Title: Thermochemical comparison of Argonne premium coal samples with model solid acids

Conference · · Prepr. Pap., Am. Chem. Soc., Div. Fuel Chem.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5932226

This presentation is a summary of results acquired over the last five years using the heats of interaction of a series of bases with various solid acids as a means for classifying them. A sulfonic acid resin provides a solid model for Broensted acidity. Silica is a model solid for hydrogen bonding interactions and several grades of graphitized carbon black are an excellent model for van der Waals/dispersion force interactions. Heats of interaction of the series of bases with several types of Argonne premium coals compared with those for the model solids and serve as a means for coal classification.
