Abstract
Coal samples of different grades representing the sequence of metamorphic transformation were studied. It was established by means of NMR spectroscopy that the contribution from carbon in structural fragments of aromatic rings increases with an increase in coal maturity. The contribution from the end atoms of alkyl fragments and oxygen-containing groups decreases proportionally. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the individual representatives of the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the organic extracts of black coal was determined by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Coal of K and KS grades is characterized by the maximal total concentration of PAH - from 363.4 to 432.0 μg/kg. The regularity of the change of total PAH composition with an increase in coal maturity was revealed. The maximum of the curve corresponds to the samples with vitrainite reflectance factor equal to 1.185-1.310 %.
