✦ Synopsis
The technique of steaming coal for long periods at temperatures up to 600°C. collecting the total products made up to a particular temperature, and also, in a separate series of experiments, stepwise between temperatures within this range, has enabled a fuller study to be made of the sequence of emergence of molecules, of their relations to each other and to the original coal, and of the geochemical significance of the hydrocarbons. A total of at least 53% of hydrocarbons (on d.a.f. coal basis) was estimated to be present in the original coal.
