Consequences of the Mass Spectrometric and Infrared Analysis of Oils and Asphaltenes for the Chemistry of Coal Liquefaction

Abstract: Oils and asphaltenes are generally assumed to be key intermediates in coal liquefaction. Since fundamental chemical/ mathematical principles require compositionally unique fractions, mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy were employed to obtain detailed molecular analyses of fractionated coal-liquid-derived oils and asphaltenes. The asphaltenes contain higher molecular weight homologs in many specific-Z series and different compound types than do the oils. However, both fractions contain appreciable quan… Show more

“…As new methods of chemical analysis became available, new proposals were advanced for characterizing fossil-fuel mixtures; these include group-contribution methods and structural details obtained from sophisticated state-ofthe-art analytical techniques (Allen et al, 1984; Charleswork, 1980;Clutter et al, 1972;Petrakis et al, 1983; Poirier and Das, 1984;Scheppele et al, 1981;Schwager and Yen, 1979;Speight, 1970;Thompson et al, 1973). Such methods, however, are too cumbersome for typical engineering work.…”

“…In this publication, quantitative data were given for nearly 1100 homologues found in coal-derived products, along with bulk chemical information, such as elemental analyses, number average molecular weights, carbon number distributions, and Z (a measure of aromaticity)-all derived from LVHRMS spectra. Scheppele et al (19) compared the group-type mass spectrometric analyses obtained from field ionization mass spectrometry (FIMS) and LVHRMS data on oils and asphaltenes from coal liquefaction. In this report, the effect of using sensitivities and approximations to sensitivities on the quantitative results calculated from FIMS were also discussed.…”
