A sample of kerogen from Aleksinac oil shale was examined by high-resolution solid-state Iac n.m.r. spectroscopy. The presence and relative proportions of kerogen structural units were estimated using a combination of NQS and Tlpc methods with a peak-synthesis technique applied to the 13C CP-MAS spe

-polarization and magic-angle spinning suggest that the aromatic carbons in oil shales are largely inert to thermal processes and instead are responsible for the carbonaceous residue obtained during retorting. These results are based on 13C n m.r. measurements of the organic carbon distribution of oil shales, before and after Fischer assaying, and for oil shales of different grades, geographic location, geologic ages and formations. The n.m.r. measurements suggest further that measurements of the organic carbon distribution of oil shales heated to various temperatures have practical relevance, and thatthis information can be of value in discriminating between unconverted kerogen and residual carbon in heated oil shales.

A number of samples of shale oil prepared under various conditions have been examined by 13C n.m.r. using multiple-pulse techniques that allow carbon-type assignments. Previous assignments by Netzel et a/. (Fuel 1981,60,307) are confirmed and several new ones made. Product chemistry is then examined
Three Polish coal samples (flame coal, gas coal and orthocoking coal) and their macerals were studied in the solid state by means of 13C cross polarization/magic angle spinning n.m.r. and FT-i.r. spectroscopies. Several structural parameters derived from these analyses allow the characterization of
A method for estimation of aromatic content in oil shales is demonstrated. Magic-angle spinning at 2 kHz is shown to remove chemical shift anisotropy to a sufficient degree to resolve aromatic and aliphatic 13C n.m.r. spectral regions for a lithic oil shale specimen. The proton and carbon n.m.r. rel
