Different methods of drying coal were investigated to determine if drying can be accomplished without altering the coal structure and reactivity toward liquefaction. Coal-drying methods included thermal and microwave drying at elevated temperatures and chemical drying at low temperature. Six coals from lignite to high volatile bituminous rank were studied. Laboratory-scale liquefaction experiments were carried out on premoisturized and dried coals to determine the effects of different drying methods on liquefaction yields. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and swelling measurements were made to assess any changes in coal structure brought about by the different methods of drying. The NMR measurements showed that, in general, there were no major structural changes in coals dried thermally or with microwaves other than partial decarboxylation. Chemically dried coals exhibited increased resolution in the aliphatic carbon region that was attributed to adsorbed methanol, which was a reaction product...
