Changes in the surface area of a Wyoming sub-bituminous coal with progressive extraction have been investigated. Surface areas were determined from CO, adsorption isotherms at 196 K using the BET equation with 9.234 nm2 for the molecular cross-sectional area of the CO, molecule at 196 K. Surface are

✦ Synopsis
The effects of reaction time, solvent and temperature on the internal surface area of coal during slurry-phase chlorination were experimentally studied. Areas established using nitrogen as the adsorbate were found to decrease sharply with reaction time, especially in the early stages of the chlorination. Reduction of the surface area decreased with increasing temperature and the effect was independent of the amount of chlorine taken up by the coal. The loss of porosity during chlorination of coal was attributed to swelling of the coal matrix because of the considerable uptake of chlorine.
