Abstract

Reactivity of coals is determined by its chemical structure. The development of coal utilization technologies always involves research in coal structure and reactivity. As a result, many structure models of coals have been proposed and reactivity of coals has been defined in various ways depending on information available at the time. However, these efforts have not reached molecular level as we have enjoyed in other branches of chemistry. This article analyzes understandings in structure and reactivity of coals acquired in the past and proposes researches needed for further consideration.
