Previous work at the University of Wyoming has shown that as Wyoming's subbituminous coal has high oxygen content, solvent extract obtained under certain conditions that preserve phenolic groups already present in the coal, could without further intermediate stages be applied in the synthesis of polyurethane and epoxy coatings. As coal is relatively cheap compared to the solvent, finding a cheap solvent can make the extraction process economically viable. Therefore, we chose lower aliphatic alcohols for this study. In this work, we studied solvent extraction of coal to produce value added extract material using a two-step procedure - at first thermolysis with a solvent and then extraction with pyridine or chloroform. Any linear alcohol with 3 carbon atoms or more performed well. While methanol showed relatively low extraction efficiency (less than 50%), and the other achieved 80% or higher. The extraction efficiency was seen to be methanol < ethanol < 1-propanol < 1-butanol. Considering economic and environmental factors, 1-butanol was found to be the most attractive reactant compared to longer alcohols such as 1-dodecanol, especially on a per mol base. Further studies on 1-butanol showed that 1:1 ratio of coal and solvent, 3.5 hours of reaction at temperature from 320°C to 360°C are the optimal process condition to achieve highest yield. A comprehensive mass balance showed that only 0.36 grams of 1-butanol were consumed per gram of reaction product, including some loss, which can be considered as promising in an industrial setup. Further, the extracts and residues have a volatile matter to fixed carbon ratio roughly around 1 to 1, which is typically observed for coal and coal-based materials. 31P-NMR showed that OH groups mainly as phenolic groups in the range of 1-2 mmol/g, which need to be fully validated. We also built a semi-batch reactor to test the results and generate data which might be useful for industrial continuous process scale-up effort. This set up worked well for long-chain alcohols such as 1-decanol or 1-dodecanol but caused some challenges for 1-butanol.
