Title: Characterization of hydrolytically solubilized coal

Abstract

From the characterization of the hydrolytically solubilized coal with glycols the following observations can be made: (1) The polycyclic aromatic rings are being reduced. A possible mechanism is hydride transfer from the solvent. Also oxygen heteroaromatics are destroyed. (2) Arylalkyl ethers are being cleaved by this process. (3) The ability of the glycols to chelate the positive alkali metal ion could contribute to the enhanced yields of soluble coal compared to other protic solvents. This study demonstrated the utility of using a multi-pronged analytical and chemical approach to the study of non-volatile coal products. 5 figures, 3 tables.
