Nuclear magnetic resonance studies on coals, coal-conversion products, and coal-conversion catalysts. Final technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5878695
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments have been carried out on several sets of samples submitted by the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center. Most of these experiments were /sup 13/C cross polarization (CP) experiments. These measurements were all carried out at 15.1 MHz, using the following spectrometers: a home-built system based on a Varian 12-in electromagnet, with a Nicolet 1180 data system, and a home-modified JEOL-FX-600 spectrometer. The two spectrometers gave consistent results and approximately equal levels of performance (e.g., signal-to-noise ratios). CP/MAS /sup 13/C spectra of all of the samples studied are collected in this report. All of them were obtained using 1-ms contact times. In addition, some /sup 29/Si MAS spectra were obtained on zeolite samples. These spectra were obtained at 39.7 MHz on a modified wide-bore Nicolet NT-200 spectrometer with a home-built MAS probe. In preparing this final report, we have standardized the partitioning of the /sup 13/C CP/MAS spectra into two alternate schemes. In one scheme the spectrum is divided arbitrarily into an aliphatic region (95 ppM to -10 ppM) and an aromatic region (the remainder of the spectrum, including spinning sidebands. This partitioning gives the f'/sub a/ values (apparent aromatic fraction) reported in the tables. 37 figures, 4 tables.
