Abstract
The interesting concern in this study is that in the same outcrop it was found 
that the first coal seam (coal seam-D) contains silicified coal and the second 
coal seam (coal seam-E) does not contain silicified coal and how to find out 
the cause. In general, the characteristics of silicified coal seam-D are in the 
form of lenses; the distribution extends from a few meters to several tens of 
meters with a thickness of three to five centimeters and some are in nodules. 
Environmental conditions are the main factor in the formation of silicified 
coal where the acidity level of coal bearing sediment seam-D which is be�tween 3.4 (roof sediment) to 4.2 (floor sediment) is higher than coal bearing 
sediment seam-E which has a pH of 5.4. This condition indicates that the coal 
bearing sediment seam-D environment is more acidic than coal seam-E. The 
results of XRD analysis show that the seam-D containing silicified coal has a 
composition of 47.47% kaolinite, 21.27% illite, 23.73% smectite and 17.54% 
mixed layer, while the seam-E which does not contain silicified coal has a 
composition of kaolinite 35.78%, illite 17.88%, smectite 21.59% and mixed 
layer 24.76%. Acidic environmental conditions (pH) and silica enrichment in 
clay minerals (kaolinite) in the roof sediments during sedimentation, accele�rated the process of deposition of colloidal silica in the wood structure of coal 
seams into silicified coal.
