Abstract

Functional groups and mineral matters in Talcher coal have been identified with the help of FTIR. Oxygen bearing functional group mostly hydroxyl is common in bulk as well as different lithotypes. Minerals such as kaolinite, quartz, goethite etc. have been identified from the spectra. The functional groups data have been used to interpret the conditions of formation of the different lithotypes.
