Title: Basic properties of coals and other solids

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5004294· OSTI ID:5004294

Results are reported here for the heats of immersion of samples of polyvinylpyridine and the following coals: Exxon Rawhide, Argonne Wyodak, Illinois {number sign}6, Pittsburgh {number sign}8 in solutions of twelve sulfonic and carboxylic acids and boron trichloride. Heats of immersion in the different types of acids vary considerably from one solid system to another and the simple solid base polyvinylpyridine is a poor model for the more complex coals. The coals show varying degrees of correlation with each other. An important feature of the second half of the year has been an extensive comparison of titrametric heats of reaction of the different acids with several coal liquids and the coals from which they were derived. 16 figs., 1 tab.
