Abstract

Analytical technology is constantly being developed, refined, and applied to different materials. A key objective is to develop technologies that are non-destructive, rapid, and improve data accuracy. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a non-destructive analytical technique that measures the spectral response of molecular bonds within mineral crystals or organic matter, caused by their excitation by light. The technique has a potential to save time and money for the coal exploration and mining companies. Typically, minerals within borehole cores are characterised based on their unique spectral properties within specific infrared ranges and presented as a function of reflectance versus wavelength. to examine spectra generated on coal core samples using HSI. The HSI spectral data were compared to traditional approaches X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, proximate data, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A coal core from Witbank Coalfield, South Africa (Medium Rank C bituminous, inertinite-rich, generally high ash), was examined within the visible-near infrared (VNIR) (350–1000 nm) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) (1000–2500 nm) regions. The HSI coal spectra exhibit positive slopes with low reflectance values within the VNIR region and gradual increase of reflectance values in the SWIR region. The spectra are influenced by very-fine grained clay and Fe-rich minerals (pyrite and siderite) included in the coal; the latter was verified by XRD as pyrite and siderite. The spectra with higher amounts of organic matter are flat and the absorption features are weaker due to the absorbing nature of the carbon. The identified absorption features for coal functional groups within VN-SWIR are 1700 nm (CH), 2200–2206 nm (CH2, CC, CO) and ∼ 2310 nm (CH3), which were confirmed by FTIR data. However, the absorption features between 2200 and 2450 nm are affected by overlapping bands of inorganic phases, resulting in uncertainty. The bright banded coal (vitrinite-rich) can be adequately separated from the dull coal (inertinite-rich) through the extraction (D) of D2200 and the deepest feature between D2100 - D2450. The technique can also distinguish the carbonaceous shale from coal, demonstrating the ability to differentiate rock types based on the mineral composition and proportions.

煤芯的高光谱成像:聚焦可见光-近短波红外(VN-SWIR)区域
分析技术在不断发展、完善并应用于不同的材料。其主要目标是开发无损、快速和提高数据准确性的技术。高光谱成像(HSI)是一种非破坏性分析技术,可测量矿物晶体或有机物中分子键受光激发后产生的光谱响应。该技术可为煤炭勘探和开采公司节省时间和资金。通常情况下,钻孔岩心中的矿物是根据其在特定红外范围内的独特光谱特性进行表征的,并呈现为反射率与波长的函数关系。HSI 光谱数据与传统的 X 射线荧光、X 射线衍射、近似数据和傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)方法进行了比较。在可见近红外(VNIR)(350-1000 nm)和短波红外(SWIR)(1000-2500 nm)区域对南非维特班克煤田的煤芯(中等级 C 烟煤,富含惰性石,灰分一般较高)进行了检测。HSI 煤炭光谱呈现正斜率,在 VNIR 区域内反射率值较低,而在 SWIR 区域内反射率值逐渐增加。光谱受到煤中细粒粘土和富铁矿物(黄铁矿和菱铁矿)的影响;后者经 XRD 验证为黄铁矿和菱铁矿。VN-SWIR 中煤炭官能团的吸收特征为 1700 nm(CH)、2200-2206 nm(CH2、CC、CO)和 ~ 2310 nm(CH3),傅立叶变换红外光谱数据证实了这一点。然而,2200 至 2450 纳米之间的吸收特征受到无机相带重叠的影响,导致不确定性。通过对 D2200 和 D2100 - D2450 之间最深特征的提取(D),可将明亮的带状煤(富含玻璃石)与暗淡的煤(富含惰性石)充分区分开来。该技术还可将碳质页岩与煤区分开来,证明了根据矿物成分和比例区分岩石类型的能力。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Coal Geology deals with fundamental and applied aspects of the geology and petrology of coal, oil/gas source rocks and shale gas resources. The journal aims to advance the exploration, exploitation and utilization of these resources, and to stimulate environmental awareness as well as advancement of engineering for effective resource management.
