A new GC-Pyrolysis-IRMS method was developed for the δ13C determination of carboxyl carbon in low-molecular weight organic acids. By utilizing a palladium-wire reactor at 600<space>°C with a helium/hydrogen reactant gas, ...

Low-molecular-weight (LMW) aqueous organic acids were generated from six oil-prone source rocks under hydrous-pyrolysis conditions. Differences in total organic carbon-normalized acid generation are a function of the initial ...
