Separation and characterization of coal derived components: Final technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5788533
Several high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds and hydroxyl aromatics. Methods were then modified and applied to the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds, and hydroxyl aromatics in nondistillable Kentucky and Wyodak coal-liquid samples. Very good compound class separation was obtained for the various compound classes in the oils, asphaltenes, and chloroform-soluble preasphaltenes. Compound-classes were characterized by field-ionization mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, and elemental analysis. 29 refs., 13 figs., 18 tabs.
