 Flow Microcalorimetric Study of Methanol Adsorption from n-Hexane on Coals
Two adsorption methods were used: continuous flow for measuring combined weak and strong adsorption, and pulse injection to distinguish strong adsorption.
Akabira bituminous coal and Yallourn brown coal, having different oxygen contents, were used as adsorbents.
Experimental results achieved by the continuous flow method show that both amount and heat of methanol adsorption (2 g of methanol/L in n-hexane) depends on the structure of coal.

 Structural Evaluation of Zao Zhuang Coal
The structure of Chinese bituminous Zao Zhuang coal was carefully evaluated on the basis of information from NMR, pyrolysis, ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation reaction (RICO), and single coal particle solvent swelling methods.
This coal and its SRC liquefaction fractions show good coking property so that the pyrolysis is accompanied by a lot of coke, this being less useful for its structural elucidation than the case of Japanese Akabira coal.
The pretreatment of this coal by the ether bond cleavage reaction can increase volatile-comprising molecules that when recognized provide valuable information on molecular constituents of the coal.
