This quarterly report, for the period July 1-September 30, 1982, summarizes Sandia's activities in coal liquefaction process research. The overall objectives of the program are to understand the mechanisms and determine the role of catalysts in the direct conversion of coal to liquids. Primary emphasis is being given to the Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction (ITSL) process. Specific tasks include: short-contact time coal liquefaction, mineral matter effects and catalyst studies. During this period, work was done on: the interconversion of coal-derived materials; the kinetics of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of pyrene and dihydropyrenes in batch microreactors; the effect of various solvents on Wyodak coal dissolution; activity testing of titanate slurry catalyst in batch microreactors; characterization of aged catalyst from two Lummus pilot plant runs; and activity testing of the aged Lummus catalyst. Three appendices have been entered individually.
