Title: Petroleum resid/coal co-processing feeds and product streams: Chemical and toxicological analysis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7127056

The purpose of this manuscript is to report the preliminary results of the chemical analysis and toxicological testing of feedstock and product samples from two different DOE-funded co-processing technologies, and to compare these results to those obtained from two-stage coal liquefaction materials. Co-processing samples were provided from (a) run 3 of the catalyzed, slurry, single-stage co-processing technology of UOP, Inc., during lined-out operations of plant 558 with a Lloydminster petroleum resid and Illinois No. 6 coal and (b) runs CTS-5 and -6 of the two-stage, close-coupled, Lummus Crest, Inc. (LCI), co-processing pilot plant during lined-out operations with an Arabian heavy petroleum resid and Pittsburgh seam coal. Selected feed and product stream samples were chemically characterized using the following techniques: chemical class fractionation by adsorption column chromatography, gas chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, low-voltage probe-inlet mass spectrometry, field desorption (FD) mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy. The biological activities of selected crude co-processing samples and chemical class fractions were measured using the standard histidine reversion microbial mutagenicity assay and an initiation/promotion assay for tumorigenicity in mouse skin. In addition to feed and product stream comparison of the co-processing samples, the results of the analyses and testing of the co-processing product streams were compared to results from similar analyses of two-stage direct coal liquefaction (TSL) products. 15 refs., 10 figs., 6 tabs.
