Coals from Prussian mines considered for Blechhammer were compared contentwise with samples from Castellengo-Abwehr (K1174). Although chlorine, bitumen, and ash content were similar to K1174, available volatiles and basic tars were better, but not as good as that coal from Gelsenberg (K1090). Tables presented most important results of tests in which coal from Prussian mines contrasted/compared with K1174 and K1090. Included in the material were the following: test procedure; test runs, tables of comparisons and analyses. Tests on Upper Silesian coal K1174, Castellengo-Abwehr, in comparison to K1160 (Prussian mines), showed it to be inferior for hydrogenation, as it contained too little volatile substances and too much O/sub 2/. K1160 did not decompose, but required a temperature increase of 2/sup 0/C over the standard temperature of 470/sup 0/C to give a satisfactory yield. Carbon content was considered relative to procedure for hydrogenation or not. Phenol content of gasoline and middle oils from these coal beds were indicated to be less than Gelsenberg products. Tests were conducted using titanium alloy as catalyst for hydrogenation of these coals. Titanium had proved better than a carbonization coke (grude)-iron catalyst in processing bituminous coal tar. Anticipating a good result, a short test was carried out using a titanium--grude-iron combination. In a test period of about fourteen days, a certain deterioration of the catalytic effect was noticed, when grude-iron and titanium were used in place of the Bayermasse catalyst. It was decided that titanium was no improvement and grude-iron--titanium was no good in processing the coal either. 14 tables.
