Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) Process: SRC-II processing of Pittsburgh Seam (Ireland and Powhatan No. 6 Mines) coal in PDU P-99. Runs P99-77 to P99-83. Interim report, November 1980-April 1981

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5725070
This report presents the results of seven SRC-II runs (Runs P99-77 through P99-83) made on Process Development Unit P-99 feeding two Pittsburgh Seam coals. The first five runs were made on Ireland Mine coal, while the latter two runs used Powhatan No. 6 Mine coal. Four of these runs (Runs P99-77, -78, -80, and -81) form a 2/sup 2/ factorial experiment to investigate the effect of dissolver L/D ratio and the concentration of 550/sup 0/F- distillate in the feed slurry on yields. The results of this factorial experiment generally confirm conclusions reported previously: (1) dissolver L/D ratio has little effect on yields over the range of L/D ratio studied in this work; and (2) increasing the amount of light distillate in the feed slurry significantly increases the yield of heavy distillate.
