Gasification of residual materials from coal liquefaction. Type I evaluation of H-Coal Liquefaction Residue from Illinois No. 6 coal as a feedstock for the Texaco Gasification Processes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5324418
A laboratory evaluation of a 20-pound sample of Vacuum Tower Bottoms from the H-Coal liquefaction pilot plant at Catlettsburg, Kentucky was completed at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory. The sample, which was obtained from the liquefaction of Illinois No. 6 coal, was judged to be a suitable feedstock for the Texaco Gasification Processes. It can be charged directly to the gasifier as a molten fluid at a temperature of about 450/sup 0/F or it may be charged at ambient temperature as a water slurry of ground residue. Based on these results, operating conditions and yields were estimated for gasifying 1000 pounds per hour of molten undiluted residue and for gasifying 1600 pounds per hour of solid residue in a water slurry both at a pressure of 1200 psig.
