Molecular Characterization of Soluble Components in
the Lignite by Sequential Solvent Extraction via Continuously Reducing
Particle Size
Posted on 2020-05-09 - 02:13
A lignite
was subjected to sequential solvent extraction via continuously
reducing particle size from around 20 to more than 200 mesh. Five
sets of n-hexane and methanol extracts from the particles
were characterized by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion
cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) and gas chromatography–mass
spectrometry. The total extract yield for lignite when using hexane
and methanol as solvents could reach to 0.98 and 15.12%, respectively.
The results showed that more molecules with a similar structure but
different composition could be extracted by continuously reducing
the particle size of the residues, indicating the nonuniform distribution
of the low-solubility molecules trapped in the coal particles. The
extracts were abundant in branched long-chain aliphatic moieties and
oxygen-containing compounds. With the increasing of the extraction
degree, the content of alkanes in the extracts decreased rapidly.
On the contrary, the content of the compounds with higher condensation
and more oxygen atoms increased. It should be noted that polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons were almost steadily present in all the extraction
steps. The molecular composition and distribution of organic molecules
in the lignite provide clues to the understanding of coal structure,
which is significant for the environmental emission and development
of processing techniques for the clean and high value-added utilizations
of such a low-rank and abundant coal resource.
