It has been found that the swellability of coals in specificnlly interacting solvents is a stron function of the electron-donating capacity of the solvents. as meaSlid by two very different scales. The two scales are seen to be closely related. The swelling also correlates with the heat of immersion of coals in solvents, and thus it appears that it is the enthalpy of interaction of specifitally interactin solvents with surface functionalities in coal that mainly determines swef hng . behaviour. 95/01135 Coallflcatlon of llgnln to form vltrlnlte: A new structural template baaed on an bllcal structure Hatcher, P.

The iaper &sc&.G the transformationof coalified wood form lignite through the subbituminousrank ran e to high volatile C rank bituminous coal and is characterized by trans!ormations which result in complete demethylationof methoxyphenols to catechols and a subsequent reduction of the catechol-like structure, presumably through reaction, to form phenollike structures. The focus of the paper is to review the authors’ current understanding of the evidence for these afore mentioned chemical transformations.
