Molecular catalytic coal liquid conversion. Quarterly status report, [January--March 1996]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:353018
In this quarter, the work was focused on the hydrogenation of polycondensed aromatic compounds and the preparation of manuscripts for the literature and the comprehensive final report of the research work for the Department of Energy. With the hydrogenation of polycondensed aromatic compounds, the experimental results indicated that naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene and chrysene and 1,2-benzanthracene can be all hydrogenated to the corresponding monoaromatic compounds with hydrogen catalyzed by potassium is(trimethylsilyl)amide. In all cases, the conversions are very high. This provide an effective pathway to reduce the polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons.
