Coal properties are controlled by the following two factors : One is the maceral components and the other is the degree of coalification. In other words, even if coals in question indicate the same degree of coalification, their chemical and physical properties considerably vary one another when their maceral components are different. It is well known that virtrinite reflectance is the best single criterion for the degree of coalification covering the whole range of coal rank. Some authors have recently insisted that sporinite fluorescence is more leliable coal rank parameter than vitrinite reflectance in case of low rank coals. In this paper, to examine the relince of sporinite fluorescence as coal rank parameter, fluidity analysis of coals is newly performed and the data are analyzed in comparision with those of virinite reflectance, sporinite fluorescence and maceral components. The results of this study are as follows; 1) Vitrinite reflectance becomes low when degradinite content is high within one columnar samples, and vice versa. 2) variation of vitrinite reflectance depend on degradinite content and on difference of roiginal plant. 3) In dealing with the Japanese paleogene coals, sporinite fluorescence is more reliable parameter indicating the degree of coalification than vitrinite reflectance. 4) Maximum fluidity increases exponetially in proportion to the increases of degradinite content.

태안군 마도 해역 해저에서 인양된 마도 1호선의 선체 내 외부에서 출토된 석탄의 지구화학적 및 광학적, 광물학적 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 석탄의 비중은 $1.28g/cm^3$로 약 10%의 광물질 함유 상태를 고려하면 순수한 석탄만의 비중은 $1.15g/cm^3$ 정도이며, 갈탄과 유연탄 사이의 범위 해당된다. X-선 회절분석 결과는 peak점의 $2{\theta}$는 $20^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}$ 사이로 낮은 탄화정도의 석탄에 해당되었으며, 석탄구성물질 분류에서 비트리나이트 군이 93~94%, 엑시나이트 군이 5~6%, 인어티나이트군이 1% 이었다. 또한 석탄의 비트리나이트 평균반사율은 $R_{mean}$: 0.627로 고휘발분역청탄 C(high volatile bituminous C coal) 또는 아역청탄 A(sub-bituminous A coal)에 해당된다. 공업분석 결과 미국 광무국의 기준에 의하면 아역청탄 A(sub-bituminous A coal) 또는 고휘발분역청탄 C(high volatile bituminous C coal)에 해당되며, 원소 분석 결과 역청탄에 해당되는 점결탄으로 분류된다. 마도1호선 석탄과 국내 석탄을 비교 분석 결과 포항 인근 장기지역의 갈탄과 유사하였다.

The anthracite coalfields of Korea are confined to the areas where sedimentary rocks of Permian and Jurassic are preserved. The Chungnam coalfield lies in the sedimentary rocks of Jurassic which belongs to the Daedong Supergroup (the Nampo group). For the property analysis of each coal seam interbeded in Daedong Supergroup, Seongju area is chosen and twelve coalseams are taken. Many standard tests have been established for optical analysis (maceral analysis, coalification degree measurement), chemical analysis (proximate, ultimate analysis) and physical analysis (ignition temperature, ash fusion temperature, hardgrove grindability index and X-ray diffraction). The Jurassic anthracite mainly consist of vitrinite and macrinite and the range of the reflectance is $R_{max}$ 5.0-6.5 which means metaanthracite rank. By the chemical composition analysis, it shows low H/C and high O/C value compare with international average value. By the physical analysis, it has very high ignition temperature ($531-584^{\circ}C$) and ash fusion temperature ($1510-1700^{\circ}C$) and very low combustion velocity (0.2-1.9 mg/min). The very wide range of the hardgrove grindability index (46-132) means that the grindability controlled mainly by the structural conditions of coal bearing strata.

In order to make economic and geological evaluation of coal in Korea, proximate and ultimate analyses were carried out as well as coal petrological studies such as maceral analyses, vitrinite reflectance and sporinite fluorescence measurement. The coeffcient of correlation between each factor of both conventional utilization and coal petrological parameters were studied as in Table 5 and 6. Their conclusions were as follow: (1) for anthracite, the good parameters of coal rank are mean vitrinite reflectance, carbon content, hydrogen content and H/C atomic ratio: (2) for brown coal and sub-bituminous coal, the good parameters of coal rank are carbon content, calorific value, moisture content, hydrogen content, oxygen content and O/C atomic ratio as well as vitrinite reflectance and sporinite fluorescence. An attempt is made to infer the coalforming environment by utilization of coal petrological analyses and to make comparison of coal analyses with proximate and ultimate analyses throughout the island arc region including Japan, Philippine and Indonesia and continental region including USA, Canada and Australia. As a result, meceral composition of Paleozoic and Mesozoic anthracite are similar to that of the Paleozoic continental coals, which were formed under dry conditions or low water table, but the coalification degree suddenly increased during Daebo orogeny (middle Jurassic to lower Cretaceous). The Tertiary coal resembles those of Tertiary island arc region coal characterized by higher calorific value, volatile matter content and H/C atomic ratio and by the formation of coal under wet conditions or higher water table.
