Analyses of various products from Scholven (in German)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6129444
This collection of tables gave data on samples of various products from Scholven which had been sent to Welheim for experimental work and comparisons there. Some of the products were liquid-phase gasoline from (bituminous) coal, liquid-phase middle oils from coal, heavy oils from coal and from pitch, and mixtures of gasoline and middle oil from coal. Some of the types of data collected included densities, boiling-point ranges, viscosities, elemental analyses, ash contents, distribution of hydrocarbon types, aniline points, iodine numbers, etc. As an example of some of the comparative data on heavy oils (boiling above 350/sup 0/C) from coal versus those from pitch, it was listed that the former had density 1.088 vs. 1.102 for the latter. Respective viscosities at 20/sup 0/C were 41/sup 0/ Engler vs 82/sup 0/ Engler. The major differences in chemical composition were in sulfur content (0.136% vs. 0.480% by weight) and in ash content (0.027% vs. 0.001%). The fraction distilled up to 335/sup 0/C (containing gasoline and middle oils) had density 0.934; that part of it which distilled up to 165/sup 0/C had density 0.774 and consisted of 35% (by volume) aromatics and olefins, 39% naphthenes, and 26% paraffins. A sample of middle oil (distilled up to 325/sup 0/C) had density 0.974, and had 15% phenols and 2.6% pyridine. A sample of gasoline (distilled up to 165/sup 0/C) had density 0.735, and had 25% aromatics and olefins, 47% naphthenes, and 28% paraffins. 5 tables.
