ANALYSIS AND APPLICATION OF INFRA-RED SPECTRA FOR KEROGEN

The author applied infrared spectral to kerogen study. In this paper, following topics were discussed. 1) Relationship between major absorption bands from high frequency to low frequency and chemical structures. 2) Infrared absorption characteristics for kerogens derived from different precursor. 3) Infrared absorption characteristics of thermal simulations at Various heating temperatures and its relation with the functional groups.
