The overall objective of this project is to develop a fundamental understanding of the reactions occurring at the onset of coke formation during the co-processing of coals with petroleum residua. The specific objectives include the examination of chemical components, or groups of components, in coals and petroleum feedstocks to quantify and rank the effects of these components on retardation or enhancement of coke formation. The work involves bench scale reactions in microautoclaves, supplemented by optical microscopy of carbonaceous residues and instrumental analyses such as FTIR and /sup 13/C NMR. During this reporting period the objectives of the work were to obtain baseline FTIR and /sup 13/C NMR spectra of the coals to be used in the project, and to obtain samples of petroleum residua for use in the project. It was also intended to begin separation of the petroleum residua by sequential elution by solvents chromatography (SESC).
