Insights Into Chemical Structure Changes Of Kerogen From Bituminous Coal In Response To Dike Intrusions Investigated By Advanced Solid-State 13C Nmr, Yuan Li
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Variations in the chemical structures of kerogens From highly volatile bituminous coal located near two igneous dike intrusions in the Illinois Basin were examined in detail by advanced solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Spectral-editing techniques were used to identify specific functional groups. Direct polarization was used to quantify different functional groups. 1H-13C two- dimensional heteronuclear NMR was used to examine connectivities and proximities, and 1H-13C long-range recoupled dipolar dephasing was used to estimate aromatic cluster sizes. With decreasing distance to dike contacts and increasing thermal maturity (vitrinite reflectance R0 from …

Although the information on domains and heterogeneities of natural organic matter (NOM) can provide insights into its formation mechanisms, the appropriate solid-state NMR technique for measuring them is still lacking. The traditional technique requires mobility differences in NOM whereas NOM components are primarily rigid. We introduced a new 1H spin diffusion technique, 1H-13C two-dimensional heteronuclear correlation (2D HETCOR) NMR with 1H spin diffusion, for characterization of domains and heterogeneities in aquatic and sedimentary organic matter. It was achieved by collecting a series of 2D HETCOR spectra with a variable mixing time, tm', and …
