Coal liquefaction catalyst development. Quarterly progress report No. 3, October 1-December 31, 1979
Catalytic baseline runs continued with HDS-1442A in order to improve our baseline statistics as well as to monitor batch reactor performance. Testing of several new catalyst formulations was completed. No promising candidates for testing in the continuous aging unit were identified. The new SRC-II slurry oil was evaluated as a hydrogen donor liquefaction solvent. Our data indicates that the SRC-II heavy distillate oil is not as effective a hydrogen donor solvent as the hydrogenated anthracene oil. It is possible that the catalyst plays a key role in the thermal liquefaction reactions by improving the hydrogen donor properties of the slurry oil through in-situ hydrogenation. The differences in liquefaction behavior between Illinois No. 6 and Wyodak coal were determined. A major portion of our effort was concerned with ascertaining the liquefaction behavior of a Western coal such as Wyodak with AMOCAT type catalysts. A two-month program to determine the feasibility of using the Amoco continuous aging unit for SRC-I product upgrading was outlined.
