Abstract

ABSTRACT A high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed to determine the amount of each of the compound classes (such as saturates, aromatics and polars) in the oil fraction (pentane soluble fraction) of coal liquids. The method utilizes bonded cyanosilane and aminocyanosilane columns and mixtures of benzene in n-hexane and tetrahydrofuran in methyl tert-butyl ether as mobile phases. A Tracor LC-rotating disc flame ionization detector was used to quantify the chromatographic peaks. Oil fractions derived from different rank coals, liquefied at 385° and 445°C. were analyzed for their compound class compositions. The trends in the percentages of saturates, aromatics and polars varied with liquefaction temperature and coal rank.
