ON A POSSIBLE ROLE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION IN
COAL LIQUEFACTION

ABSTRACT
The feasibility of coal conversion via electrochemical liquefaction has been investi-
gated. Because of the complicating presence of inorganic materials in coals, humic acids
extracted from lignites have been used as model substrates. Considerable reductions in
molecular mass, as revealed by size exclusion chromatography, were achieved by anodic
oxidation at 1.7 V for slurries in acid, and more especially for solutions in alkali. NMR
spectroscopy of methylated humic acids before and after oxidation suggests cleavage of
ether linkages between aromatic clusters, with generation of carboxyl groups.
INTRODUCTION
The liquefaction of coal involves the breaking down of the macromole-
cular structure [1] of aromatic units linked by molecular bridges of alkyl
groups and heteroatomic structures; at the same time the ratio of hydrogen
to carbon is increased, and the content of sulphur, nitrogen and mineral
