Coal-derived asphaltenes from five majordemonstration processes in the United States (Synthoil, HRI H-Coal, FMC-COED, PAMCO SRC, and Catalytic Inc. SRC) have been separated by a simple, rapid chromatographic procedure, on silica gel, into a limited number of acid/neutral and basic fractions which co

β¦ Synopsis
Coal-derived asphaltenes are complex aggregate organic materials. The high viscosity of asphaltenes has been attributed to organic (pyridine) base-organic (phenols) acid interaction. Reduction of asphaltene viscosity by selectively oxidizing with thallium(lll) salts was attempted. TI(III) treatment of Solvent Refined Coal (SIX) asphaltenes, derived from a Western Kentucky coal, resulted in smoothly converting ~66% of the phenolic compounds to quinones. Reduced viscosity of this product fraction was found. Of the remaining phenolic compounds x33% gave higher MW compounds with much higher viscosity. A model compound experiment using 2,6-dimethyl phenol and 2,6-lutidine shows that steric effects are important in the TI(I II) oxidation of phenols. Possible reaction pathways are discussed.
