In order to reveal the characteristics and geological significance of the main micronutrient geochemistry in the Carbonifer- ous-Permian Taiyuan Formation in Ningdong coalfield which deposited in marine-land transition coal-accumulating environment, the X- ray fluorescence( XRF) spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry( ICP-MS) , macerals identification and industrial analysis were used to study the source, occurrence and environmental significance of trace elements in coals. The results show that the content of major and trace elements in Carboniferous coals of Ningdong coalfield are varies greatly, except the Fe2 O3 content is lower than the mean content of China coals. The Rb(5. 1) is enriched in Weierkuang while other elements are slightly enriched in different micronutrient. The major and trace elements in coal are mainly occurs in clay minerals, and come from the supply of terrigenous clasts and the combination with organic matter and authigenic minerals in water-soluble state and ion state. The ratio of TiO2 / Al2 O3 indicate that the minerals in the coal are mainly derived from felsic clastic rocks, and the positive correlation between CaO and MgO indicates that they coexist in the form of dolomite. The ratio of Sr / Cu and CaO / ( MgO·Al2 O3 ) and the other parameters indicate the coal-accu- mulating period is in a warm and humid environment, it is inferred that the temperature is between 15 ℃ and 30 ℃ , the ratio of Sr / Ba indicates that the coal-forming marsh is a brackish water environment, which indicates that it is affected by seawater. The parameters of Cu / Zn, V / ( V + Ni) , Ni / Co and V / Cr revealed that the peat-formed bog was in an anaerobic redox environment.
