Hupfer, H; Leonhardt,

The experiments described here were run in a 10-liter hydrogenation oven which was fitted with an outlet for desanding the reaction mixture to keep down the formation of caviar deposits in the oven. The experiments proceeded very well, and the Janina coal proved to be one that was very well suited to hydrogenation because of its relatively low carbon content. The coal gave high yields of products (0.35 kg/liter/hour), low losses to gases (18.6%), and low levels of asphalt formation. Although the fact needed further confirmation in full-scale operations, it seemed that the Janina coal did not require as high a temperature from the preheater as did other coals in order to initiate the reaction (about 400/sup 0/C vs. about 425/sup 0/C). One of the disadvantages of the Janina coal was the fact that its rather large yield of liquid-phase gasoline had lower octane number than that from some other coals (Heinitz coal, for example - about 71 vs. 74). The gasoline contained 33% paraffins, 35% naphthenes, 23% aromatics, and 9% unsaturated compounds. The gasoline contained 11% phenol, whereas the middle oil contained 20.5% phenols. The aniline point of the various dephenolized fractions of gasoline varied from 18.2 to 36.0/sup 0/, whereas the aniline point of the various dephenolized fractions of middle oil varied from -24.5 to -14.0/sup 0/. The solidifying point of the heavy oil was 9/sup 0/C. 7 tables.
