Coal liquefaction study under the nonisothermal reaction temperature. Quarterly progress report, July-September 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7248863
Effects of heating rates on liquefaction of Kentucky No. 9 coal were investigated in the presence of various hydrogen donor solvents and powdery NiMo/alumina catalyst as part of Task 2. A series of coal liquefaction runs were conducted for Kentucky No. 9 coal, increasing coal liquefaction temperatures from 200/sup 0/C or 300/sup 0/C up to 380/sup 0/C. The main objectives of this study are to: investigate effects of heating rates on catalytic activities of powdery NiMo/alumina catalyst; understand roles of hydrogen donor solvents; study effects of initial liquefaction temperatures on coal liquefaction; and evaluate effects of hydrogen donor solvents on product distributions in the early stages of liquefying Kentucky No. 9 coal in the presence of powdery NiMo/alumina catalyst at nonisothermal liquefaction temperatures. 18 figs., 5 tabs.
