Abstract: Zhundong subbituminous coal (ZSBC) was exhaustively extracted with isometric carbon disulfide (CDS)/acetone mixed solvent to afford extract 1 (E₁), which was sequentially extracted with petroleum ether (PE) and CDS to afford extracts 2 (E₂) and 3 (E₃). E₃ was gradiently eluted into effluent portions 1 to 5 (EPs 1 to 5) through a silica gel-packed column sequentially with PE, CDS/PE mixed solvents with volume ratio of 3:7, 1:1 and 7:3, and CDS. According to analysis with a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer, in total, 22 alkyl phenyl carbonates were enriched into EP₃, and anthraquinone and its two derivatives, nine polycyclic aromatic ketones and two polycyclic aromatic lactones into EP₄. Most of the oxygen-containing aromatics are value-added chemicals. [Received: March 20, 2013; Accepted: September 17, 2013]
