Implication

Experimental analysis uncovers steric requirements for solvent swelling in Illinois No. 6 coal, indicating structural macromolecular limits on solvent penetration.

Key Points

Determine the influence of solvent molecular size and steric constraints on the swelling behavior of Illinois No. 6 coal.
Examined solvent swelling behavior in Illinois No. 6 coal samples exposed to organic solvents with varying steric dimensions.
Evaluated the extent of volumetric swelling as a function of solvent geometry and molecular bulk.
Demonstrated that solvent uptake and swelling extent correlate inversely with the steric bulk of the penetrating solvent molecules.
Identified critical spatial limits within the cross-linked coal network that restrict diffusion of sterically hindered solvents.
