Differences in texture and porosity between the powder and lumps may affect the transport and interaction of the penetrant and coal. In this work, we address macroscopic and mesoscopic structural differences between powdered and non-powdered coals that influence the rates of the gas transport kinetics and changes in coal texture (swelling, shrinkage, and changes in the pore structure and interconnectivity) and the reciprocal free-phase pressure decay (relaxation). Com- parison of the multi-exponential relaxation time constants as a function of pressure, for CO2 and inert gas (helium), allows us to postulate several mechanisms responsible for observed pressure decay patterns.展开更多

The vibrational spectra the basis of the Fourier transform (FT)- Raman, FT-infrared measurements, the density-functional theory computations and the normal mode analysis. The A-, B-, and C-bands resonance Raman spectra in cyclohex- ane, acetonitrile, and methanol solvents were, respectively, obtained at 273.9, 252.7, 245.9, 228.7, 223.1, and 208.8 nm excitation wavelengths to probe the corresponding structural dynamics of PhN3. The results indicated that the structural dynamics in the S2 (A'), S3(A'), and S6(A') states were significantly different. The crossing points of the potential energy surfaces, S2S1(1) and S2S1(2), were predicted to play a key role in the low-lying excited state decay dynamics, in accordance with Kasha's rule, and NT=N8 dissociation. Two decay channels initiated from the Franck-Condon region of the S2(A') state were predicted: the radiative S2,min→S0 radiative decay and the S2→S1 internal conversion through the crossing points S2S1 (1)/S2S1(2).展开更多

The UV-absorption and vibrational spectra were as- signed. The A-band resonance Raman spectra were obtained in acetonitrile, methanol and water with the laser excitation wavelengths in resonance with the first intense absorption band to probe the Franck-Condon region structural dynamics. The CASSCF calculations were carried out to determine the excitation energies and optimized structures of the lower- lying singlet states and conical intersection point. The A-band structural dynamics and the corresponding decay mechanism were obtained by the analysis of the resonance Raman in- tensity pattern and the CASSCF calculated structural parameters. The major decay channel of S3,FC (ππ*)→S3(ππ*)/S1 (nπ*)→S1(nπ*) is proposed.展开更多
