Coal liquefaction study under the nonisothermal reaction temperature. Quarterly progress report, April-June 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5652312
Effects of heating rates on liquefaction of Kentucky No. 9 coal were investigated in the presence of both various hydrogen donor solvents and ammonium molybdate catalyst as part of Task 2. A series of coal liquefaction runs were conducted for Kentucky No. 9 coal, increasing coal liquefaction temperatures from 200/sup 0/C or 300/sup 0/C up to 380/sup 0/C. The main objectives of this study are to investigate effects of heating rates on catalytic activities of homogeneous ammonium molybdate catalyst, to understand interactions between hydrogen donor solvents and homogeneous catalyst, and to study effects of initial temperatures on homogeneous catalysts in the early stage of liquefying Kentucky No. 9 coal. 19 figs., 5 tabs.
