Bituminous Coal Institute

The statistical and research section of the Bituminous Coal Institute, of Washington, D. C., collects data from all available sources concerning production, consumption, and exports of coal fuel equipment and production facilities. These statistics are included in the Bituminous Coal Annuah 39) and other publications of the society.

Currently there is considerable effort being expended in several institutions to continue sorption analyses to evaluate the porosity and internal surface area of coal. These studies involve studies of vapor (2, 3, 4 and liquid (5) sorption analyses. We have employed proven micro-gravimetric sorption equipment and techniques (6) for a detailed examination of the thermodynamics and mechanisms of sorption of various vapors on well-characterized coals. Specifically, the coals used for this study are classified as C-bituminous, Illinois No. 6, from the Sahara...
