HyperCoal is an ash-free coal produced by extraction with an industrial solvent at temperatures around 360 °C, which can be fed directly to gas turbines. We searched for more powerful solvents to extract low-rank coals, such as sub-bituminous coal. Polar materials were successfully concentrated from a polar industrial solvent, crude methylnaphthalene oil (CMNO), by extraction with a mixture of methanol and water or aqueous HCl. The soluble fraction obtained using the former (MW-S) extracted 73 wt % (daf) of Wyodak Anderson sub-bituminous coal at 360 °C, while that obtained using the latter (AC-S) extracted 63 wt %. These extraction yields were much higher than those with CMNO (43 wt %), indicating that fractionation concentrated the materials that dissolve the constituents of coal. MW-S contained more indole than AC-S. The results of addition tests suggested that indole had a greater ability to extract coal constituents than quinoline. In addition, the addition of 5 wt % methanol to a mixture of 1-methyln...
