Abstract:
Analysis of coals for potential petroleum related content is of immense significance for fuel evaluation. Pyrolysis-GC/MS is a very flexible technique which can be used sequentially in multiple modes to characterize different types of coals chemically. This presentation uses a range of PY-GC/MS application examples to illustrate the utility of information obtained from different PY-GC/MS modes of use. A strategic “method map” approach will be described utilizing multiple techniques such as Evolved Gas Analysis, thermal desorption, and flash pyrolysis using Pyrolysis GC/MS techniques to characterize the differences among three coal samples for comparative analysis.
