Reactivity of heteroatom-containing organics during liquefaction of subbituminous coal: Quarterly technical progress report, September 15, 1987-December 15, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5702121
The objective of this research project is to provide a greater understanding of the role of heteroatom-containing species in coal reactivity during liquefaction. Work during the last quarterly report period focused on evaluating previous results, and discussing and planning the reaction conditions and experiments for subsequent tests. Tubing bomb reactions for the preparation of 500 to 1000 mg quantities of deuterated heteroatom-containing species to be used as tracers in liquefaction tests are scheduled for January, 1988. Following these syntheses, and the preparation of 20 grams of 99% isotopically pure, deuterated A04 liquefaction solvent, work will focus on completion of a tubing bomb liquefaction test matrix.
