Popis: The densities of the Argonne Premium Coal samples were measured using H 2 , He, and a H 2 -He mixture (49.13 vol% of H 2 in He) in a gas pycnometer. Significant differences between the apparent hydrogen densities and helium densities were observed. The larger H 2 densities observed in the tests are attributed to H 2 gas adsorption/absorption on coal. The H 2 gas adsorption coefficient increases with increasing carbon content. The «true» or intrinsic densities of coals extrapolated from plots of the measured density versus H 2 gas partial pressure are very close to the He-densities. The organic coal density (dmmf coal density) was obtained after a correction for the mineral matter in the coals. It decreases with increasing carbon content initially, reaches a minimum at about 82 wt% carbon, and then increases with increasing carbon content
