TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of the gasification behavior of coal chars doped with small amounts of alkali metal carbonates, and the kinetic data were consistent with catalytic mechanisms involving oxidation/reduction cycles on the char substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the BPA−NaOH−H 2 O system for polycarbonate synthesis is analyzed by solving the simultaneous chemical equilibria, material balances, and ionic charge balance to yield the aqueous-phase composition under arbitrary 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane (BPA) loadings and pH levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a space filling model for low-, intermediate-, and high-rank coal molecules was constructed for experimentally determined parameters, such as chemical composition, aromaticity and ring index.

TL;DR: Low melting binary and ternary eutectics of the alkali metal halides, carbonates and sulphates have been found to be more effective low temperature catalysts for the CO2 and steam gasification of graphite and coal chars than the pure salt components as discussed by the authors.
