The Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center has been involved in assessing the effects of supported-metal catalysts for the hydroprocessing step of Two-Stage Coal Liquefaction for the past two years. The objectives of this program are to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical processes that affect the performance of hydroprocessing catalysts for use with coal liquids and to apply this knowledge to the development of improved catalysts. The work reported in this paper covers two aspects of the research currently in progress at PETC. The first part discusses the results obtained from extensive analysis of spent Shell 324 catalyst from Wilsonville's Run 242 and Lummus' Run 3LCF-9, including activity measurements on the spent and regenerated samples. The second part discusses the results obtained on in-house catalysts where the average pore diameter was varied from 80 to 270A. Also, activity data are presented for Run LCR-35, a Shell 324 catalyst aged to approximately 1100 lb SRC/lb cat. 16 figs., 15 tabs.
