The objective of this research is to convert coal to clean distillate fuels. This program will be limited to research on the product of PAMCO's solvent refined coal (SRC-II). The SRC 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 temperature, pressure, space velocity, hydrogen-to-oil ratio and chemical nature of the solvent. The catalysts to be studied will include nickel molybdate and sulfide, nickel tungstate and other combinations on carriers such as mordanites and other molecular sieve types. Sixteen catalysts comprising each possible four metal combination of 2 and 4% CoO, 2 and 8% MoO/sub 3/, 1 and 4% NiO and 2 and 8% WO/sub 3/ were fabricated on the same base material, tested with SRC-II and the results analysed statistically. All of these catalysts gave specification denitrogenation, only a change in the concentration of CoO had a small but significant effect. Analyses of products were completed on the evaluation of the nonpromoted base material as well as the T.C.C. cracking catalyst. They confirmed the conclusion stated in our previous report that these catalysts are incapable of effecting sufficient denitrogenation to meet our goals.
