Thermal reaction studies of organic model compound-mineral matter interactions in solids
The solid-state chemistry of silica-immobilized phenethyl phenyl ethers is being investigated in the presence of interdispersed aluininosilicates at temperatures relevant to coal processing to gain a better understanding of the impact of mineral matter on pyrolysis and liquefaction mechanisms. Results demonstrate the dramatic effect that aluminosilicates can have in altering the normal thermal reaction pathways for these models of ether linkages in lignin and low rank coals. An investigation of the chemistry of these model compounds at low temperatures (ca. 150-200{degrees}C) in the presence of aluminosilicates, including montmorillonite, is currently being investigated to delineate the chemical transformations that can occur during lignin maturation.
