Vapor Pressure of Coal Chemicals

Abstract
The vapor pressure data on 324 coal compounds are collected and analyzed. The adopted data sets for each substance are weighted and combined to fit into a Cox vapor pressure equation, log10P=(1−D/T)×10(A+BT+CT2) by the least-squares method. The results of the literature review and the evaluated values of coefficients for the vapor pressure equations are presented in separate tables. For ease of presentation, the coal compounds are divided into seven groups, based upon their molecular structures. They are (1) benzene and its derivatives, (2) naphthalene and its derivatives, (3) saturated ring compounds, (4) unsaturated ring compounds, (5) heterocyclic sulfur compounds, (6) heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, and (7) heterocyclic oxygen compounds.
