The authors address the chemistry of coal, with specific emphasis on itsgeochemistry, macromolecular structure (including the controversial topic of theexistence of a "mobile phase" in coal), and aspects of the organic reaction ofcoals. In addition, various modern instrumental techniques are covered,including NMR, mass spectrometry, FTIR, electron microscopy, and gaschromatography.Schobert, Harold H. is the author of 'Coal Science II', published 1991 under ISBN 9780841220058 and ISBN 0841220050.
