Cj. Wang et al., THERMAL-INDUCED POLYCONDENSATION OF SOLUBLE ORGANIC-MATTER IN COAL OFLOWER MATURATION STAGE, Chinese Science Bulletin, 43(6), 1998, pp. 501-504
A brief discussion is given to the thermal-induced polycondensation of
soluble organic matter (SOM) in coal during lower maturation stage, b
ased on laboratory simulation on hydrocarbon generation from coal and
on correlation with natural maturation of coal. An essential relations
hip between the retrogressive variation of SOM and thermal-induced pol
ycondensation during the lower maturation stage has been established.
