Characterization of the Resin Fraction from Various Low-Temperature Tar Pitches

Description: From Introduction: "In connection with the overall research by the Bureau of Mines on the nature of coal and its products, and extensive investigation was conducted on the composition of the resins from pitch of low-temperature tar. The pitch resin is that material in pitch or tar that is insoluble in saturated hydrocarbon solvents. It varies in appearance from a dark brown semisolid to a black, granular solid."

Optical Properties of Coals and Graphite

Description: From Abstract: "Optical Properties of U.S. coals of differing rank have been investigated by the Bureau of Mines for about 20 years. These investigations have been made to further the development of an objective basis for petrographic analysis of coal and to add knowledge of the structure and composition of coal and coal components by determining their optical constants in various regions of electromagnetic spectrum."

Thermodynamic Properties of Forsterite and Serpentine

Description: From introduction: "This report contains the results of measurements to obtain the heats of formation of forsterite and chrysotile; entropies at 298.15 K of two polymorphs of serpentine, chrysotile and antigorite; and high temberature heat content increments for antigorite. These results have been combined with other pertinent data to derive heat and free energy values at high temperatures."
