Optimization of reactor configuration in coal liquefaction. Sixth quarterly report, January 1--March 31, 1993
The overall objective of the program is to achieve a new approach to liquefaction that generates an all distillates product slate at reduced cost of about $25 per barrel of crude oil equivalent. The quarterly report covers work on Laboratory Support, Laboratory Scale Operations, Technical Assessment, and Project Management. The experimental work undertaken in the sixth quarter was concerned mostly with microautoclave studies on: (1) the ultimate convertibility of Black Thunder Mine Coal using hexahydropyrene as solvent; (2) the reactivity of partially converted Illinois No. 6 coal; (3) the reactivity of resid from Illinois No. 6 coal; (4) the catalytic activity of tin oxide for coal liquefaction. A laboratory scale run for evaluating the three-stage liquefaction and interstage stream concentration concepts has been developed. A two-stage Robinson-Mahoney CSTR reactor system will be used to simulate the above concepts.
