Preoxidized samples representative of eight different coal beds were carbonized to measure the effect of oxidation on yields and properties of carbonization products. In general, progressive oxidation results in decreased pore size of coke, followed by poor fusion and finally by complete loss of coking power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
