Abstract

Reduced and low-reduced pairs of isometamorphic coals spanning the whole coalification series have been studied. A comparative determination of the yields and properties of the products of various pyrolysis processes has been carried out. A high reactivity for reduced coals in coking and leaching processes was indicated. The solid products of steam pyrolysis were characterized by well developed surfaces, the values of which depend of the coal type by reductivity and coal rank. Desulphurisation effects from thermal treatment were recorded for all samples.
