Switching the hydrophobic Neyveli lignite into ... ScienceDirect
These processes convert the Neyveli lignite into more functionalised, oxygenated coal with improved wettable character. Such a hydrophilic type coal on interacting with Cr(VI) effectively adsorbs and removes it from the solution. ... In this process, the alkylation/methylation process converts the aromatic nature of coal into a quinonoid ...
