## Letters to the Editor The contact angles of brown coals are plotted with their oxygen content in Figure 2, where a fair rectilinear relation is observed. The two kinds of coals can bc classified on the basis of their atomic ratio O/C. The higher value of O/C > 0.15 of brown coal may imply a hig

โฆ Synopsis
A detailed chemical study has been made on a suite of 27 Australian coals of varying rank. The coals had a wide range of H/C values and, in addition to chemical analysis, were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 13C solid state n.m.r. The coals were reacted with hydrogen in tetralin at 405'C and in decalin under nitrogen at 32O'C. The products of these reactions were examined by a variety of spectroscopic and other analytical techniques. On the basis of the results it is proposed that brown coals consist of a polymeric lignin-based structure which traps varying amounts of smaller, more aliphatic, molecules. Black coals have more complex structures.

Victorian brown coal has been pretreated with a wide range of additives and treated coals reacted with hydrogen, with carbon monoxide, and with synthesis gas (Hz +CO). Reactions were carried out both in the presence and in the absence of water. The promoters which are active in dry hydrogenation rea
