Dealkylation of tar acids from low-temperature lignite tar

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7289905
Describes the results of a study made to test the effectiveness of 11 commercial catalysts at 700/sup 0/ to 1,000/sup 0/F in the production of low-boiling phenols from high-boiling tar acids. While all process variables were not fully examined, data obtained indicate the relative effectiveness of the catalysts tested and are useful in selecting catalysts for optimization of the dealkylation process.
