The work performed during this period consisted of writing two papers, the submission of another, data acquisition of two major coal series, writing of additional software, transfer and subsequent setting up of lab equipment as a result of the move from Southern Illinois University to Texas Tech University. We are currently completing data acquisition and reduction on 20 crushed-particle pellets of two North American Carboniferous Coal seams (Hartshorne from Oklahoma and Lower Kittanning from Pennsylvania and Ohio). These pellets cover a rank range which extends from high-volatile bituminous to low-volatile bituminous. The time-resolved fluorescence properties are being studied as a function of rank and maceral type. For the high-volatile coals, the sporinite, cutinite, resinite, and fluorinite macerals are being investigated, while for the medium and low volatile bituminous coals, the secondary fluorescing macerals are studied. 5 figs.
