โฆ Synopsis
Low-ash vitrinite concentrates of representative South African coals have been prepared and analysed. Various properties when plotted against carbon content show inflections at 1% to 2% lower carbon content than normal British coals. These differences are ascribed to the heating effects of dolerite intrusions.
