Popis: Quinoline forms an adduct with Bruceton hvAb coal at temperatures < 250 °C in the absence of H2 pressure and catalyst. The extent of quinoline incorporation into Bruceton coal was both time and temperature dependent. After 4 h at 200 °C, ≈ 20 wt% of quinoline had incorporated into the coal, as indicated by solubility measurements. A dissolution-precipitation technique was employed to permit a clean separation of physically-entrapped quinoline from the crude adduct. The crude adduct isolated in the first precipitation step had ≈ 75% of its quinoline content physically entrapped and 25% chemically bound, presumably by hydrogen bonding to acidic centres.
