This research project was concerned with a systematic catalytic cracking investigation of hydrotreated coal-derived liquids and related model compounds found in such liquids. The studies were performed in a flow reactor, using REY-type zeolite-containing catalysts, in particular, Mobil Durabead-8. The following types of starting feedstocks were employed: (1) polycyclic naphthalenes, viz., decalin and perhydrophenanthrene; (2) polycyclic naphthenoaromatics, viz., tetralin, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene and 9,10-dihydro phenanthrene; and (3) hydrotreated SRC-II liquids. Changes in product composition as a function of experimental variables (temperature, space velocity and catalyst type) were investigated and mechanistic aspects of the cracking reactions elucidated. 85 refs., 61 figs., 32 tabs.
