Enhanced catalysis by solvent improvement. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 January 1983-31 March 1983. [304 references]
The objectives of this contract are to conduct exploratory coal liquefaction research on modified solvents with slurry phase catalysts and on coal pretreatment. This report describes a review of the existing literature as well as currently on-going research in the areas of: (1) solvent quality effects on coal liquefaction; (2) role of heteroatoms in liquefaction of coal; (3) heteroatoms removal through solvent treatment, extraction and hydrogenation; (4) slurry phase catalysts in hydroprocessing of coal; and (5) effect of coal preparation and pretreatment on liquefaction. The review encompasses both technical papers and presentations as well as the patent literature. This report is comprised of two distinct parts. In Part I all the literature available on the effect of solvent quality, heteroatoms, heteroatoms removal, and slurry phase catalysts on coal liquefaction is incorporated. The existing literature and currently on-going research in the areas of the effect of coal pretreatment and preparation on coal conversion are presented in Part II of this report. 304 references.
