Molecular and Colloidal Structure of Coal Asphaltenes and Other Heavy Solvent Soluble Components

  • Chapter
Structures and Dynamics of Asphaltenes

Abstract

Coal is a complex organic substance in which aromatic and heteroaromatic rings with hydroxyl and alkyl groups are connected through the bonds such as methylene and ether, and naphthene rings. Coal has a wide range of chemical compositions and properties, and ASTM classification widely used defines anthracite, low, medium, and high-volatile bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, and lignite, according to their heating value, volatile matter and fixed carbon content. The carbon% of coal, expressed as dry and mineral matter free basis, is in the range of about 65–95% and increases with coal rank, i.e., from lignite to anthracite, with the accompanying decrease of oxygen and hydrogen %. Coal also generally includes a small percentage of minerals that can be removed by acid washing.
