The objective of this project is to develop thermally stable, poison-tolerant catalysts that will be effective under moderate conditions in the hydrogenation or hydrodenitrogenation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles typical of coal liquids. The hydrogenation of model compounds, model compound mixtures and coal liquids will be carried out using the new class of catalysts, metallophthalocyanines (M(PC)). The catalysts to be used are supported on silica (M(PC))/SiO/sub 2/; where m = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg, Pb, Sn, Mo, Rh, Rd, Pt, Os, Ir. The initial screening of the catalysts is being done using quinoline as a substrate at 300 to 400/sup 0/C and pressure of 1000 to 3000 psi H/sub 2/. Preliminary results are reported. The most effective catalysts will be selected and used in hydrogenation of other model compounds like pyridine, indole, carbazole and acridine, in the hydrogenation of model compound mixtures and then coal liquids. The model compound mixture to be used consists of phenanthrene, dibenzothiophene, dibutylsulphide, quinoline, dibenzofuran and p-cresol. Coal liquids from the H-Coal process will be subjected to hydrotreating. Additional supported catalysts have been prepared by the impregnation of silica (Cab-o-sil MS-7 or HS-5) with a solution of (M(PC)) in pyridine or concentrated sulfuric acid. Using a loading level of 1 g (M(PC))/5 g SiO/sub 2/, new catalysts were prepared with M = Ag, Pt, Cr, V, Al, Ru, Pb.
