Two catalysts were assessed for their ability to remove S and N from coal-derived liquids. Catalyst SIV-III (cobalt-molybdenum-on-alumina) proved to be relatively good for denitrogenation of a raw anthracene oil. Nalcomo 474 catalyst (cobalt-molybdenum-on-alumina) revealed excellent desulfurization but rather rapid loss in denitrogenation activity using an FMC oil at 800/sup 0/F, 1500 psig. A catalyst life test unit has been designed; equipment has been ordered and construction is underway. A field ionization unit for the CEC 21-110B mass spectrometer has been constructed and is being made routinely operational. Results from separation and analysis of reactor products and feedstock reveal the increased complexity of composition resulting from hydrogenation--hydrogenolysis reactions. (auth)
