Role of Chain Reactions and Olefin Formation in Cracking, Hydroconversion, and Coking of Petroleum and Bitumen Fractions

TL;DR: In this article, a consistent mechanism for cracking of residues based on the known chemistry of free-radical chain reactions and model compounds is presented. But the mechanism of cracking of distillate fractions is well-known, the reactions that underlay conversion of the residue fractions of petroleum and bitumen are not well defined.

Overview of commonly used materials for coal spontaneous combustion prevention

TL;DR: In this article, a review of commonly used retardants for coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) prevention is presented, based upon the necessary conditions required for CSC and coal−−oxygen reaction mechanism, various materials used in CSC inhibition are analysed in detail and classified into physical-based, chemical-based and composite retardants.

Electron spin resonance studies of coals and coal conversion processes: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of electron spin resonance (ESR) studies in coal research from 1954 to now, with emphases on research advancements in this century, is provided, including ESR studies on other heavy organic matters such as biomass and oil shale, because their reactions are similar in principle with coal reactions.

Quantitative Investigation of Free Radicals in Bio‐Oil and their Potential Role in Condensed‐Phase Polymerization

TL;DR: Pyrolytic lignin had the highest concentration in free radicals, which could be a combination of carbon-centered (benzyl radicals) and oxygen- centered (phenoxy radicals) organic species because they are delocalized in a π system.

Some Cautionary Notes on ESR and ENDOR Measurements in Coal Research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of dilution of high-rank coals and heat-treated coals with a nonconducting medium on the results of electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy.

Free radicals in coal and coal conversions. 5. Methodology for the in-situ investigation of free radicals in coal depolymerization under SRC-II preheater/reactor conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a uniquely designed electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) cavity allows the monitoring of free radicals and how they are affected by residence time, temperature and pressure changes.
