Abstract

Free radicals are generally accepted as playing an important role in the liquefaction of coal. In a continuing series of studies, we are attempting to determine the relation between the nature and properties of free radicals and process variables such as residence time in a reactor, heating rates to achieve highest temperature and the role of various solvents and gases in stabilizing free radicals in lower-molecular-weight moieties. The free radical concentration after thermal treatments correlates well with the propensity of a given solvent to donate its hydrogen.
