Abstract
Experiments on equilibrium adsorption loadings of various additives on 60 - 200 mesh Illinois 16 coal (DECS-2; Randolph county) were performed. The additives include n-propanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol, phenol, 2-naphthol, o-cresol and cyclohexanol. Equilibrium adsorption loadings of normal alcohols on 60 - 200 mesh Illinois No. 6 coal increase with increased numbers of carbons in their molecular formulas. Normal alcohols are more adsorbed on the coal than their branched alcohols. Adsorption loadings of single-ring compound phenol on the coal is higher than that of cyclohexanol. Adsorption loadings of double-ring compound 2-naphthol on the coal is much higher than that of single-ring compound phenol. The main objectives of this proposed research are to refine further the inverse liquid chromatography technique for the study of surface properties of raw coals, treated coals and coal minerals in water, to evaluate relatively surface properties of raw coals, treated coals and coal minerals by inverse liquid chromatography, and to evaluate floatability of various treated coals in conjunction with surface properties of coals.
