 | | Further, chemical modification methods are coupled with structural and spectroscopic measurements, such as synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy and scattering, solid- state NMR spectroscopy and imaging, laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, and small angle neutron scattering, to probe coal structure, in particular, the large molecular building blocks. |
 | | Chemical kinetics models based on elementary reaction rate parameters are being developed to describe the mechanisms in the plasma, on the surface, and at the plasma-surface interface where excited molecules, radicals, ions and electrons interact with adsorbates on the catalyst surface. |
 | | Chemical equilibria under study are ionization-ion association, metal complexation, metal ion hydrolysis, solubilities, volatilities, and adsorption reactions. |
