S. et aL, HwahukKong/& 1994, 32, (3), 300-307. (In Korean) The leachants of fly ash arc hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and water. The heavy oil fiy ash contains e high concentration of Ni, V, Ga, ctc; the leeching solution from coal fly ash has smaller contents of soluble metal ions than the heavy oil fiy ash. Before the recovery, the adsorption or ion exchange method was used as pretreatment. For an efficient leaching, two steps were taken to prevent any disturbances from other metal ions. %I91429 Ssparatlon of components In coal tar wlth crntrlfugs Sakurai, Y. et aL, (Assigned to) Nippon Steel Corp., JAP.

SopsratIon of fullorsnos by chromatography on lnukai,Y. et al., Fuel, Jan. 1995, 74, (l), 83-87. A crude mixutre of C and C, fullerenes was chromatogrephcd on coals of rank var@g from f rown coal to ‘pseudo’ semianthracite to determine their capability as a separation medium for purifying C fullcrene. Considerable variation in separation performance was found%ctween the coals. Treatment of all these coals with te.trahvdrofuran imorovcd their subsequent rformancc, probably owing to s&lling of the’c&re.s<ing in a more p” avoureble pore structure. No correlation was observed between separation performa& and carbon arometicity as measured by n.m.r. Co& which are expected to have a high porosity in the transitional (mesopre) range (250 nm) a pear to perform best, probably because this pore slzc is appropriate for fuPlcrene separation.
