The mechanism of coal formation is revealed
Scientists from the United States have discovered microbes involved in the formation of coal which emit methane. The article devoted to the mechanism of coal formation was published in the journal Science. Coal is formed when plant matter in swampy forests falls into water and is quickly buried. Organic matter becomes peat, then lignite, then brown coal, then bituminous coal, and finally anthracite, the richest in carbon. Carbonization converts methoxyl groups (made up of carbon, oxygen, and three hydrogen atoms) to methane, but how this happens has remained undisclosed.
