The organic hydrogen content of coal reduces with increasing
coalification degree.
Duber and Rouzaud discussed the change between the pores and the macromolecular structure of coal and proposed that the size and shape of the pores in coal depend on
coalification, the temperature, and the anisotropic stress, which can affect the metamorphic grade of coal [1].
Ibarra JV, Munoz E, Moliner R (1996) FTIR study of the evolution of coal structure during
coalification process.
This process is called "
coalification." During
coalification, peat undergoes several changes as a result of bacterial decay, compaction, heat and time.
In this E-W elongated basin, a high heat flow was responsible for
coalification of many lacustrine coal beds sandwiched in coarse grained fluvial to deltaic deposits (Becq-Giraudon, 1973; Saint-Martin, 1993).
Coal rank indicates the progressive alteration, or
coalification, from lignite to anthracite.
Implications of
coalification levels, Eureka Sound Formation, northeastern Arctic Canada.
Coalbed methane (CBM) is mainly formed during a long epoch of
coalification stages and reserves in the coal seams under the effect of stratum sedimentation accompanied by high temperature and pressure [1-4].
The reason for the similarity of the entire coal samples of Tharparkar under investigations for the elemental composition may be due to the fact that these samples belong to the same region and due to the same morphological, geological and atmospheric changes during
coalification; the coal samples attained the same mineral compositions.
Unconventional gas in coal measures is all natural gasses which are generated through evolution when the parent materials of source rocks underwent
coalification of biochemistry and physiochemistry.
Large amounts of methane formed during the
coalification process and stored in coal seams are released in the mine workings gradually as mining progresses.
