This volume presents reviews of on-going research in the various areas of liquid fuel analysis and characterization, emphasizing the latest advances in specific analytical methodology and instrumentation. Twenty-one chapters examine structural characterization of solvent-refined coals, the chemistry and composition of petroleum asphaltenes, and chromatographic studies on oil sand bitumens. Other topics discuss organometallic complexes in domestic tar sands, electron microprobe studies of Green River and Devonian oil shale, the hydrotreating response of coal, shale, and petroleum liquids, and HPLC techniques for analysis of residual fractions. All papers have been abstracted and indexed for the Energy Data Base.
