Abstract

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used to extract Shenfu sub-bituminous coal and Shenfu sub-bituminous coal macrostructure simulated was structured. The extraction fractions and the residue were analyzed by GC/MS and solid-state 13C NMR respectively, from which abundant structural information of Shenfu sub-bituminous coal was obtained, such as f a , f c a , f l a , f H a etc. In addition, a hybrid genetic algorithm was presented to simulate approximately the complicated structure of Shenfu sub-bituminous coal through the structural fragments and functional groups.
