The work reported in the Final Report for DOE Contract DE-AC22-77ET10618 has been continued under the current contract to expand the range of conditions previously studied. This has permitted a more detailed analysis of the variables involved in the hydroliquefaction and hydrogasification of lignite than was possible in the previous report. The principal progress has been a study of the catalytic batch hydroliquefaction of a range of low rank coals including two sub-bituminous coals, four lignites, and leonardite, as well as cellulose. These were studied both as received and after partial demineralization by washing with hydrochloric acid. The study is fully reported in the attached article which has been submitted for publication in a technical journal.
