Opis

Extensive researches have been focused on the analysis of organic compounds in coals at the molecular level to reveal the characteristics of coals with different ranks and/or origins. Mass spectrometry, in association with a variety of sample inlet systems, has revolutionized the analysis of complex mixture like coals and should be the most rapidly developed analytical technology in the last 20 years. Various ion sources have been developed that dramatically increase the selectivity and sensitivity for mass spectrometry. Through various ionization techniques, the exact structures of coals can be obtained, which will explore the application of coal directional conversion and facilitate the utilization of coals cleanly and efficiently.

O autorze

Xing Fan's research is aimed at structural identification for solid fuels, such as coals and biomass. Various ion sources of mass spectrometry have been applied to create ions from coals and biomass to reveal the chemical structures with the goal of correlating the properties and behaviors of the products from them.
