Review and update of the applications of organic Petrology: Part 1, geological applications
International Journal of Coal Geology, 2012Co-Authors: Isabel Suárez-ruiz, Deolinda Flores, João Graciano Mendonça Filho, Paul C. HackleyAbstract:Abstract Organic Petrology developed as coal Petrology at the beginning of the 20th century dedicated mainly to the study of coals because of their utilization in industry. Coal Petrology was then considered a branch of coal science. Later, with the development of specialized nomenclature, classification of coal components, and the standardization and improvement of analytical (microscopical) methods, this discipline expanded in interests and name, becoming organic Petrology. Organic Petrology carries a broader context, being as well a tool applied in the study of dispersed organic matter in sedimentary rocks due to its importance in exploration for fossil fuel resources. At present, organic Petrology is a discipline widely recognized for its role in fundamental and applied research with respect to both coal utilization and in geosciences. Throughout the 20th century several important monographs have been published on the discipline of organic Petrology, including “Stach's textbook of coal Petrology” (1st edition 1935, 2nd 1975, 3rd 1982), updated as the more general “Organic Petrology” by Taylor et al. (1998). More recently, the text “Applied coal Petrology: the role of Petrology in coal utilization” was published by Suarez-Ruiz and Crelling (2008). This review is the first in a two-part review series that describes and updates the role of organic Petrology in geosciences. A second part complementing this one and focused on the applications of organic Petrology to other scientific fields will follow.

Other Applications of Coal Petrology
Applied Coal Petrology, 2008Co-Authors: Isabel Suárez-ruizAbstract:Publisher Summary The primary aim of this chapter is to highlight applications of the coal Petrology. Coal Petrology and the techniques used in coal Petrology, particularly optical microscopy, have important applications in a number of areas related to coal and its derivative products as well as in other areas not directly related to coal. The application of organic Petrology methods in archaeology in relation to the organic gems and artifacts, environmental studies, spontaneous combustion, forensic geology, and auto brakes is discussed. Other applications of coal petrography include those of a predictive character, which are used to predict the Hardgrove grindability of coal. Coal Petrology and geochemistry are used in archaeological investigation to determine the provenance of coal and other materials such as those related to jet and occasionally amber, both of which are considered gemstones.
