Studies of elemental distributions within discrete coal macerals: Use of secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Secondary ion mass spectrometry has been used to measure qualitatively the distributions of many trace and minor elements within some well-characterized coal macerals: vitrinite, fusinite and exinite. Complementary information was obtained by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Within the vitrinite specimens studied, a widely-dispersed largely inorganic aluminosilicate phase was identified, which contained a number of other trace elements. By contrast, within the organic-rich phase of this macerai, titanium was detected in a very even distribution; this suggests that some titanium may be bonded in an organic complex. The fusinite was shown to contain elevated concentrations of calcium, magnesium and fluorine, dispersed over a large portion of the maceral. The high fluorine content could be identified as an organo-fluoro compound using XPS. Exinite was found to contain lower concentrations of most elements, compared to other macerals. The organic composition of this maceral was significantly different from that of surrounding macerals; this could be seen from the enhanced emission of the C₂H₂-secondary ion and images of this ion thus clearly outlined the position of such macerals.     

Fourier transform infrared study of high-purity maceral types

A suite of density-differentiated macerals from several coals was analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to obtain information on the nature and magnitude of the variations exhibited by the various maceral fractions. The most characteristic change between maceral groups was the variation in aliphatic hydrogen content, with exinite ? vitrinite ? inertinite. Since the separation technique (density gradient centrifugation) generally provided a number of fractions within a maceral group region, some of these were also analysed. In a series of density fractions from a low rank vitrinite, it was found that the aliphatic hydrogen content decreased as the density increased. The inertinites also exhibited a decrease in aliphatic hydrogen. The inertinite C—O bands had extinction coefficients different from those of vitrinites or exinites. The data suggest that quite profound variations in organic structure as determined by FT-i.r. spectroscopy can exist within a maceral group, so that for the most critical work on coals it is necessary to take this into account.     

Behaviour of huminite macerals from Victorian brown coal in tetralin in autoclaves at temperatures of 300–380 °C

The behaviour of various huminite macerals and submacerals in a hydrogen-donor solvent, tetralin, at high temperature under hydrogen pressure was investigated. Small granular samples of three Victorian brown coals of different lithotype were treated with tetralin in two types of autoclave, at temperatures of 300–380 °C and under pressures of 5 or 10 MPa. The residual materials were investigated microscopically. This tetralin treatment caused huminite macerals and submacerals derived from highly gelified cellular material to become plastic even at temperatures as low as 340 °C, whereas it had no such effect on those derived from ungelified material. This relation between the degree of gelification and the tendency to become plastic during tetralin treatment in an autoclave is very similar to that found for vitrinite macerals and submacerals from bituminous coals.
