Abstract
A detailed organic geochemical study of Jharia coals from Damodar valley basin in India have been evaluated along with bulk organic characteristics as well as organic petrographic characteristics. Coals are from Lower Permian Barakar Formation, a major coal bearing strata in India.The Rock-Eval Pyrolysis parameters suggest that the coals are in sub-mature to over-mature stage. Pr/Ph, Pr/n-C₁₇ and Ph/n-C₁₈8 cross-plot suggests that the organic matters were deposited under oxic to sub-oxic condition. Absence of diterpenoids and triterpenoids biomarkers indicate high thermal maturity in coal samples. The presence of higher amount of inertinite content and absence of liptinite also support the higher maturity in coal samples. Distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are also indicating the effect of higher thermal maturity in our studied samples. The origin of the organic matter was found to be higher land plants. The presence of igneous intrusive bodies affects the organic geochemical parameters.
