Title: Preparation of a coal-conversion-systems technical data book. Quarterly report, May 1-July 31, 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5387087

The data reported by Van Krevelen and co-workers on the NH/sub 3/-CO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/O system were analyzed using Meissner's treatment of ionic activity coefficients. Meissner's method is more easily adaptable to the quarternary (NH/sub 3/-CO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/S-H/sub 2/O) system or to mixtures containing still more electrolytes, such as chloride and cyanide, than our previous approach. Vapor-liquid equilibrium data for 15 binary systems, consisting of light gas and pure coal liquid components, are presented in a convenient-to-use form. We have also presented solubility data on hydrogen in creosote oil and SRC (Solvent Refined Coal) recycle solvent. Thermodynamic properties of benzene are presented in a new convenient-to-use steam table format in both the SI and English units. A report prepared by the University of Oklahoma on Calculation of Distillable-Coal-Fluid Thermophysical Properties is reproduced for review and comments. A rate expression, developed from available data in literature, is presented for the carbon-carbon dioxide reaction. An assay developed by a Pennsylvania State University group for liquefaction properties of coal is evaluated. Analysis of slurry preheater data from the SRC pilot plant at Wilsonville, Alabama is described. The data cover a set of runs after new thermocouples were installed. The effect of the presence of coal and hydrogen in the slurry on the bulk fluid temperature is examined. Examples demonstrating the use of recommended correlations for dilute-phase pneumatic transport of solids are given in this report. The effluents (gas, liquid, and solid) generated by coal liquefaction processes are described.
