Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the optical anisotropy, optical sign, textural heterogeneity and deformational features of the maceral grains along with the Raman spectral characteristics of the seven coal samples collected from the Himalayan fold-thrust belts of Sikkim State, India.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the recovered materials (RM) from four extraction methods by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and carbon isotopic composition (δ13CRM) and found that the recovery yield is high in one of the wet-oxidation methods, showing significant organic residues (tissues) as evident from the SEM images.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural framework of coals from the Raniganj and the Jharia Basins as well as from the Himalayan fold-thrust belts of Sikkim, India, by vitrinite reflectance, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectrographs was investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Raman spectra of twenty borehole shale samples for assessing the hydrocarbon generation proficiency of the shales from the Barren Measures Formation (a stratigraphic unit of the Gondwana that is devoid of any workable coal seam) of the Jharia Basin, India, which was underinvestigated until now.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a maturity sequence from the Keluke Formation of the Upper Carboniferous marine-continental transitional depositional environment in the Qaidam basin, NW China has been geochemically characterized by bulk and molecular compositions, especially the behavior of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and organosulfur compounds.
Abstract: A maturity sequence from the Keluke Formation of the Upper Carboniferous marine–continental transitional depositional environment in the Qaidam basin, NW China has been geochemically characterized by bulk and molecular compositions, especially the behavior of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and organosulfur compounds. Some commonly used maturity parameters such as the methylnaphthalene ratio (MNR), the dimethylnaphthalene ratio (DNR), the methylphenanthrene ratio (MPR), methylphenanthrene index-3 (MPI-3), dimethylphenanthrene index-2 (DMPI-2), the methyldibenzothiophene ratio (MDR) and dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT) ratios (4,6-/1,6- + 1,8- + l,4-DMDBT and 2,4-/1,6- + 1,8- + l,4-DMDBT), Rock-Eval Tmax, and measured vitrinite reflectance (%Ro) increase gradually with burial depth, whereas others such as the trimethylnaphthalene ratio (TMNr), the tetramethylnaphthalene ratio (TeMNr), MPI-1, and DMPI-1 show no correlation with these maturity indicators. The calculated equivalent Ro values from MPR and MDR based ...
