Abstract

This paper discusses the applicability of Smalll Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) techniques for determining the porosity, pore size distribution and internal specific surface area in coals. The method is non-invasive, fast, inexpensive and does not require complex sample preparation. It uses coal grains of about 0.7mm size mounted in standard pellets as used for petrographic studies.
