Title: A NOVEL APPROACH TO CATALYTIC DESULFURIZATION OF COAL

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7567· OSTI ID:7567

Efforts toward quantitation of the sulfur removed from coal in the reaction Coal(S) + excess PBu3 {yields}heat Coal + SPBu3 /PBu3 by column chromatography of the products followed by weighing the SPBu3 and vacuum distillation of the SPBu3/PBu3 mixture followed by gas chromatographic analysis are described. The first method failed, but the latter is more successful. It has been discovered that para-chloro phenol catalyzes the removal of sulfur from dibenzothiophene by PBu3 under mild conditions.
