Organic Geochemical And Petrographi̇cal Characteristics Of Karliova Halifan (Bingol) Coals, Orhan Kavak, Selami Toprak
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
In this study, petrographic and organic geochemical characteristics of the Tertiary Karlıova-Halifan coals (Bingöl) were investigated. Determination of coal quality was based on chemical (moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash) and elemental analyses (C, H, O, S, N). The values of the huminite reflectances in organic matter-rich coal levels change between 0.368 and 0.573 %, which correspond to low maturity levels. These parameters are in good aggrement with their fluorescence colors, calorific value (average original-2266, dry-3177 Kcal/kg, upper calorific value) and average Tmax (417oC) values. The organic material in studied coals show low grade transformation due to low lithostatic pressure. …
