Progress on US ERDA's coal liquefaction research and development programs is reported. This included operation of the SRC pilot plant to produce 400 tons of specification solvent-refined coal, process development efforts related to the Synthoil process, site selection and engineering for the H-coal process pilot plant, and renovation of the Cresap test facility (for testing components). Research and development studies were carried out on the carbonization step of the clean coke process and on the liquefaction of coal by direct hydrogenation. Studies on solids removal from coal-derived liquids continued. Studies on hydrocarbonization of coal and on the carbonization of residues continued. Studies on the use of coal-derived liquids as feedstocks for the production of organic chemicals continued with distillation fractionation, hydrotreatment and characterization and analysis of samples, products and intermediates.
