Solid Fuel Chemistry

This Russian Academy of Sciences journal publishes theoretical and applied articles on the chemistry and physics of solid fuels and carbonaceous materials. It addresses the composition, structure and properties of solid fuels and their conversion by different processes into other fuels, chemicals and by-products. Included is coverage of the technological aspects of various chemical conversion processes. From the geochemistry, petrology and systematization of fossil fuels, to their beneficiation and preparation for processing, the processes themselves, and the ultimate recovery of the liquid or gaseous end products, this journal provides comprehensive information on the chemistry of solid fuels.
Major subjects covered are:

- Composition and structure of solid fuels
- Genesis of solid fuels
- Coal combustion
- Coal organic matter analysis
- Pyrolysis of low-rank coal, oil shale and peat
- Coal liquefaction
- Coal gasification
- High temperature pyrolysis
