The chlorine uptake of two Turkish lignites during chlorinolysis with chlorine gas in water and
water-carbon tetrachloride media at ambient pressure (∼= 610 mmHg) was examined. The effects of
speed of stirring (5-20s−1 ), particle size (74-88, 150-180 and 250-425 µm), temperature (13-70◦ C) and
chlorination time (0-18000 s) were studied. It is shown that the amount of chlorine uptake of both coals
increased with decreasing particle size and increasing temperature.
