The change in aromatic CH (3 030-2 950 cm(-1)) and aliphatic CH (2 920-2 850 cm(-1)) of raw and heated coals in the thermoplastic region was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It was confirmed that the aliphatic CH abundant in coals of high volatiles is closely related to the maximum fluidity of raw coals. The peak area ratio of aromatic CH to aliphatic CH (A(aroCH)/A(aliCH)) has close relationship with mean reflectance and aromaticity of raw coals. Aliphatic CH and aromatic CH decreased while A(aroCH)/A(aliCH) increased with increasing temperature in the thermoplastic range. However, the decomposition trend of each coal clearly showed different features. The coal of low fluidity consumed aliphatic hydrogen to release volatile even before entering thermoplastic region while the coal of high fluidity gradually consumed aliphatic hydrogen all through the thermoplastic region even though they have similar volatiles. The difference in decomposition trend of hydrocarbon resulted in different condensation pattern. In addition, according to the application of 2D correlation spectroscopy for analyzing the spectral change of each coal in thermoplastic region, the relations between R3CH and RCH3 (2 910 cm(-1), 2 958 cm(-1)) and between R2CH2 and RCH3 (2 923 cm(-1), 2 958 cm(-1)) were different. It was suggested that the coal properties was correlated with the different decomposition trend and fluidity.
