The Effect of Organic Acid Modification on the Pore Structure and Fractal Features of 1/3 Coking Coal by Jiafeng Fan, Feng Cai

“…Following treatment with organic acids, the coal samples exhibit an increase in surface fractal dimension, a reduction in spatial fractal dimension, a decline in micropore volume proportion, and a rise in the proportions of transitional and mesopore volumes, and the structure of the hydroxyl group and oxygen-containing functional group decreased. This indicates that treating coal samples with organic acids enhances their pore structure and chemical structure. …”
