The effect of mineral matter on the laboratory pyrolysis of sediments, kerogens and coals, and of coal macerals mixed with either alumina, bentonite, kaolinite, or calcium carbonate has been investigated. Some minerals are more active than others in effecting changes in the composition of the pyrolysate. The relative content of low molecular weight pyrolysis products is higher for kerogens pyrolyzed in a mineral matrix than for isolated kerogens. Our limited data suggests that this is due to both condensation and gasification of higher molecular weight constituents in the `primary' pyrolysate. Differences in the content of aromatic versus aliphatic compounds have been noted when pyrograms from coal macerals are compared with pyrograms from coal maceral-mineral mixtures. We conclude that mineralogy is important in controlling the composition of kerogen pyrolysis products.
