Infrared spectra of coals in different ranks have been measured, as described in the previous paper, by the KBr technique as quantitatively as possible. The specific extinction coefficients, K (l/g·cm), at 1, 600, 1, 450, 1, 380, 1, 260, 870, 820 and 750cm^-1 were calculated and their relations with the elementary composition were discussed.
1. Base-line
Three methods that could be taken up in the technical means were examined; in A method the maximum value of transmission at near 1, 850cm^-1 was taken as the base; in B method the base-line according to R.A . Friedel, and in C method the line between the shoulder at near 1, 800cm^-1 and that at near 700cm^-1 was used respectively . For the absorption band at 1, 380cm^-1, however, the base-line according to R .A. Friedel was used.
For each absorption band between 1, 600cm^-1 and 900cm^-1 the corresponding K values calculated by above mentioned methods are quite near, but for the absorption bands under 900cm^-1 K values obtained by A method namely differ from that by other two methods.
2. Absorption band at 1, 600cm^-1The assignment of the absorption band near 1, 600cm^-1 is still undefinite at present, but in general the band have been assumed to be due to hydrogen bonded carbonyl groups as well as aromatic C=C structures . When K values of the band are plotted against the carbon content of coal, a straight line is formed which declines toward high carbons. On the other hand, a straight line declines toward low oxygens when the relations between oxygen content of coal and K is considered.
3. Absorption bands at 1, 450 and 1, 380cm^-1
These absorption bands at 1, 450 and 1, 380cm^-1 are assignd to aliphatic and hydroaromatic CH hydrogen. The K value at 1, 450cm^-1 decreases gradually as the carbon content of coal increases. So far as Japanese coals are regarded, the K value at 1, 380cm^-1 increases with increasing carbon content until Yabari coal (86 .2% C), and then decreases beyond this point.
4. Absorption band at 1, 260cm^-1The K value at 1, 260cm^-1 which is assigned to phenolic C-O- and aromatic ether decreases nearly linearly with increasing carbon content of coal or with decreasing oxygen content.
5. Absorption bands at 870, 820 and 750cm^-1These absorption bands at 870, 820 and 750cm^-1 have been assumed to be due to out-of-plane CH vibration in benzene and condensed aromatic ring system. The K values calculated according to B and C methods increase with increasing coal rank, especially the K value at 750cm^-1 increases rapidly beyond Moura coal (87.6% C).
