Role of sulfur compounds in coal liquefaction
In order to elucidate the role of organic sulfur compounds and sulfur minerals in the hydrogen atom transfer reactions that are so essential in successful coal liquefaction processes, the influence of sulfur-containiing compounds on the exchange reaction between tetralin-d/sub 12/ and diphenylmethane was investigated. The catalytic activity of aromatic and aliphatic thiols and thioethers as well as some metal sulfides is reported. The cocatalysts metal sulfide-hydrogen sulfide and metal sulfide-phenol were studied. The impact of representative catalysts upon the rate of decomposition of 1,3-diphenylpropane and upon the rate of liquefaction of Illinois No. 6 coal in tetralin was examined. (BLM)
