A low-mature coal (Ro=0.4%, from the Manjiaer depression, Tarim Basin, China) was subjected to closed system pyrolysis, in sealed gold tubes, under isothermal temperature conditions. The carbon isotopic compositions of the pyrolyst fractions (hydrocarbon, CO2, CO, etc.) at two temperature points (350°C and 550°C) were measured. The results showed that δ13CCH4 value is generally heavier at 350°C than that at 550°C, because the high abundance of CO generated at low temperature would greatly influence δ13CCH4 value, and the retention time of CO in gas chromatograph is close to that of CH4. But CO is formed through chemical reaction of the oxygen-containing functional group C=O, e.g. Lactones, ketones, ether, etc. At low temperature, while CO2 comes mainly from zecarboxylization.The carbon isotopic composition of coal gas from Lanzhou Coal Gas Works was definitely different from that of thermally pyrolysed products from coal. Theδ13CCH4 value of coal gas was abnormally heavier than δ13CCO. At the same time, the reversed sequence (δ13C-1＞δ13C-2) of δ13C1 and δ13C2 happened. The bond energy of free ions generally decides the sequence of generation of hydrocarbon fractions according to the chemical structure, whereas the stability of pyrolysate fractions and their carbon isotope fractionation are affected by the C-C bond energy.
