One hundred and twelve coal samples have been added to the Penn State/ERDA Coal Sample Bank. One hundred and sixty-one sets of analytical data and 45 coal samples were provided upon request to other agencies engaged in coal research. Construction of the pressurized laminar flow isothermal reactor is complete and delivery has been made. Rapid heating of the precursor coal has been found to enhance char reactivity in the case of a North Dakota lignite. The differential scanning calorimetry technique has been used to determine the heat of chemisorption of oxygen on an activated Saran carbon.
