The Wulantuga (Inner Mongolia) and Lincang (Yunnan Province) germanium ore deposits in China are both considered world-class, coal-hosted Ge deposits. For this paper, two bench coals (WLTG C6-2 from Wulantuga and LC S3-6 from Lincang) were selected to characterize the associations between density fractions (maceral concentrates) and trace elements using micronization, density-gradient centrifugation (DGC), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), especially for the abnormally enriched trace elements (including Ge, W, As, Sb, Be, U, and Nb) and rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) in the Wulantuga and/or Lincang high-Ge coals that are widely considered to have varying degrees of organic affinity. Huminite and inertinite contents of WLTG C6-2 account for 58.4% and 40.7%, respectively, whereas LC S3-6 is dominated by huminite (98.7%). Lower peak densities for huminite/inertinite and Gaussian distributions of DGC profiles after HCl-HF demineralization suggest that some minerals still exist ...
