Air Oxidation Of A Soluble Coal Extract, Douglas Kimbler
Air Oxidation Of A Soluble Coal Extract, Douglas Kimbler
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The effects of air oxidation on coal may change many important attributes of the coal such as calorific values, solubilities and solvent swelling values. By studying the effects of air oxidation on the soluble portion of coal, we were able to study coal oxidation in a new light.

Plasticity, which typically develops at 380-420°C, is a unique property of mid-ranked coals. The phenomenon of plasticity in coals has been known for a long time but is still poorly understood. Even among coals of identical subrank and chemical composition, large differences in plastic behavior are commonly encountered. Plastic coals go through a softening and swelling state upon heating before they resolidify. Concurrent with the plastic state of the coal, thermal decomposition of the coal takes place.
The coking ability of a coal can be directly related to the plasticity of the coal. In liquefaction reactions, plastic coals tend to …
