Abstract
The invention provides compositions of matter comprising coal body surfaces having improved characteristics for hydration and preservation of pristine surfaces, and which are compatible with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic liquid media. The coal body surfaces of the invention facilitate burning at low temperatures, avoiding emissions of nitrogen oxides, and also have improved properties for surfactant-free suspension in either water or oil media, as well as for liquefaction and gasification.
