Coal precursors for carbon molecular sieves. Quarterly report, October 1--December 31, 1994

摘要

During this period the authors have been working on three tasks: (1) selecting additional samples for analysis; (2) formalizing their database; and (3) performing some preliminary analyses. The report describes four additional sample coals selected for use in making carbon molecular sieves. The authors have established a preliminary database format, which will be used to store information presently available for samples to be analyzed over the next several months. Their database format is patterned after the database used by Penn State researchers rather than the ANL format because the Penn State format clearly distinguishes various sets of information. Some preliminary analyses have been made using two ANL coals to assess the effects of particle size and differences in coal chemistry. A copy of a report on results is attached. Additional analyses to further assess the effects of particle size will be made prior to analyzing the twelve coals selected for this study.
