Research on solvent refined coal. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1, 1981-March 31, 1981

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5906611
This report summarizes progress on the Research on Solvent Refined Coal project by the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co.'s Merriam Laboratory during the first quarter of 1981. Pittsburgh seam coals from the Powhatan No. 3, Powhatan No. 6, McElroy, Robinson Run and a blend of coals from the Powhatan No. 6 and Ireland Mines were evaluated as feedstocks for major liquefaction facilities. Yields and operability with all of these coals were found to be generally satisfactory at normal SRC II operating conditions. In addition, a series of runs was conducted in the SRC II mode with Pittsburgh seam coal from the Powhatan No. 5 Mine at conditions expected to produce high oil yields. Oil yield was increased and SRC yield decreased significantly by increases in pressure, residence time and recycle solids levels over those normally used.
