Chemical changes of Chinese lignite upon drying in superheated steam, microwave, and hot air have been studied in this paper using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique. The infrared (IR) spectra of raw and dried samples were curve-fitted to a series of bands in aliphatic hydrogen (3000–2800 cm–1) and carbonyl absorption (1850–1500 cm–1) zones. It has been found that aliphatic hydrogen absorbance decreased slightly with an increasing temperature during superheated steam drying, while absorption of carboxyl (COOH) and carbonyl (C═O) groups decreased drastically, indicative of the loss of oxygen functionalities with an increasing drying temperature. During steam drying, aromatic carbon and aromatic ring stretch absorption remained relatively unchanged up to 250 °C and decreased significantly thereafter because of some pyrolysis reactions that took place at higher drying temperatures. Microwave heating of lignite resulted in a significant decrease in the concentration of oxygen-contain...
