The reference catalyst that will be used throughout this study is Armak KF-153-S, a NiMo commercial catalyst. The reference liquid will be a 15 wt % mixture of SRC in a coal liquefaction process solvent. One experimental run was conducted to obtain reference data in a two zone reactor. The temperature of both zones was 400/sup 0/C (752/sup 0/F) with a pressure of 10.3 MPa (1500 psig). The liquid volume hourly space time across both zones was 1.9 h with a 20 to 80% space time distribution between the top and bottom zones, respectively. The duration of the experiment was 69 h. Results will be available in the next quarterly report. The emphasis in this research is directed toward hydrotreatment, including hydrocracking, of coal-derived liquids. The heteroatoms present in coal-derived liquids must be reduced; the liquids may require reduction in molecular weight and viscosity and small quantities of inorganic components may need to be reduced.
