Second-stage hydrocracking, aimed at 100 percent conversion of low nitrogen H-Coal liquid to naphtha, was concluded with studies at 500 psig above base pressure. An attempt to hydrocrack rerun H-Coal atmospheric bottoms to fuel oil in a single-stage recycle operation was not successful. Maximum conversion to fuel oil was below 100 percent. Second-stage hydrocracking of a 600/sup 0/F/sup +/ fraction of H-Coal hydrocrackate over UOP-DCB catalyst showed no significant conversion to fuel oil. Similar operation over UOP-HCA catalyst indicate that 100 percent conversion of 600/sup 0/F/sup +/ liquid to fuel oil was attained. Work on evaluating the activity of three commercial UOP catalysts for hydrogenating the H-Coal distillate was completed. A hydrotreating catalyst has been selected for FCC studies. Platforming runs with upgraded EDS process naphtha and two H-Coal hydrocracked naphthas have been completed.
