygen distribution in maceral from the Ostrava-Karvina coal district
Stankiewicz. B. A. el ul. 0%. Geochem.. 1996, 24, (S), 531-545. Maceral concentrates from a Miocene lignite and an Eocene high-volatile bituminous-carbon coal from Southeastern Kalimantan. Indonesia were subjected to optical and chemical studies using pyrolysis, optical, electron microprobe and FTIR techniques. The results showed that differences in the pyrolysis products between the huminite and vitrinite samples reflect hoth maturation-related and paleobotanical differences. Data from the electron microprobe and Fourier transform IR spectrometry strongly support the results obtained by Py-GC-MS and microscopy.
Straka, P. ef ol. Uh/i-Rudy-Geo[. Pruzk7m7., 109h. 3, (71, 223%22h. (In Czech) This experiment determined the oxygen distribution in OH groups, CO groups, and oxygen-bonds of enriched maceral fractions of coal from the Ostrave-Karvina coal district, compared the content of the oxygencontaining groups in individual fractions, and evaluated their effect on the chemical structure of the fractions. In the enriched maceral fractions of coal, oxygen was present mainly in the form of -OH and 0 groups and considerably less in the CO and peroxide forms. In the inertinite fractions, oxygen is honded, to a large extent. in phenolic groups.

Povarennykh. M. Y. and Meitov. E. S. Litol. Polezn. Iskop., 1095, (4), 402414. (In Russian) An investigation took place into the forms of occurrence of rare and trace elements in coals and rocks of the germanium-brown coal field. Nonuniformity of distribution of Ge and a series of trace elements in coals of different deposit\ was found. Mass spectrometric data indicated that Ge and a series of trace elements were hound chemically. and not by sorption, to the coal.

Ma, Z. rf nl. Fuel Sci. Tcch77d. Ill/., lY96, 14. (II)), 1391-1403. Proton NMR imaging, using pyridine-di and acetone-d,,, was used to investigate solvent transport into coal. Solvent swelling of Fushun bituminous coal was also observed by proton spin density images. From these NMR images, some information on the transport and swelling behaviour of coal was obtained.
Bojarska. K. tind Bzowski. Z. Proc. Annu. Int. Pittsburgh Coal Co77f., 1995. 12. Sll-516. This study confirmed that the major components of the mineral matter of the coals are clay minerals and carbonates. The results of mineralogical and chemical studies of the energetic coals are used in ecological evaluation of ash utilization.

Kiavtsov, A. V. cf ul. khim. Tt,erd. Topl. (Moscow), 1996. (3), 73-80. (In Russian) A kinetic model of thermolysis (29%723°C) of peat was proposed based on experimental data on thermal conversion of the group components of two peats (Eriophorum-Sphagnum and Carex) and data on the mechanism of these transformations. The model was used to calculate the kinetic parameters (activation energy and rate constants) of thermolysis of the group components of six other peats.

(In Russian) The necessary number of structural parameters was defined, based on topological data of organic molecules containing N, 0, and S heteroatoms, and an algorithm to calculate the physicochemical characteristics of coal of different rank was developed. The numbers of chemical honds of different types and aromatic rings in one ‘molecule’ of coal were calculated based on the example of vitrinites in a metamorphic series.

Distinct differences in ash yield, sulfur content, and petrographical and palynolological constituents were observed in coal beds from the Ferris and Hanna Formations, in the Hanna basin, south-central Wyoming. These differences are interpreted to be controlled by tectonic changes of the Hanna basin and adjoining uplifts during evolutionary development, which. in turn, controlled mire chemicals and sedimentation. These conditions created two very different settings under which the peats developed during deposition of the Ferris and the Hanna Formations.

The use of a combination of a clean coal thickener with a squeeze belt press to recover the ultrafine coal in dryer scrubber effluent is proposed by the program detailed. A further essential part of this program is a proposal to demonstrate that the coal-water mixture produced from the scrubher sludge of a thermal dryer can he used as a dust suppressant.

Evidence is presented indicating that thermally treated Rosebud subbituminous coal may be oxidized at 80°C. under moist conditions, to provide sample stability as measured by oxygen adsorption test\.

Vassilev. S. el al. Fuel 1996, 75, (13). 1537-1542. Some relationships between coal rank (C) and the mineral and chemical composition of coals and their high-temperature ashes world-wide were studied. It was found that the occurrence, abundance and origin of mineral matter in coal depends to a certain extent cm the coal rank. Various processes related to some changes in inorganic matter during coalification are discussed. The metamorphic progression dnd leaching hehaviour of different minerals, phases and elements from low- to high-rank coals have resulted in essential changes in the mineral and chemical composition of coals.
