Kwon, K C

Effects of heating rates on liquefaction of Kentucky No. 9 coal were investigated in the presence of both various hydrogen donor solvents and presulfided fresh Shell 324 M 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 and holding liquefaction temperatures at 380/sup 0/C for 0 or 15 min. The main objectives of this study are to investigate effects of heating rates on catalytic activities, to identify interactions between hydrogen donor solvents and catalysts, and to study effects of initial temperatures on deactivation of catalysts in the early stage of liquefying Kentucky No. 9 coal. Another series of coal liquefaction experiments were performed, using Kentucky No. 9 coal and hexadecane as a physical solvent, instead of 1-methylnaphthalene, to investigate interactions between physical solvents and catalytic activities in the early stage of liquefying Kentucky No. 9 coal. 16 figs., 8 tabs.
