Abstract
The AMCLA (Aromatic Mixture and Coal Liquid Analysis) computer program has been written for characterizing coal liquids. It may also be used in analyzing aromatic materials. This program is capable of generating all the structures of logically possible components of a mixture from input data obtained directly from elemental analysis, high resolution, non-fragmenting mass spectrometer, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The results are printed out, in order of priority, in a form that is very similar to the conventional structural formula. The program has been successfully tested with different sample data, including data from both pure compounds and mixtures, to prove its abilities. Analysis of ether-eluted fraction of synthoil asphaltene has been done by the AMCLA program. The results compare well with those obtained in previous work.
