This is a report on an experimental program which has been undertaken to determine the importance of operating variables and raw material properties upon desulfurization via the solvent refining process. This process is being studied in bench scale, high-pressure, high-temperature, rocking-bomb autoclave batch reactors. Initially five variables were studied; temperature, partial pressure of hydrogen, solvent-to-coal ratio, solvent type, and reaction time. The reaction time was determined to be statistically unimportant; anthracene was shown to be the better solvent.
