GELIFICATION [5 records]

Record 1 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
CONT

Two submacerals [of ulminite] can be differentiated on the basis of degree of gelification : 1) Texto-ulminite-cell lumens partly closed, cell-wall structure weakly visible, cell structure in tissues still easily recognizable.

OBS

See heading "ulminite" in COPET,S, 1971.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
DEF

Macéral caractérisé par des cellules partiellement closes, des parois structurales légèrement apparentes et des tissus à structure cellulaire reconnaissable.

OBS

Selon le dégré de gélification, on en distingue deux types : les texturo-ulminites et les eu-ulminites.

Record 2 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
DEF

... a maceral of the huminite group(subgroup-humodetrinite), which, as a result of gelification, comprises the finely detrital and more or less compressed humic "groundmass" of browncoals.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
DEF

Macéral appartenant au groupe huminite et au sous-groupe humodétrinite, qui correspond au «ciment» humique finement détritique des lignites plus ou moins compactés par gélification.

Record 3 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Classification of Coal
DEF

[A] coal [which] is characterized by a predominance(over 50 percent) of a groundmass(collinite) translucent in thin sections, resulting from complete decomposition in the process of gelification of the original plant material.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Classification des charbons
DEF

Charbon dont 50 % de la masse fondamentale est constituée de collinite transparente en lame mince, produite par la décomposition totale du matériel végétal originel au cours de la gélification.

Record 4 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
OBS

Two submacerals [of ulminite] can be differentiated on the basis of degree of gelification : 1) Texto-ulminite(...) 2) Eu-Ulminite : cell lumens completely closed, structure of the cell walls no longer visible cell structure in tissues only weakly visible, appearance as in telinite of hard coals.

OBS

See heading "ulminite" in COPET S 1971.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
OBS

Selon le degré de gélification, on distingue deux types de macéraux : les texto-ulminites et les eu-ulminites. Chez ces derniers, les cellules sont complètement closes, la structure des parois est invisible et l'organisation cellulaire des tissus est à peine reconnaissable, bien que son aspect rappelle celui de la télinite des houilles.

Record 5 1998-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining of Organic Materials
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
OBS

... of the microcomponents or the entire coal substance emphasizes its amorphous appearance caused by a severe decomposition of the plant material during gelification or gelefusainization or by coagulation of humic acids.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation de matières organiques (Mines)
  • Combustibles fossiles solides
OBS

Ce stade est essentiellement lié à une absence totale de structure résultant de la décomposition avancée de la matière végétale au cours de la gélification et de la gélifusinisation ou bien provient de l'effet coagulant des acides humiques.
