In particular, analytical pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to gain detailed molecular information on the organic structures. Pyrolysis in the presence of a methylating agent (tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide, TMAH) was used to characterize polar moieties. We employed non-destructive techniques, XANES and XPS, to investigate the composition of the sulfur functionalities (such as sulfide, polysulfide, thiophene, sulfoxide, sulfonate and sulfate). The combination of these different approaches allows a more complete understanding of the organic sulfur structures in the leonardite coal. In agreement with previous studies, our results show that oxidized sulfur functionalities, such as sulfonate and sulfate, represent the major forms of sulfur in leonardite coal.The Financial support of Spanish contract PB97-0682 and US Department of Energy support through the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Geosciences Program to the Brookhaven National Laboratory (Contract no.
