Ruhr coal (1086) which contained 86.8% carbon, was processed during earlier tests in a 10 liter oven at 600 atm into gasoline and middle oil. As a catalyst, Luxmasse, with a 3% sulfur content, was used. With this catalyst, the activity of which was less than those normally used at that time, (i.e. iron sulfate, Lux- and Bayermasse and sodium sulfide), the coal could be processed without interruption despite the fact that the chlorine content of the run-off water was too high for want of neutralization. The coal decomposed well, but was inferior in yield and vaporization and asphalt-reduction to the younger Gelsenberg coal (K1090). The resulting oils were more aromatic, so that the gasoline showed a higher octane number. In a short test using 1.5% Luxmasse, 0.03% tin oxalate and 0.1% ammonium chloride, a notable improvement in asphalt decomposition was obtained. Yield and vaporization remained the same. Test results and tables were included in the report. The tables gave information on analyses and characteristics of the coals; material balances in the experiments; analyses of the gasoline, middle oil, heavy oil, pasting oil, and diesel oil fractions; analyses of hydrocarbon gases, including organic sulfur content, and analyses of waste water from the processes. 9 tables
