โฆ Synopsis
The identification and quantification of the nitrogen functions in coal and coal-derived liquids is important for the development of coal liquid-fuel processing technologies. This paper reports a method that provides a self-consistent analysis of nitrogen functionality in both solid coal and coal liquids. It involves the use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), combined with potentiometric titration and i.r. spectroscopy, to provide an analysis of pyrrole-and pyridine-type functionality. The study has led to a revised value for the extinction coefficient of the N-H stretching i.r. absorption for coal-derived asphaltenes.

In order to improve combustion efficiency and to reduce pollutant emissions, it is necessary to be able to describe all the stages of combustion of pulverized fuel. In this paper details are outlined on ways in which this can be achieved and particular attention is given to the case of coming coal w
