The changes in the hydrogen bonds (HBs) of Loy Yang lignite during low-temperature pyrolysis were investigated. The water content of all of the samples was determined by weighing the samples before and after heating in an oven. The changes in the number of the different types of HBs were determined using diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy considering the forms of water in lignite. The number of absorption bands, their peak positions, and the area of each peak in each spectrum were determined by curve-fitting analysis with the mixed Gaussian and Lorentzian function. The quantified integrated area of aromatic hydrogen atoms was used to accurately investigate the changes in the HBs. The results showed that the freezable and nonfreezable water contents of the total water weight in raw lignite were 84.8% and 15.2%, respectively. At low temperatures (T 鈮?100 掳C), the main removed water was freezable water. The number of OH鈥搇ignite interactions decreased compared with raw lignite, which can be attributed to the breaking of bound-water-cluster鈥搇ignite HBs. The removal of free water induced a decrease in the number of OH鈥揙H interactions, and then the transition of free water to bound water increased the number of OH鈥揙H interactions. At medium temperatures (100 < T 鈮?200 掳C), bound and nonfreezable water were mainly removed. The number of OH鈥搇ignite and OH鈥揙H interactions changed because of the competition between the transition of bound water to nonfreezable water and desorption of bound and nonfreezable water. At higher temperatures (200 < T 鈮?250 掳C), nonfreezable water was the main form of water removed, and carboxyl groups started to drastically pyrolyze. OH鈥搇ignite interactions changed as a result of the removal of nonfreezable water and the pyrolysis of carboxyl groups.
