An unreactive hvC bituminous coal has been hydrogenated in a batch-stirred reactor using pyrite, hydrogen sulphide, and pyrite+ hydrogen sulphide as catalysts. The data indicate that H,S is an active homogeneous catalyst for coal liquefaction, and suggest that pyrite may be acting indirectly as a ca

โฆ Synopsis
Many authors have asserted that pyrite is a catalyst for the hydroliquefaction of coal. Catalysis by such a low surface area substance, which is not regenerated, seems doubtful. Evidence is presented suggesting that the H2S, produced from pyrite decomposition, is responsible for the observed catalytic effects.

Catalytic activity of molten tin for coal hydrogenolysis was examined under a wide range of reaction conditions. It wasfound that molten tin catalysed mainly the asphalteneformation reaction. Thecatalyst showed almost no activity in gasification and oil formation. The yield of asphaltene exhibited a
Low-temperature air autoxidation of SRC in quinoline followed by anaerobic thermolysis yields as much as 30% of low-molecular-might (<210) compounds. Preliminary autoxidation of the quinolinesoluble portion of a bituminous coal gave a significant yield of similar low-molecular-weight compounds. Thes
