Abstract

Samples have been taken systematically from a sequence of immature lignite deposited as a large reserve in Elbistan (37° 48′ N 37° 51′E) 1.5–2 m.y. ago during the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition. The lignite has a high volatile content of 60–70% and a huminite reflectance of 0.27 ± 0.03.

Supercritical toluene extraction of a reduced Turkish lignite
1996, Fuel Processing Technology
Elbistan-Afsin lignite, 64.2% C (daf), was reduced with lithium in THF in the presence of purified naphthalene as an electron transfer agent. The reduced lignite was then extracted with supercritical toluene. Even under comparatively mild conditions, 340°C, relatively large yields of supercritical extract were obtained, almost all of which dissolved in benzene. The n-pentane-soluble and benzene-soluble fractions of the extract were eluted using column chromatography. Less than half of the originally soluble material could be eluted with n-pentane or benzene, the total methanol eluates amounting to 56.1% of the initial extract. The eluates were analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The amount of phenol was 23.6% of the original benzene soluble fraction. It was concluded that bond cleavage had taken place during the reduction of the lignite. The naphthalene used as an electron transfer agent participated in side reactions.
