Six Argonne premium coals and an Australian brown coal (Morwell) were extracted in a flowing stream of either tetralin or 1-methylnaphthalene under 10 MPa at 200 to 400 C to examine the solubilization/depolymerization behavior of coal in liquid phase. The flowing solvent was used to minimize the secondary reaction between the extract and the macromolecular networks of coal. Four bituminous and sub-bituminous coals were found to be extracted without decomposition at 350 C. The extract yield reached 65 to 80% for the bituminous coals at 350 C, and the extract was divided into about 30 to 40% of soluble fraction at room temperature (soluble) and about 40% of solid precipitated at room temperature (deposit). The detailed analyses of the soluble, the deposit and the residue using ultimate analysis, {sup 13}C solid NMR, GPC, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) enabled examination of the structure of Pittsburgh No.8 (PITT) in detail. The raw PITT coal was found to consist of small guest molecules (M{sub w} = 130 to 600) and large host molecules (M{sub w} = 1,300 to 3,500). The soluble consisted of only guest molecules, but both guest and host molecules were involved in the deposit and themore » residue. The extraction method employed in this work was found to be effective to separate coal into different molecule size fractions without decomposition for bituminous coals, and is effective to recover a large amount of extract from low rank coals. The soluble, being obtained in 20 to 40% yield and consisting of molecules smaller than 400 of M{sub w}, and the deposit, being obtained in 40% yield at maximum and containing little ash, would be well utilized as raw materials for the subsequent conversion.« less
