The work on the development of catalysts capable of converting solvent refined coal (SRC-II), into a feedstock suitable for a conventional petroleum refinery was continued. This requires a process which reduces the nitrogen content from the 1.17% in SRC-II to at least as low as 0.3%. During the quarter a statistical analysis of sixteen combinations of CoO, MoO/sub 3/, NiO and WO/sub 3/ catalysts was completed. The amount of carbon laydown during the hydrotreating-hydrocracking cycle was determined as well as the nitrogen included in that carbon. A commercial cobalt molybdate was evaluated under the hydrotreating-hydrocracking conditions. Several catalyst base materials were obtained to determined the effect of the properties of the base on this process. An electron photomicrograph was prepared on one of our successful catalysts.
