โฆ Synopsis
A high-volatile bituminous coal possessing a high Gieseler fluidity and large dilatation was subjected to slight oxidation in air under chosen conditions. The resultant 'oxycoal'was treated with various chemical reagents in order to determine to what extent the original caking properties of this coal, as measured by Gieseler fluidity and dilatation, could be restored. Treatment with aqueous barium hydroxide or barium acetate solutions succeeded in doing so to a considerable degree. tt is tentatively concluded that certain acidic hydroxyl groups formed in the course of oxidation are indirectly responsible for the deterioration of fluidity and dilatation -possibly via condensation reactions involving the hydroxyl groups -during subsequent pyrolysis of oxycoal. The presence of carboxyl groups appears to have no effect,
