“…In the early 1990s, Anderson and others devised a system for the classification of amber based on the chemical structures of the constituent molecules identified by means of pyrolysis GC and MS . Whereas the NMR method is phenomenological, as it is based on spectral patterns rather than molecular identification, the two approaches nonetheless led to the same set of categories.…”

Examination of the solid-state (13)C and solution (1)H NMR spectra of fossilized resins (ambers) has generated five groupings of materials based on spectral characteristics. The worldwide Group A is associated with the botanical family of the Araucariaceae. The worldwide Group B is associated with the Dipterocarpaceae. Baltic amber or succinite (Group C) is related to Group A but with a disputed conifer source. Amber from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa is associated with the Fabaceae, the genus Hymenaea in particular. The minor Group E contains the rare fossil polystyrene. The spectra of jet indicate that it is a coal-like material with a rank between lignite and sub-bituminous coal.

“…Figure 2a shows the mathematically constructed "discriminant spectrum" for the DI+ direction obtained by means of the numerical procedure described by Windig and Meuzelaar (1984). The characteristic variables of the concentrated resinite fraction (sample 20), namely, m/z 202, 204, 206,163, and 81 are all prominent in this spectrum (Simoneit et al, 1986; Crelling et al, 1990). The characteristic aliphatic hydrocarbon pattern shown in Figure 2b can be recognized as that of the Colorado oil shale (sample 14), shared also by the King Cannel coal (sample 12).…”

Resiite is a ~turally occuning substance found in coal and derived fiom original plant resins. It is ubiquitous in North American coals. It makes up one to four percent by volume of most Illinois coals. It has been commercially exploited in the western USA for use in adhesives, varnishes and thermal setting inks. The overall objective of this project is to compare the properties of the resinite contained in Illinois Basin cods to resinite being commercially exploited in the western United States, and to recover the resinite fiom Illinois coals by microbubble column floatation techniques. The significance of this study is that it has the potential to show the way to recover a valuable chemical, resinite, fiom coal using only physical processing techniques. The value of the resinite at $l.OO/kg or $0.50/lb makes it about fifty times more valuable than steam coal. The removal of resinite fiom coal does not decrease the value of the remaining coal in any way. The unique aspects are that: 1) it is the first examination of the resinite recovee potential of Illinois coal, 2) it integrates the latest characterization techniques such as density gradient centrikgation, rnicrospectrofluorometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and 3) it uses microbubble column flotation to determine the resinite recovery potential. During this quarter samples were obtained, SUMMARYResinite is a naturally occurring substance found in coal. It is derived from resins in the o r i d plants that were the precursors of the coal. Resinite is ubiquitous in North American coals. Analyses of hundreds of coal samples fiom all parts of the Illinois Basin show a resinite content of fiom less than one percent to more than four percent by volume. The primary sample to be used in this study is sample 101 from the Illinois Basin Coal Sample Program. It has a resinite content of 2.9 % . When one considers that the state of Illinois has the largest demonstrated reserves of bituminous coal in. the U.S., about 65 billion tons, it is a simple calculation to determine that there is a great reserve of resinite in the state. Although the resinite in Illinois has not been exploited commercially, resinite has been exploited with success in the western U.S., especially in the coalfields of the Wasatch Plateau in Utah. Recent work by Miller and his colleagues at the University of Utah supported by the USDOE has shown successfbl pilot-plant proof-of-concept testing in the recovery of resinite.It is clear that there is a vast amount of resinite in Illinois coals and that if it could be recovered and used, it would be a commercially significant chemical product.The overall objective of this project is to compare the properties of the resinite contained in Illinois Basin coals to resinite being commercially exploited in the western United States, and to recover the resinite fiom Illinois coals by microbubble column floatation techniques. This project is relevant to priority 1.4A identified in ICCIflRFp93-1. Priority 1.4A states, "Production of chemical...
