Abstract

Comparison of natural series of type III coals and type II kerogens with experimental results have shown that the cold-seal autoclave system offers the possibility to simulate the maturation of organic matter. The experimental vessel as well as the temperature regulation and monitoring systems are described in some detail. Limitations of the technique for mass balance calculations and simulations on whole rocks are discussed and indicate necessary improvements of this system for organic geochemistry purposes.
