Proximate analysis of New Zealand snd Australian coals by thermogravlmetry Beamish, B. B. N.Z. J. GeoL Geophys., 1994, 37, (4). 387-392. Describes a technique which has been developed at the University of Auckland for roximate analysis of coals by therm0 ravimetry using sample weights oP ~20 mg. Samples from three New #e aland coalfields and the Bowen Basin of Queensland, Australia, have been analyzed. Coals tested ran e in rank from subbituminous to semianthracite, and have ash contents ! rom 3.1 lo 21.4% on a dry basis. Results obtained using the technique are within acceptable precision limits of the standard procedure. 95104437
95104438 Selective electrochemical oxldatlon of coal In aqueous alkaline electrolyte Soonho, A. et al., J. Electrochem. Sot., 1995. 142, (3), 782-787. The selective electrochemical oxidation of coal at room temperature in an at 1.0 V showed little or no oxygen production. Electrode alkaline slu activities an7 selectivities toward coal oxidation and oxygen evolution were determined by monitoring and analyzing anodic and cathodic gas products. The activities of Pt and various NI (electrode) surfaces were compared. Slberlan sapropellc coal: A unique type of worka&&ev, S. J. GemmoL, 1995, 24. (5). 349-353. Discusses the composition and workable properteis of sapropelic coal from Eastern Siberia and referred lo as ‘jet’. In the 193Os, for about ten years, a jet industry existed in the USSR aimed at the production of consumer and industrial goods from Siberian sapropelic coal. Interest in certain types of jet for the manufacture of artifacts has now reawakened. 95104440 Study of petrographic structure of coal components and their p)irldlnie extrictlon products Machnikowska.

Temperature-coallflcatlon aspects on gas dlstrlbutlon In the deposlt of the Upper Slleslan Coal Basln Tarnowski, J. and Zawierucha, M. PrzegL Gem., 1994.50. (7), 17-24. (In Polish) Reports that the study of 480 drill cores has led to a conclusion that maximum number of occurrences of methane gas was related to the range of temperatures from 35 to 45’C and volatilti wntents from 30 to 35s(dry ash-free basis). Depth zones corresponding to these wnditions overlapped in more than 90% of cases. 95lQ4444

Beneflclatlon of coal-heavy oil coprocesslng resl95104451 due bv Oil-DhaSe aaalomeratlon Majid,x ei aL, FucL-Jul. 1995, 74, (7)! 1036-1041. Surface characterization techni ues (scanmng electron microscopy, and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy1 were used to examine toluene-insoluble s&s from coproc&ng of &I and heavy oil in order to evaluate their physical separation potential. Washability studies, using float-sink tests, were also carried out to provide an empirical estimate of the ash separation attainable. On the basis of the results, agglomeration tesb were performed io an attempt to optimize the beneficiahon of the organic matter in the residue pitch. Ash rejection in these. tests ranged from 30 to 40%. Analysis of the ash from the a@omeration and reject fractions suggested thatmost of the irons was retamed in the agglomerates.
