To understand more fully the mode of preservation of organic matter in marine sediments, laboratory sulfurisation of intact cells of the cultured microalga Nannochloropsis salina was performed using inorganic polysulfides in seawater at 50°C. Solvent extractable and non-extractable materials were analysed by GC–MS and Py–GC–MS, respectively, to study the incorporation of sulfur into the microalgal organic matter. No GC-amenable sulfur-containing compounds were found in the extracts apart from some minor thiophenes with a phytanyl carbon skeleton. The residue after extraction and hydrolysis contained abundant macromolecular sulfur-containing moieties as revealed by the presence of dominant C₂₈–C₃₂ thiols, thiophenes, thianes and thiolanes in the flash pyrolysates. These products are thought to be formed from moieties derived from sulfurisation of C₂₈–C₃₂ diols and alkenols, characteristic lipids of N. salina. C₁–C₂ alkylated thiophenes were also found in the pyrolysates and probably result from moieties formed upon sulfurisation of carbohydrates. The highly resistant biomacromolecule (algaenan) synthesised by N. salina remains unaffected by sulfurisation. The non-hydrolysable residue isolated from the sulfurised N. salina thus comprises algaenan and (poly)sulfide-bound long alkyl chains. The sulfurisation experiments show that both selective preservation of algaenans and lipid and carbohydrate “vulcanisation” can be involved in the preservation of algal organic matter in marine environments.  相似文献

3D chemical model for geological macromolecules     

J.L. Faulon  M. Vandenbroucke  J.M. Drappier  F. Behar  M. Romero 《Organic Geochemistry》1990,16(4-6)

This study defines a chemical representation of the kerogen macromolecule based on data from physicochemical analyses. The model should permit: creation of various schematic drawings representing an average macromolecule; future integration of new analytical results (for instance on structures of biomarkers or biopolymers); and determination of the distribution of chemical bonds.The models developed in this study can be represented in a 3D space, using classical chemical symbols, in the form of cyclic groups linked to each other by aliphatic chains. One cyclic group is a connected set of aromatic, naphthenoaromatic or naphthenic rings. These cyclic groups are constructed using basic elements such as atoms and bonds defined by their length and direction.Modeling of kerogen is done in three successive steps. A library is first created to define atoms, bonds and cyclic groups. Secondly, starting from a set of equations describing the analytical results, cyclic and aliphatic groups are chosen in the appropriate stoechiometric amount to match the analytical data. Finally the construction is done: cyclic groups are placed randomly in a 3D space, connections are made by aliphatic chains, and functional groups are added.The molecular modeling software Xmol^TM can be operated on APOLLO stations. It allows the creation of libraries, the calculation of chemical bonds corresponding to the analyses and the construction of macromolecules. An example is given for a type III kerogen at the beginning of diagenesis.  相似文献   

ESR assessment of kerogen maturation and its relation with petroleum genesis     

M. Y. Bakr  M. Akiyama  Y. Sanada 《Organic Geochemistry》1990,15(6)

Petroleum hydrocarbons are formed by breakdown of kerogen preserved in source rocks throughout the process of catagenesis. This process is accompanied by free radical generation in kerogen. The availability of measuring free radicals in kerogen using ESR to deduce a maturation estimation of potential source rocks has been hindered due to the presence of the solvent-extractable organic molecules (SEOM) trapped within the kerogen matrix. Spin concentration (Ns) of the kerogen treated with pyridine (K_Py) represents the paramagnetic centers of the kerogen matrix itself and provides a potential parameter to evaluate kerogen maturation.  相似文献   

Thermal depolymerization of kerogen and formation of immature oil     

Qin Kuangzong 《Organic Geochemistry》1988,13(4-6)

Two Chinese immature oil shales from the continental deposits of kerogen type I and II have been thermally treated combined with the technique of supercritical fluid extraction at 630–650 K and 15–25 MPa in a semi-continuous laboratory scale apparatus. Toluence is selected as the solvent. Up to 70–80% of the kerogen matrix can be converted to a thermal bitumen and extracted simultaneously. The chemical structural parameters from the NMR, IR, XRD, ESR and EA analyses of the kerogen and the thermal bitumen show striking resemblance in nature. It implies that the thermal bitumen is primarily a depolymerized product of the kerogen. Based on the GC/MS spectra of the aliphatic eluate of the thermal bitumen, the predominance of the odd/even ratio of the alkanes and the epimeric ratios, such as 20S(20S + 20R) of C-29 steranes and 22S/(22S + 22R) of C-32 terpanes, show that the maturity of the thermal bitumen from these oil shales is comparable to that of commercial immature oils from East China. The thermal bitumen is thought to be an intermediate product of the thermal degradation of kerogen.Since the thermal bitumen is mainly composed of asphaltenes and resins, it has a structure of gel. The gel-state bitumen may turn to sol-state readily due to its low aromaticity and polarity, or due to selective adsorption of asphaltenes by clay minerals. Then the migration potential of the bitumen is enhanced.Consequently, under favorable geological conditions, the thermal depolymerization of kerogen seems to be a probable mechanism to explain the formation of immature oils.  相似文献   

The control of maturity and kerogen type on quantitative analytical pyrolysis data     

Kjell ygard  Steve Larter  Joe Senftle 《Organic Geochemistry》1988,13(4-6)

Quantitative pyrolysis-gas chromatography has been performed on 96 kerogen samples isolated from 17 wells on the Norwegian Continental shelf. Petrographic and bulk geochemical measurements were also performed on the samples, and a combined data set of 117 variables for each sample was analysed using principal components analysis (PCA). This approach provides an objective and reproducible means of kerogen characterisation, which can be easily automated. In addition to objective kerogen characterisation and facile visualisation of facies and maturity related chemical trends, the method has the potential to allow objective prediction of key geochemical parameters such as maturity level from pyrogram data.  相似文献

Effect of maturity on carbon isotope ratios of oils and condensates     

C.J. Clayton 《Organic Geochemistry》1991,17(6)

For modelling isotopic variations in oils it is convenient to differentiate the effects of oil generation ( 100–150°C) from the effects of oil to gas cracking ( 150–180°C). During generation, δ¹³C of kerogen may increase by up to 1% due to release of isotopically light oil and gas, although most kerogens show little or no chan δ¹³C of the generated oil increases by between 0 and 1% (av. 0.5%) due to mixing of isotopically heavy oil with an initial isotopically light unbound fraction, possibly of bacterial origin. The change occurs mostly over the first 20% of generation. During oil to gas cracking, kinetic isotope effects become important and the effect on δ¹³C of the remaining oil can be modelled as a Rayleigh process. δ¹³C increases by 1.5% by 50% cracking. Insufficient data are available to calibrate the effects at higher levels of cracking, and modelling these variations is hindered by a lack of understanding of the mechanism of pyrobitumen formation. However, increases greater than about 4% are unlikely to be observed. With increasing maturity, the low molecular weight fractions become isotopically heavy faster than the high molecular weight fractions. As a result, any separation of the low molecular weight fraction into a gas phase (“condensate formation”) will produce an isotopic difference between oil and condensate that depends on maturity. In the early stages of generation the condensate may be up to 1% lighter than the remaining oil. With increasing maturity, this difference at first decreases and then increases in the opposite sense. By half way through oil to gas cracking the condensate may be 1.5% heavier than the residual liquid. More subtle rearrangement reactions may result in small, but significant, changes to the shape of the isotope “type-curves” when different oil fractions are compared.  相似文献
