TttE limited availability or complete absence of petroleum and gas in some countries of the world and the concurrent increase in their cost and increased "demand uP0n ' energy resources resulted in research into methods converting coal t o cnglne fuels. 'Study of the chemical structure of coal will thus complement the development Of new methods for the chemical processing of coal, liquid products. Although studies in this field l~ave continued for many years there remain a number of problems which are still unexplained [I]. Recent 9 have indicated the chemical structure of coal to consist of two main elements: a macromolecular three-dimensional network with molecular compounds 9 .the pores of this network [2]. Coal extracts containing the molecular components of coal were obtained and examined in the Institute of Petroleum and Coal of the Polish Academy of Sciences [3]. Investigations. suggest that the proportion of organic matter extracted from coal at room temperature and at ambient pressure reaches 30 wt. ~o. The extracted material consists of compounds with molecular weights below 800 [4]. The donoracceptor electron bond of molecular components with macromolecular network of coal forms the basis ofthe-chenaical structural model of coal developed [3]. Investigation of the hydrocarbon components of coal are dealt with in this paper.

The qualitative composition of the aromatic hydrocarbon fraction was determined by high resolution MS. Varian MATTll mass-spectrometer, direct introduction of sample at temperatures from ambient to 250~ Spectra were recorded twice*; once with a resolution of about 15,000 at 70 eV, to dete/'mine accurate masses, and once 'at lo~v resolution at 13 eV to determine the approximate content of components with molecular ions of the highest intensity.

condensed aromatic rings in the molecule and the maximum number of saturated carbon atoms forming alk2r or naphthene-alkyl chains, is eight. The proportion of saturated hydrocarbons was 9.4 70. Hydrocarbon composition was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. (LCM-7a chromatograph with copper capillary column (33 In) coated With Apiezone L, hydrogen carrier-gas, inlet pressure 0.2 MPa, programmed from 140~ to 280~ Normal paraffins and isoprenanes were identified. The quantitative content of hydrocarbons identified was calculated from peak areas on the gas-liquid chromatogram, corresponding to these hydrocarbons. The "peak" area on the gas-liquid chromatogram, corresponding to naphthenes eluted from the capillary column ~'as also measured. Polycyclic hydrocarbons were identified using an LKV-2091 chromatomassspectrometer (molecular separator and ionization chamber at 250 ~, ionizing voltage 70 eV, emission current 50 ttM) using a copper column 30 m x0.25 mm coated with Apiezone L, helium was the carrier-gas and the mass-spectrometer itself-the detector. Table 4 shows the. composition of the paraffinic-naPhthenic part of the extract. Normal paraffins in the carbon number range (C16-C3o), isoparaffins, including isoprenanes and naphthenes were found in the naphthenic-Paraffinic part of the extract. Three isopi'enanes-2,6,10-trimethylpentadecane (Cla), 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (C~9, pristane) and 2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane (C2o, TABLE 4.

The concentrate contained n-paraffins 35 70, isoparaffins 11"67o and isoprenanes-3"27o. The content of isoprenanes calculated on extract (0"0770) is much lower than in petroleums (0"5-3"070). Pristane is found in the highest proportion-827o, phytane-13 70 and 2,5,10-trimethylpentadecane-in about 5 70 (the overall amount of isoprenanes being 10070). Naphthenes (53 70) form over half the naphthenic-paraffinic fraction some 915 70 of these are tetra- and pentacyclic hydrocarbons. GC/MS was used to detect iso-campestane (C28, ergostane stereomer).

I. The composition 'of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons-constituents of a bituminous coal extract (Silesia)-were examined. 2. The extract contained precursor hydrocarbons in the range C~6"C30 and included normal paraffins; C18, C~9 and C2o isoprenanes; C28 sterane (isocampestane) and eighteen (C27-C34) triterpanes, namely C27 trisnorhopane and two o f its isomers, three C29 adiantane isomers, three C3o hopane isomers, three C31homohopane isomers and two triterpane isomers (C3z, C33 and C3~). The extract contained 0.2 Yotriterpanes. The triterpanes identified in the extract were representatives of 17c~H hopane, typical of petroleum hydrocarbons, 3. The extract contained aromatic hydrocarbons with 2 t o 5 condensed rings in the molecule (homologous series ranging from CnHz,_ ~o to CnH2"_28).Homologues of naphthalene, acenaphthene, diphenyl, anthracene (phenanthrene, phenylnaphthalene and methanophenanthrene) were present in the largest proportion. The maximum number of carbon atoms in aromatic hydrocarbon substituents was 8. REFERENCES

INHIBITION IN COMBINED LIQUID-PHASE PHOTOCHEMICAL OXIDATION OF BENZ(a)PYRENE AND SOME POLYCYCLIC ARENES* M. YA. GOOBERGRITS,L. P. PAALMEand P. S. JACQUIGNONE Institute of Chemisti'y,Estonian Academyof Sciences Institute of the ChemistryOf Natural Compo'unds,NTsNI, France (Received 22 March 1982)
OXIDATION OF benz(a)pyrene ([BP]-tHr m a i n carcinogenic component formed by the action of heat on petroleum and oil products and entering the biosphere in waste water and industrial waste) seldom takes place in isolation. It usually occurs in the presence of other associated biologically active substances interacting with them. Similar interactions have been studied previously [1], the cooxidation of BP and mixtures with phenols, some biologically active substances of plants, with certain polyarenes (PA)-p~rene, phenanthren% anthracene (and-some derivatives of the last named), by initiated UV radiation in a broad wave range, i.e. under conditions simulating oxidative breakdown of carcinogenic impurities in the surrounding atmosphere. The pattern and the extent of the effect we are interested in is demonstrated to be determined by the structure and reactivity of molecules associated with BP and their relative concentration. The effects of inhibition of the oxidation of BP are characterized in this study by polycyclic arches of more complex structure, the by-products of the stronger action of heat on organic fuels-pyrene, fluoranthene and dibenzo-derivatives on the basis of a formal-kinetic evaluation of these PrOCesses. A list of PAs co-oxidized in this study with BP is tabulated. T h e kinetic experiment was c0fiducted using known methods [2-4] for the photo-initiated oxidation of model dibenzopyrenes * Neftekhimiya23, No. 4, 530-532) 1983.
