In a 10 liter oven, old coals were processed for gasoline and middle oil at 300 atmospheres with tin oxalate and chlorine. The processing presented no difficulty, and corresponding to carbon content, was about 10 to 20% worse in results than those of young coals respective to yield and losses to gas. Tests were run at 600 atm in the 10 liter oven, using iron catalyst, to produce heating oil only (heavy-oil excess). To some extent older and younger Gelsenberg coals presented similar figures, for example, percentage of carbon in raw coal: for old, 86.8 and young 83.5; decomposition of old, 94% and of young, 96%. Yields for gasoline and heating oil were 0.40 from the old, and 0.50 from the younger. The figures stemmed from earlier tests on heating oil and did not seem as favorable as tests conducted later. Generally, processing older coals of 87% to 88% carbon content presented no problems for heating oil production. 1 table
