Peat and coal are selected to do simulation experiment in order to understand characteristics of hydrocarbon generation from coal.According to GC-MS analysis for soluble organic matters extracted from simulated products of peat and coal in closed system pyrolysis,the abundance of steranes in the saturated hydrocarbon fractions with the maximum intensities of C29-regular steranes is observed,reflecting that the terrestrial higher plants are main parent materials.The relative content of C29-regular steranes decreases with simulated temperature increase,and become little variation,suggesting that the thermal maturity should be considered when the relative content of regular steranes is used to identify source material.C29 sterane-20S/(20S+20R) and C29 sterane-C29ββ/(ββ+αα) is a selected parameter for identifying the mature or immature organic matter.∑diasteranes/∑regular-sterane is also a maturity parameter.The experimental results show that the simulation curve of peat and coal is different at low mature stage,and become similar at high mature stage.So,it is meaningful to understand the hydrocarbon generation from peat to coal by contrast simulated experiment.
