Synopsis
The history of basic research in coal science in France is treated in this book, followed by a presentation of a minibank of 5 French coals of different rank. The main part of the book deals with a description of improved methods of coal characterization and their applications to the coals of the minibank. The results are divided into three 1) Raw coals, 2) Products of extraction, oxidation and pyrolysis and 3) Macerals. An overall discussion of the whole assembly of new methods and information follows the series of research papers. This volume will be of value to those involved in the field of coal characterization for conversion processes, both in the short term and in the future. Since these methodologies are not restricted to coal characterization but extend to carbonaceous materials in general, e.g. oil shales, petroleum residues and heavy petroleums, this book will be of interest to a wide ranging readership.
