Introduction
Classification of Huminite maceral
Classification of Vitrinite maceral
Classification of Inertinite maceral
Introduction
. The new classification of macerals have been presented,
likewise based on extensive discussion and consultation
by an international group of experts.
. The huminite group is subdivided into three subgroups and six
macerals, the latter are subdivided in maceral types,
submacerals and maceral varieties
. The new system of subdivision of the vitrinite maceral group
differs based on following criteria:
- maceral group: defined by level of reflectance
- maceral subgroup:defined by degree of destruction
- maceral: defined by morphology and/or degree of
gelification
. The inertinite classification can be applied to the organic matter
of all coalification stages and the subdivision of the maceral
group is simpler since there are no sub groups

Occurences
Derived from
parenchymatous and
woody tissue, celluler
contents roots, stems,
barks and leaves composed
cellulosa , tannin and
lignin. Huminite occurs in
coal seam formed as a
result of anaerobic
preservation of
lignocelluloses material in
mire.

Occurence may see
Textinte and Ulminite
Practical
importance
Dependent on the
gelification degree,
detrohuminite-rich coal is
suitable for a range of
industrial processes, e.g
briquetting, coke

Term
Physical and
chemical
properties
Derivation and
occurences
Inertodetrinite has a variety of phytogenetic precursors all of which have been subject
to some degree of fusinitization: plant cel walls or their contents, phlobaphenes from
decomposed tissues, oxidized spores and constituent with fungal affinities. It is a
constituent of the microlithotypes trimacerite, vitrinertite and durite, where it occurs in
varying quantities, being especially abundant in some tenuidurites. Allochthonous
inertodetrinite may occur together with caly minerals, pyrite or alginite within
sediments.
Practical
importance
In coke produced from charges with a high content of high volatile bituminous coals,
inertodetrinite that is well integrated with the fused coke matrix increases the
mechanical strength of the coke. In general, its technical properties depend on the kind
of inertinite macerals from which it is derived.
