Relationships between trace elements and organic matter in coals

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Chemicals & Chemistry -- Fresh data on Chemistry - Geochemistry are presented in a new report. According to news reporting out of Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by VerticalNews editors, research stated, “The modes of occurrence of trace elements (TEs) in coals are important for assessing the potential for economic extraction of valuable TEs (Ge, Ga, Li, REY, PGEs, etc.) and to determine the environmental risk of hazardous TEs (F, Cl, As, Cr, Cd, Pb, etc.). To date, associations of TEs with inorganic components (minerals) are well understood.”

Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China, Science Foundation of Hebei, Program for One Hundred Innovative Talents in Universities of the Hebei Province.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the China University of Mining and Technology, “However, information on the relationships of TEs with organic matter in coals is relatively limited. This review compares indirect and direct methods employed to investigate the modes of occurrence of TEs in coals, focusing on the associations of TEs with organic matter. Those TEs with a strong organic relationship are identified and detailed; they include Ge, U, Ga, REY, Be, B, As, Se, Cl, Br, and W. Other TEs weakly related with organic matter in coals are also detailed in the order of their periodic table groups.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Finally, the influence of coal rank on the relationship of TEs with organic matter is discussed, and an inherent geochemical law, i.e., the element periodic law, is proposed to govern the relationship.”
