During February, substantial progress was made on Tasks I, II, and III. Data from 11 recent Rocketdyne hydropyrolysis tests with subbituminous and bituminous coals and 16 recent Cities Service hydropyrolysis tests with subbituminous coal were entered into the computerized data base. The Cities Service data base was expanded to include values for carbon selectivity to BTX. Semiempirical correlations for predicting overall carbon conversion and carbon conversion to gas, methane, CO, and CO/sub 2/ were fitted to the Cities Service and Rocketdyne subbituminous coal data. The analysis showed that the Cities Service bench-scale reactor and the Rocketdyne 1/4-ton/hr reactor give similar values of overall carbon conversion and carbon conversion to gaseous products under comparable operating conditions.
