The Effect of the Mobile Component on the Liquefaction Characteristic of Western Kentucky Coals

Keogh, R.A.; Hardy, R.H.; Taghizadeh, K.; Meuzelaar, H.L.C. and Davis, B.H.
Fuel Processing Technology, 37:33-52, 1994. Funded by US Department of Energy.

The mobile component of western Kentucky coals were extracted and analyzed by conventional methods and Curie-point mass spectroscopy. The liquefaction of the parent coals, extracted coals, and blends of the extracted coals plus mobile components indicated that the absence of the mobile component generally decreases the observed conversions obtained. The results also show that, in general, blending the mobile component and extracted coal also produces lower conversions than those obtained from the parent coal. These data suggest that the location of the mobile component in the pore structure of the coal is as important as the presence of the mobile component in coal conversion.
