Comparison of 300 and 700 atm operations in Leuna - 558

Technical Report · Tue Apr 01 04:00:00 EST 1941

OSTI ID:7307576

Tests were done in Leuna and Welheim and the results compared. Explanations of the differences in data were given throughout the report by Dr. Donath, Dr. Hirschberger, Dr. Pier, Dr. Winkler, and Dr. Peters. Such information as specific gravity, percentages to 100/sup 0/ and to endpoint, aniline point, iodine number, percent aromatics by Kattwinkel method and by aniline point, and gasification in Welheim and in the 2 and .2 liter converters at Leuna was given. Pressure at Welheim was 530 atm. The above information was also given according to tar, coal liquefaction, with no gasoline, and coal liquefaction with gasoline. Some advantages of using 700 atm as opposed to 300 atm pressure were the following: saving on rare materials, higher yields, and gasification losses were lower. The 300 atm vapor phase had a 90% yield of automative gasoline and an 83% yield of 87-octane antiknock gasoline. Catalysts 5058, 7019, and 3510 were discussed. The DHD process was a method for the production of aromatic gasoline from different raw materials and was also included in this report. A discussion of the best available method to use for the production of high-test gasolines was given by Dr. Pier. A discussion concerning the choice of the 300 or 700 atm process between Dr. Winkler, Dr. Donath, and Dr. Pier was given.
