Variations in the compositional profile of polycyclic aromatic moieties in coals from Bara, Patala and Salt Range formations: Insights into the mechanisms affecting the sedimentary record
This study focuses on the variations in concentration and composition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different sedimentary records from Baluchistan, Sindh, and Punjab. Proximate and ultimate analyses, especially calorific values characterized Padhrar coal as bituminous A, Duki coal as highly volatile bituminous C, and sub-bituminous C class for Lakhra coal. The geochemical profile of organic matter was determined using substituted naphthalenes, phenanthrenes, and dibenzothiophenes ratios. Coal samples were thermally mature and indicated shale type lithology as evidenced by geochemical criteria. Moreover, the presence of depositional environmental biomarkers like benzothiophene and alkyl benzothiophene indicated the carbonate evaporate depositional environment, whilst the presence of 1-methylphenanthrene, pyrene, benzopyrene, and perylene in the aromatic fraction revealed the dominance of terrestrial organic matter.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
