Interactions of aqueous metal ions with organic compounds found in coal gasification: process condensates
The acidic, basic, and neutral fractions of a coal gasification tar were analyzed by capillary column gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Studies were performed to characterize the interactions between basic and neutral fraction components of the tar and aqueous solutions containing FeT . Basic organic constituents, especially pyridines and anilines, were affected by the presence of aqueous iron ions, while the neutral constituents were not.
