Abstract

In preliminary studies of the extraction of wax from Northern Ireland (Crumlin deposit) lignite, a number of extractions were carried out with three solvents for different contact times and two extraction temperatures. Exhaustive extraction with toluene shows that Crumlin lignite contains 16.6 wt% wax on a dry basis.
