Quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis and its application to various coals

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is presented to obtain the maximum structural information on carbonaceous materials from their X-ray scattering curves in the middle and high range of scattering angle, which is based on qualitative observations, in which only two types of carbon structures including crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon are considered, is suggested.

Photoacoustic and related photothermal techniques

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theory and applications of photoacoustic and related methods belonging to the general area of photothermal measurement techniques, including spectroscopic applications such as infrared and microwave spectroscopies, monitoring of non-radiative deexcitation processes, biological applications, and measurements of thermal properties.

Photoacoustic Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of Solid Samples

TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of photoacoustic detection are discussed, and comparisons of sample spectra obtained by different techniques, including photoacoustical detection, are presented and compared.

Fourier Transform Infrared study of mineral matter in coal. A novel method for quantitative mineralogical analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the low-temperature ash of coal is analyzed by means of absorbance spectral subtraction of individual components, stored in digital form on computer memory, multiplied by appropriate weighting factors and subtracted from the spectrum of the low temperature ash, so that the characteristic bands of the mineral are removed.

Selective alkylation of acidic hydroxyl groups in coal

Ronald Liotta
- 01 Oct 1979 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new selective alkylation procedure was developed which converted polar hydroxyls into relatively non-polar ethers and esters, and has been successfully tested on a bituminous and sub-bituminous coal.
