Abstract

Information of great value in understanding the mechanisms involved in the conversion of fossil fuel materials to commercially useful products can be obtained by dynamic measurement techniques. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) can, in principle, detect many of the changes expected during thermal processing of fossil fuels, but its application as a dynamic measurement technique over the temperature range of importance presents many difficulties. Results of the application of dynamic 1H NMR measurement techniques to the study of the pyrolysis of acenaphthylene, oil shale, brown coal, bituminous whole coals and macerals, and pyridine treated coal are presented and discussed.
