Research Status and Development Trend of Macromolecular Structure and Model Construction of Different Coals

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal is a natural macromolecular substance composed of complex organic molecules and a small amount of minerals. Its chemical composition and microstructure are highly complex and variable, and no unified definition exists. This inherent structural complexity underscores the theoretical significance of constructing accurate macromolecular ...
