This is the second quarterly technical report for a project designed to extend our understanding of coprocessing reactions. More specifically, this research is concerned with development of chemical analytical procedures needed to distinguish between materials and compounded classes in the coprocessing products which are derived from the petroleum resid, the coal, or both. Carbon isotope ratios have been used to determine the relative contributions of coal and resid to various coprocessing fractions where the fractions were produced by distillation or solubility fractionation. In the current project, the carbon isotope technique will be utilized with chemical compound type fractionations which have been developed at NIPER. These comprehensive separation techniques will be used initially with coprocessing samples produced in-house with a 2-liter batch autoclave. Later in the project, these techniques will be applied to samples produced on process development units operated by other DOE contractors. 1 ref., 3 tabs.
