Korda, A; Larsen, J W

The objectives of this work are: (1) to measure the kinetics of the conversion of coals to soluble products under model liquefaction conditions using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) techniques to count the number of bonds broken; and (2) to analyze these data using kinetic schemes based on the behaviour of crosslinked macromolecular networks. The effects of additives catechol, resorcinol, anthracene, phenanthrene, and hydroquinone are discussed. 7 refs., 2 tabs
