Abstract
Geting
bituminous coal (GBC) was sequentially extracted with petroleum ether,
carbon disulfide (CDS), methanol, acetone, and isometric CDS/acetone
mixed solvent at room temperature to afford extracts 1–5 (E<sub>1</sub>–E<sub>5</sub>) and residue. Detailed characterizations
of the extracts were performed with a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer
(GC/MS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and direct
analysis in real-time ionization source (DARTIS) coupled to an ion-trap
mass spectrometer (ITMS). GBC and its residue were also analyzed with
the FTIR spectrometer. Particle sizes of the residue were significantly
reduced compared to those of GBC according to the observation with
a scanning electron microscope. Arenes with 1–4 rings and more
condensed arenes were enriched into E<sub>1</sub> and E<sub>2</sub>, respectively, while more heteroatom-containing organic species
were detected in other extracts, especially in E<sub>3</sub> and E<sub>4</sub> according to GC/MS analysis. The extracts, especially E<sub>1</sub>–E<sub>4</sub>, contain more aliphatic moieties and
less aromatic moieties compared to GBC and its residue based on FTIR
analysis. DARTIS/ITMS proved to be a powerful tool for analyzing thermally
labile and/or involatile species, which are difficult to be identified
with GC/MS, in the extracts
