The number of alkyl groups added to the macerals of PSOC-828 coal in the O-alkylation procedure has been calculated. Exinites and vitrinites are alkylated to nearly the same degree while less alkyl groups are added to inertinites. Sink-float procedures on two hvA bituminous coals have yielded large quantities of pure exinite fractions. Alkylation in presence of a phase transfer catalyst was carried out for various rank coals. The solubility of the coals before and after alkylation was determined using pyridine as the solvent. Elemental analysis for the various reaction products of PSOC-1197 and Texas lignite were obtained. Aromaticity and acidity determinations of the reduction products of PSOC-1197 and Texas lignite was also carried out. The solubility of the alkylation product reaches a maximum for the hvab coal with about 88% carbon. 27 references, 5 figures, 9 tables.
