Abstract: | The aromatic fraction of a Homestead, Kentucky, coal extract was analyzed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using glass capillary columns. The aromatic fraction was further analyzed by gas chromatography using sulfur specific flame photometric detection. Seventy-eight compounds were identified, some of which have been traced to their possible biological origins. Sulfur-containing aromatic compounds are thought to originate from reaction of elemental sulfur or pyrite with hydrocarbons. |
