Abstract

The three major maceral groups, vitrinite, liptinites, and inertinites, were separated from an eastern Kentucky coal by density gradient centrifugation. The liquefaction of these macerals was studied at three reaction temperatures and a single residence time. The liquefaction products were separated by solubility classes and each class was further analyzed. The liquefaction data showed the absence of an additive effect, suggesting a synergism among the macerals in the original coal matrix.
