Abstract
The sulfur found in coal stems in large part from sulfur incorporation at the peat-forming stage. Ester sulfate (a carbon-oxygen-sulfur linkage) is a major contributor to the sulfur in peat and thus is an important determiner of the quantity and forms of sulfur eventually found in coal.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
