    Coal Geochemistry: Dr. Hendra Amijaya Department of Geological Engineering Gadjah Mada University

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses coal geochemistry and organic matter analysis. It contains the following key points: 1. Coal is composed of macerals, which are microscopic constituents of organic matter that are distinguished by their properties. The main maceral groups are vitrinite, liptinite, and inertinite. 2. During the coalification process, organic matter undergoes changes in composition as it is transformed into coal through compaction and heating. This process can be tracked using diagrams that show changes in hydrogen/carbon and oxygen/carbon ratios. 3. The major elements in coal are carbon and hydrogen. Other important elements are sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Elemental composition varies between different fossil fuels and depends
