The impact of microwaves of different timing on the structural and chemical characteristics of a carbonaceous natural material

Abstract

Changes in the properties of brown Kansk-Achinsk coal after exposure to microwaves have been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR). The size composition of the samples has been investigated. The structure of coal has been found to be similar to the structure of multicomponent organic glass. The analysis of the changes in the EMR spectra of the coal samples (300 K, 83 K) exposed to microwaves has been found to gather information about the structural transformation taking place in the coal matter.
