The mechanism of a process for removal of water as liquid from soft brown coals has been investigated. Coals were heated in water under pressure to temperatures of 150 to 300ยฐC, and the yields of dry coal, water, organic functional groups and inorganics in the product were measured. The earlier conc

โฆ Synopsis
The vacuum desorption of water from brown coal has been investigated at temperatures from 30ยฐC to 120ยฐC. The amount of water which can be desorbed after prolonged evacuation to a constant weight increases with increasing temperature, and is accompanied by the evolution of carbon dioxide at temperatures above 60ยฐC. These effects are attributed to the thermal decomposition of functional groups in the coal. The relevance of these findings to the interpretation of moisture isotherms and analytical moisture determinations is discussed.

Victorian brown coal has been pretreated with a wide range of additives and treated coals reacted with hydrogen, with carbon monoxide, and with synthesis gas (Hz +CO). Reactions were carried out both in the presence and in the absence of water. The promoters which are active in dry hydrogenation rea
The water associated with a previously air-dried Yallourn brown coal has been studied using nuclear magnetic resonance pulse methods. The intensity and the spin-spin relaxation of the magnetic resonance of the water protons of specimens containing a range of water contents were measured during temp
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance ('H n.m.r.) has been used to measure changes in the water-binding capacity of bed-moist brown coal lithotypes subjected to heat treatment. A rapid reduction in the coalwater interaction was found to occur at treatment temperatures > 420K. A Pale lithotype was found
