Progress in each task area is reported. In Task 1 additional elemental distribution data were obtained for a used catalyst. Experiments on the effect of toluene extraction of organic solubles using this catalyst demonstrated that no significant alteration of the concentration of major elements or sulfur occurs. Characterization of additional samples of new catalyst and of used catalyst from a series of three SYNTHOIL reactor runs is reported. Surface areas of toluene-extracted catalyst from three positions in each reactor were 50 to 90 percent of that of new catalyst and the surface areas for each run decreased with downstream position of the samples. The batch autoclave apparatus for Task 2 has been assembled and readied for checkout. Coal samples to be used in the initial screening study have been obtained and their proximate and ultimate analyses are reported. Analytical capabilities for determination of viscosity and sulfur content of SYNTHOIL products and for quantitative analysis of the mineral content of coals have been established. The design of the Task 3 bench scale reactor is complete and further design details are presented. Caslculations of liquid residence time have been performed for three assumed flow models and these data were used to design a sample collection system suitable for determining average residence time and residence time distribution.
