The reaction mechanisms of the hydroliquefaction of Victorian brown coal are studied. In particular, the catalytic effects of iron and tin-based catalyst systems are investigated. Samples were hydrogenated in a 70 mL rocking autoclave using a 1:1 slurry of coal and tetralin at an initial hydrogen pressure of 1-10 mPa for one hour at 385/sup 0/C. Conversions as a function of reaction temperature and initial hydrogen pressure are presented.
