However, the structural information and formation Received in revised form 17 May 2010 mechanism of coal tar in the integrated process are still unknown. To compare the chemical composition Accepted 28 June 2010 of coal tars under different atmospheres, GC and GC/MS were used to analyze the volatile fractions of tar Available online 30 June 2010 obtained by pyrolysis of Shendong coal at 750 C in CRMP process and to be compared with those under nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide atmospheres. The results show that phenol and its alkyl- Key words: substituted homologs from C1 to C3 are the major products of the volatile fractions distillate below Coal pyrolysis 1 13 Tar 300 C . H NMR and C NMR analyses of coal tars show that the tar derived from CRMP process is mainly Chemical structure composed of alkyl-substituent attached to aromatic ring.
