Title: Gas evolution from coal in sealed glass ampoules

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10177662

Higher rank coals evolve methane, and lower rank coals evolve carbon dioxide with some evolution of both gases for the intermediate ranks. The evolution proceeds over time of years for pulverized coals in sealed ampoules. Gas concentrations are higher above {minus}20 mesh samples than above {minus}100 mesh material. Carbon monoxide is not evolved. The Wyodak sample evolves carbon dioxide approximately linearly with time. The gas evolution sample evolves carbon dioxide approximately linearly with time. The gas evolution seems to be associated with evolution of dissovled species.
