This study investigates the hydrothermal treatment of Hokkaido peat to understand its artificial coalification process using FTIR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The objective is to examine the transformation of raw peat into a coal-like material through hydrothermal carbonization, an innovative technique that reduces costs by eliminating the need for pretreatment or drying of the peat. The methodology involved subjecting raw peat to high-pressure water treatment, which led to dewatering and decomposition of organic constituents, thereby facilitating peatification. The results indicated that the Takahashi peat, containing significant amounts of plant materials, underwent the least decomposition and exhibited early peatification. Furthermore, analyses revealed the composition of humic substances, plant constituents, and peat bitumen present in the moss peat. The findings contribute to understanding the potential of Hokkaido peat as an energy resource and the efficacy of hydrothermal treatment in replicating natural coalification processes.
