[Display omitted] In this study, low-rank coal-water slurry (LCWS) was prepared using polyoxyethylene dodecylphenol ether (PDPE) and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (PLE), respectively. A combination of experiments and simulations was used to investigate the pulping properties and microscopic mechanism...
