Brown coal was shown to undergo three decomposition steps with ever increasing activation energy as temperature increased because of the decomposition of thermally more and more stable molecular fragments. The pyrolysis of bituminous coals occurred in four steps, the activation energy having an extreme mode of temperature dependence. An important new finding was that the temperature range of the second, major pyrolysis step well corresponded to that between the softening and resolidification temperatures according to Gieseler plastometry, so that the decomposition of bituminous coals at the second step proceeded in a fluid-like medium, moreover, with constant activation energy.

PAN, CTP, and AC are a source of carbon, but each of them plays a specific role. PAN is the basis of carbon fibers and a fiber-forming material, CTP is a technogenic waste added to replace polymer particles, AC is an additive that could increase the carbon content and the porosity of the final fibers. The fibers were obtained using the electrospinning method, which makes it possible to use complex suspensions and obtain fibers of various diameters. PAN:CTP:AC:NiO fibers were obtained.
