Title: Clean gasoline reforming with superacid catalyst

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5902074

Three barrels of a naphtha derived from processing an Illinois {number sign}6 coal during the most recent run at the Wilsonville liquefaction facility were obtained for hydrotreatment in the CAER pilot plant. Both the previously hydrotreated Black Thunder and the virgin Illinois {number sign}6 naphtha were processed in the latest 400 hour run of the CAER pilot plant. The catalyst used for hydrotreatment of the two naphthas was a commercial Ni/Mo catalyst. The Ni/Mo catalyst was sulfided using a mixture of 3 mole {percent} H{sub 2}S in hydrogen. Resulting oxygen and nitrogen content of the naphtha is discussed. 6 figs., 1 tab.
