Solubilities and liquid phase nonidealities in coal liquids. Progress report, Sept 30, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5086630

The purpose of this report is to transmit the results obtained to date in our research effort. The report is the first year progress report to DOE for Grant No. DE-FG22-84PC70784. The research effort is a three year study of the solubilities of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) in organic solvents and the vapor-liquid equilibria of some of these same systems. To date, we have determined the solubilities of 28 systems from room temperature to the melting point of the solute. The systems studied are as follows: acenaphthene, fluorene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene each dissolved in the following solvents: (1) tetralin; (2) decalin; (3) 70% benzene, 30% pyridine; (4) 70% cyclohexane, 30% pyridine; (5) 70% thiophene, 30% pyridine; (6) 70% cyclohexane, 30% thiophene; and (7) 70% benzene, 30% thiophene.
