Preparation of a group of hydrous oxide ion exchange compounds of Ti, Zn, Nb, and Ta to be used to prepare hydrogenation catalysts by a novel synthesis route involving the exchange of active metals into these compounds has been described. The hydrogenation activity of these materials for slurry phase catalysis of direct coal liquefaction has been investigated. Initial results indicated that these catalysts show promise for potential application to coal liquefaction processes in that the initial activities of the titanates appear to be at least comparable to a commercial catalyst currently used in pilot plant liquefaction studies.
