Abstract:
The chemical structural characterization of four samples (M-1, M-5, VS, and BaS) from Southern China was studied by Raman spectroscopy with curve-fitting analysis. Several Raman parameters, e.g., full width at half maximum (FWHM) and intensity ratio (ID1/IG), were obtained. Vitrinite (VS) and barkinite (BaS) were separated from the same coal sample, separately. The results showed that nine bands were assigned from the Raman spectra. Two typical bands, G and D1, have broad peaks, which showed that all the samples have poor order in chemical structure. Barkinite has higher disorder in chemical structure than vitrinite.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
