Abstract

The physico-chemical properties of liquids derived from Kentucky coals have been examined using size exclusion chromatography. Three major types of column packing for s.e.c. have been used in the H-coal liquid analysis: inorganic silica particles commonly known as controlled pore glass, soft polyvinylacetate gel and a rigid polystyrene-divinylbenzene gel. Of these, the PVA column appears to be a general and versatile choice for routine s.e.c. analysis of coal-derived liquids.

Absolute calibration of size exclusion chromatography for coal derivatives through MALDI-m.S
1998, Fuel
This paper reports the fractionation and subsequent examination of two, very different coal derived materials, a coal tar pitch and a commercial liquefaction extract. These were separated on the basis of their retention in a typical preparative size exclusion chromatography apparatus using THF as the eluent. Matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry, using the small molecules of the sample as matrix, has been used to examine the various fractions from preparative s.e.c. and the peak mass intensities have been used to define an absolute calibration of the s.e.c. separation. Limitations of the methods are discussed. The u.v.-fluorescence spectra of the fractions were recorded and trends in the spectra are described. The fractions were also analyzed by size exclusion chromatography employing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as the chromatographic eluent. The main advantages of this system over traditional solvents is the avoidance of surface adsorption effects observed with THF and the more complete solution of coal-derived material.
Characterization of catalytically hydrogenated and pyrolysis coal products. A comparative study of several analytical procedures
1986, Fuel Processing Technology
Liquids and residues obtained from coal by hydroliquefaction and pyrolysis are extremely complex mixtures. They consist mainly of saturated and aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons. O, S and N heterocycles and polar compounds are also present. Depending on the type of information desired for the sample (s), different separation, fractionation and identification schemes can be chosen. The methods described here were developed for a comparative study of samples obtained under various conditions of hydroliquefaction. Some of these methods were applied to tars and pitches of coal carbonization at low and high temperatures.
Compositional analysis of an H-Coal liquid by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-computer technique
1983, Journal of Chromatography A
The H-Coal atmospheric still overhead (ASO) liquid was subjected to preparative high-performance liquid chromatography on Porasil followed by gas chromatographic and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of the collected fractions, except for the forerun and column residue. Among the intermediate 5 fractions, there were 29 single compounds and 12 compound types identified. This analysis involved interpretation of 60 mass spectra aided by the PBM and STIRS computer search of the Cornell mass spectral data base. The identified compounds represent about half of the H-Coal liquid.
