Mass spectrometry of intact synthetic polymers has been limited to field desorption (FD) MS
for many years. More recently, soft ionization techniques such as electrospray (ESI) and …

Reactive molecular dynamics simulations are a useful approach for investigating chemical
reactions and structural transformations in complex systems. Coal pyrolysis is one such area …

Two South African coals of the same rank and age, but different in maceral composition
were subjected to extensive structural analyses. Inertinite-rich Highveld coal (dominated by …

A large-scale molecular model for Illinois No. 6 Argonne Premium coal is generated based
on an automated construction approach in an effort to move toward capturing the continuum …

Abstract A large-scale (C 115925 H 42127 O 892 N 764 S 919) atomistic representation of
Fenghuangshan anthracite was constructed using an image-guided approach informed by …

This paper reviews analytical methods that have been developed for characterizing complex
liquid mixtures derived from fossil fuels. The analysis of fractions with masses up to∼ 400 …

Knowledge of the molecular weight distribution is important for rationalizing coal behavior.
While many analytical approaches generate average data, inclusion of coal's inherent …

Chemical structures of candidate coals (one subbituminous coal from the Powder River
Basin and three bituminous Eastern US coals) were examined for potential low-cost carbon …

A high-temperature coal tar (HTCT) was extracted by petroleum ether (PE) and the extract
(denoted by PE-HTCT) was characterized using three mass spectrometers to obtain and …

Calibration data for size exclusion chromatography and results from the analysis of MALDI–
TOF mass-spectra of coal derived liquids have been presented. The work provides the …
