Abstract
The petrographic composition of sapropelite coal from different deposits of Russia was investigated. It was revealed that the studied samples contain more than 75 % of macerals of the liptinite group, 8 to 24 % macerals of the vitrinite group, and minor amount of the group of inertinites (mainly fusinite), not more than 1-2 %. To determine the genetic maturity of the studied sapropelite coal, the reflectivity of vitrinite was determined. It was established that the vitrinite reflection index in the samples varies within a relatively narrow range from 0.27 % (the sample from the Charchik deposit) to 0.41 % (the sample from the Taimylyr deposit).
