In order to study the variation of pore characteristics and fractal dimensions, coal samples
are treated by ionic liquid with different concentrations. Then the N 2 isotherm …

Matured reservoirs are being targeted for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations in the
hope to recover the residual oil that remains trapped within the porous media. Chemical …

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel. Direct combustion of low‐and medium‐rank coals
causes alarming environmental impacts. Therefore, it is crucial for coal to undergo …

Thermal stability and thermal decomposition kinetics of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium
tetrafluoroborate ([bmim] BF 4) were investigated using isothermal and non-isothermal …

Interactions between three types of novel sodium salicylate (NaSal)–imidazole ionic liquids
(ILs) and coal were studied at the macro, micro, and micro levels. The experimental results …

Sulfur dioxide produced from Coal-fire power plant are the main sources of air pollution and
PM 2.5 (the aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm) which may result in multiple …

In this work, two Turkish coals were extracted with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and NMP
containing a small amount of ionic liquids (ILs) under reflux conditions at atmospheric …

In this study, three imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and distilled water flushing were
used to treat lignite subsamples to ascertain the inhibiting effect of ILs on the spontaneous …

The conversion of coal to methane by anaerobic microorganisms is an efficient, clean, and
green way to utilize coal. However, methane production is relatively low due to the low …

Coal, a flammable substance, is affected by spontaneous weathering and can be hazardous
when exposed to thermally unstable conditions. Over the past few decades, numerous …
