Abstract
For two brown coals, Australian Yallourn and Indonesian South Banko coals, measurements of SPE/MAS 13C NMR spectra, OH group analysis according to acetylation and silylation, Curiepoint pyrolysis, and analysis of CO2H groups were conducted. Based on these results, plausible chemical structural units of above brown coals were proposed and submitted to CAMD calculation to understand the interactive forces of units. On the other hand, these brown coals were found to show the higher reactivities when modified in the presence of water at around 350 °C. The enhancement of these reactivities was examined by supposing what kinds of reaction take place based on the unit chemical structures proposed here and the interactive forces of these units.
