Exploratory research on solvent refined coal liquefaction. Final technical progress report, FE/14800-35

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6843878

This report summarizes the technical activity under Contract DE-AC22-79ET14800, Exploratory Research on Solvent Refined Coal Liquefaction, between the US Department of Energy and The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. Experimental work was performed at the Merriam, Kansas laboratory of The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. Six coals and a coal blend, representing the Interior, Rocky Mountain, Eastern and Northern Great Plains Provinces, were processed in the SRC I and SRC II modes to study the relationship between coal properties and liquefaction behavior. Disposable catalysts and specific compounds were added to Loveridge, Kaiparowitz and Blacksville No. 2 coals during SRC II mode liquefaction. Kentucky 9/14, Indiana V and Loveridge coals were processed at short residence times (4 to 9 minutes) in the SRC I mode to evaluate the effects of temperature, pressure, residence time and disposable catalyst addition. Finally, coal from the Powhatan No. 1 Mine was evaluated as a feedstock for major coal liquefaction facilities. 18 figures, 20 tables.
