/sup 13/C-NMR tracer to probe coalification. [Lignin coalified at 200/sup 0/C]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5337282

Solid-state NMR tracer experiments of synthetically prepared (/sup 13/C)lignins coalified under simulated geological conditions have illuminated a general chemical scheme for coalification. The labeling studies provide the first direct evidence for the conversion of aliphatic structures into aromatic structures during coalification. 5 refs., 2 figs.
