Coal is a complex heterogeneous material and for its knowledge a homogeneous fractionation is necessary. Coal presents variations in the same grains depending on density, so a more adequate fractionation is obtained by its separation according to density. The density was determined with a pycnometer and the separation of coal in different fractions according to density. The organic and inorganic solutions were replaced with distilled water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
