TL;DR: In this article, a sample of kerogen isolated from a Green River oil shale has been examined using high resolution solid state 13 C n.m.r. spectroscopy and the relative concentrations of carbon types have been determined using a novel peak-synthesis technique applied to the 13 C spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that large thermally stable aromatic molecules can perform a similar role to the molecular entities present in the mobile phase of bituminous coals, and that the presence of hydroaromatic (hydrogen donor) species in the intermediate phase is unnecessary for the development of thermoplastic properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the current state of knowledge of the mechanisms of these interactions possible mechanisms of interactions are summarized, kinetic and chemical structural aspects of reactions are outlined, the importance is mentioned of the formation of liquid phases enabling anisotropic optical textures in modified cokes to be created, and the industrial relevance of its possible development is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of ranks of coals were carbonized singly and also co-carbonized (HTT 1273 K) with 25% of Ashland A200 petroleum pitch.
