Development of a Novel Mild Depolymerization Method of Coal by ...
Depolymerization of coal increases the tar yield in coal pyrolysis and enhances the thermoplasticity of the coal, which makes coal more favorable for producing coke and other valueadded products like graphite electrodes, carbon fiber, aromatic chemicals, etc. In this study, the authors have proposed a novel coal depolymerization method that combines the oxidation reactions by molecular oxygen ...
