Abstract
Mercury porosimetry was used to study changes in the pore structure of three western Canadian low-rank coals treated in three different atmo spheres (nitrogen, steam and combustion products) at temperatures up t o 500-degrees-C. The intrusion curves are well described by two differ ent power laws in the pressure range 0.1-200 MPa. Principal-component analysis was performed to determine relations among the power-law expo nents, equilibrium moisture and volatile matter.
