Consolidation Coal Research and Development is characterizing samples of direct coal liquefaction process oils based on a variety of analytical techniques to provide a detailed description of the chemical composition of the oils, to more fully understand the interrelationship of process oil composition and process operations, to aid in plant operation, and to lead to process improvements. The approach taken is to obtain analyses of a large number of well-defined process oils taken during periods known operating conditions and known process performance. A set of ten oils from Hydrocarbon Research, Inc., Run 1-19 was analyzed to provide information on the performance of Burning Star No.2 mine (Illinois 6) bituminous coal. A set of eleven oils from HRI Runs 1-22 and 1-23 was analyzed to provide information on the performance of a NiW and a FeMo catalyst in the CTSL process. Thirty-two coprocessing products from tests 1 through 16 of the Signal Research/UOP continuous bench unit were analyzed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (/sup 1/H-NMR) spectroscopy and Fourier-Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to explore the possibility of using aromaticity and phenolic concentration measurements to determine the contributions of the coal and petroleum to the product. Eight boiling-point fractions of the products from UOP's 2 1/2 month continuous coprocessing test were analyzed by carbon isotope mass spectroscopy, /sup 1/H-NMR and FTIR to determine the contributions of the two feedstocks (Lloydminster resid and Illinois 6 coal) to each fraction. 4 refs., 19 figs., 28 tabs.
