Title: Characterization of coal/waste coprocessing samples from HRI Run POC-2

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/106440· OSTI ID:106440

Coal and waste materials (plastics and rubber) were co-liquefied during Run POC-2 in HRI`s 3 T/D direct liquefaction process development unit under the DOE sponsored Proof-of-Concept program. Analytical characterizations were conducted of well-defined samples from representative periods of the run to provide information on the chemical transformation of these feedstocks and their distribution in product and recycle streams. The characteristics of the products and process streams were dependent on both feedstock changes and operating conditions. Several unusual process oil characteristics were observed when wastes were coprocessed with coal, especially during the coal/plastic operation. Implications of these results for future coal/waste liquefaction development and analytical characterization of the materials are discussed.
