Rock-Eval Pyrolysis and Petrographic Characteristics of Coals of Chintalapudi Sub-Basin, Pranhita-Godavari Basin, Southern India: Implication to Depositional Environment
Abstract:The results of the Rock-Eval pyrolysis and petrological investigation carried out on coal samples from the Chintalapudi sub-basin of the Pranhita- Godavari basin have been discussed to identify the assessment of the maturity, type, and quantity of organic matter and interpret the depositional environment. Petrographically these coals are enriched in vitrinite (40.0%-60.7%) followed by liptinite (7.3%-26.0%) and inertinite (9.3%-24.0%) macerals.TOC concentrations range from 17.54% to 64.97%. S1 ranges from 0.3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
