Abstract

A Japanese bituminous coal was treated with liquid ammonia at temperatures up to 120 °C. Extract was separated from the treated coal by washing with benzene-ethanol mixture. The amount of extract was about 2% in a single treatment at 120 °C and some additional extract was obtained by successive treatments. Particles of the residue had cracks and showed an increase in surface area. The ammonia-treated coal was found highly reactive toward gasification with hydrogen at high temperature when catalysed by nickel.
