Recently, considerable effort has been made to develop low cost, highly dispersed iron-based catalysts for direct coal liquefaction (DCL). Most iron-based catalysts studied are in fact the catalyst precursors as the catalysts convert to Fe{sub 1-x}S (pyrrhotite) under DCL reaction conditions. Therefore, a desirable catalyst must be able to maintain its dispersion and transform to an active pyrrhotite phase under DCL reaction conditions.
