โฆ Synopsis
Coal can be converted into a material soluble in solvents using methanol as an in-situ hydrogen source and also as an alkylating agent. This paper presents the results of the reaction of selected model compounds with methanol using two different hydrogenation catalysts: stabilized nickel at 365X, and stabilized cobalt at 405ยฐC and 445ยฐC. Stabilized nickel is a much better hydrogenation catalyst than stabilized cobalt. The alkylation reaction is strongly dependent on the presence of specific functional groups (-OH, -NH, etc). Also, the alkylation reaction appears to be independent of the hydrogenation catalyst used and it seems to depend more on the temperature. The alkylated products from the reactions at 405ยฐC showed an order as follows: carbazdle> phenol> phenanthrene>dibenzofuran> diphenylether> dibenzothiophene> diphenylmethane. A free radical mechanism is proposed for the alkylation reaction.

Coals were liquefied in a 50 ml autoclave using hydrogen produced from methanol with decomposition and hydrogenation catalysts under various conditions. The conversion increased with increasing reaction temperature and time. This reaction is more suitable for the liquefaction of lower-rank coals. Th
