During the past 7 years, we have developed and applied new methodologies using capillary-column GC for the separation and identification of PACs in coal-derived liquids. The primary samples that were used throughout these studies included a solvent-refined coal (SRC II) heavy distillate and a coal tar. Details of the isolation and identification of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (II), sulfur heterocycles (12, 13), nitrogen heterocycles (14,15), amino- substituted PACs (16-18), and hydroxy-substituted PACs (14, 19, 20) in an SRC II heavy distillate have already been published (II, 13, 15, 18, 21). 

Polycyclic organic matter, derived from the total exhaust emission, is an extremely complex mixture. It includes a large number of compounds such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), derivations of PAH such as nitro-PAH and amino-PAH, oxygenated PAH such as phenols and quinones, and heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing sulfur and oxygen. In order to assist in the identification of classes of toxic compounds it is possible to fractionate the exhaust emissions into vapor and...
