Coal technology program quarterly progress report for the period ending December 31, 1976

Technical Report · Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 EST 1977

OSTI ID:7113937

This quarterly report covers the progress made during the period October 1 through December 31 for research and development projects carried out in support of the increased utilization of coal as a source of clean energy. These projects are supported by the ERDA Divisions of Coal Conversion and Utilization, Major Facility Project Management, Materials and Exploratory Research, Physical Research, and Biomedical and Environmental Research, and by the EPA Office of Research and Development through interagency agreement with the ERDA. The report is divided into the following sections: hydrocarbonization research; residue carbonization; engineering support of in-situ gasification; alkali metal vapor tapping cycles; materials and components testing (especially pressure wrench and pipe and nondestructive testing); analysis of processes and programs; chemical research and development; environmental effects and biological effects of by-products, liquid and gaseous wastes, etc. (LTN)
