It is the object of this research to convert coal to clean distillate fuels. This program will be limited to research on the product from existing coal liquefaction processes. Liquefied coal will be converted by a catalytic hydrogenation at elevated temperatures and pressures. Samples of the products from PAMCO, H-oil, COED, and Cresap processes will be obtained. They will be heated and pumped, with and without solvent, into a catalytic reactor in the presence of hydrogen and other reducing gases. Variables to be investigated will include temperatures, pressure, space velocity, hydrogen-to-oil ratio, chemical nature of the solvent. The catalysts to be studied will include nickel molybdate and sulfide, cobalt molybdate and sulfide, nickel tungstate, and other combinations on carriers such as mordanites and other molecular sieve types.
