Oxidation of Shenfu Coal with RuO4 and NaOCl | Energy Fuels
Shenfu coal (SFC) oxidation with RuO4 and NaOCl were studied and compared. Most of organic matter in SFC was converted into soluble species with either of the oxidants. Benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) and alkanoic acids (AAs) are the main products from the reactions. The products from SFC oxidation with RuO4 are rich in longchain AAs, whereas those with NaOCl predominantly consist of ...
