Abstract

A process is described for catalytic two-stage hydrogenation and liquefaction of coal with selective extinction recycle of all heavy liquid fractions boiling above a distillation cut point of about 600--750 F to produce increased yields of low-boiling hydrocarbon liquid and gas products. In the process, the particulate coal feed is slurried with a process-derived liquid solvent normally boiling above about 650 F and fed into a first stage catalytic reaction zone operated at conditions which promote controlled rate liquefaction of the coal, while simultaneously hydrogenating the hydrocarbon recycle oils. The first stage reactor is maintained at 710--800 F temperature, 1,000--4,000 psig hydrogen partial pressure, and 10-90 lb/hr per ft[sup 3] catalyst space velocity. Partially hydrogenated material withdrawn from the first stage reaction zone is passed directly to the second stage catalytic reaction zone maintained at 760--860 F temperature for further hydrogenation and hydroconversion reactions. A 600--750 F[sup +] fraction containing 0--20 W % unreacted coal and ash solids is recycled to the coal slurrying step. If desired, the cut point lower boiling fraction can be further catalytically hydrotreated. By this process, the coal feed is successively catalytically hydrogenated and hydroconverted at selected conditions, to provide significantly increased yields of desirablemore »« less

Process options for extinction recycle conversion of heavy oils in catalytic two stage liquefaction

Conference Comolli, A.G.; Johanson, E.S.; McLean, J.B.; ... - Preprints of Papers, American Chemical Society, Division of Fuel Chemistry; (USA)

Hydrocarbon Research, Inc. (HRI) is developing a Catalytic Two-Stage Liquefaction (CTSL) Process which converts coal to distillate liquid products. A particularly attractive feature of the process that has been demonstrated recently using two bituminous coal feedstocks (Illinois No. 6 and Ohio No. 5/6 coals) is the capability to achieve extinction conversion of heavy oil products (heavy vacuum distillate and soluble residuum oil) through integration of coal cleaning, product solids separation, and selective recycle. Yields of distillate oils of up to five barrels per M.A.F. ton of coal have been achieved. Elimination of heavy oils of boiling points above 700-750 Fmore »« less

Patent MacArthur, J.B.; McLean, J.B.; Comolli, A.G.

This patent describes a process for two-stage catalytic hydrogenation of coal to produce low-boiling hydrocarbon liquid and gaseous products. The process consists of: mixing particulate coal and a process-derived recycled hydrocarbon slurrying liquid in a coal slurrying step to provide a flowable slurry, and feeding the slurry at a temperature below about 650{sup 0}F into a pressurized first stage back-mixed catalytic reaction zone containing coal-derived liquid and hydrogen and an ebullated bed of particulate hydrogenation catalyst, the particulate catalyst having effective diameter of 0.030-0.125 inch; passing the coal and hydrogen gas upwardly through the first stage back-mixed ebullated bed ofmore »« less
