β¦ Synopsis
Certain high-sulphur-containing, high-volatile bituminous (hvb) coals have been converted into products which are almost completely soluble in chloroform. These products were obtained by a series of reactions involving initial oxidation with 2N nitric acid, depolymerization with boron trifluoride-phenol, and acetylation. Solubility of the depolymerized coal decreased sharply when the nitric acid reaction was eliminated or was replaced with a hydrochloric acid treatment. The extent of oxidation by the nitric acid treatment is discussed. Also included in this investigation are a low-sulphur-containing hvb coal and a low-volatile bituminous coal. After depolymerization, the solubilities of these two coals in chloroform were comparatively low.

Solvent-induced swelling has been used to characterize the macromolecular nature of bituminous coal. It is necessary to prove the reversibility of coal swelling in order to apply the statistical theory of rubber elasticity. Although such reversibility has been reported, there is little reliable evid
