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 catalyt

โฆ Synopsis
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 catalytic agent via H2S release.

The work reported here represents initial attempts to develop a complete kinetic and mechanistic understanding of the reaction chemistry of H,S under coal liquefaction conditions, using both model systems and coal. Hydrogen sulphide was found to promotejcatalyse the transfer of hydrogen from tetrali
The purpose of this work was to determine the effects of surface area variations of iron sulphides on coal liquefaction. Several iron sulphides were synthesized including pyrites (Fe!&) with 46.6 wt% Fe, pyrrhotites (Fe,.,S) with -60 wt% Fe and irortsulphur compounds of unknown composition. Surface
The hydrogenation and dehydrogenation kinetics of pyrene and hydropyrenes were studied in batch microreactors, both with and without catalyst, as a function of time, temperature, pressure and catalyst concentration. Under catalytic conditions at 648 K and-dihydropyrene and pyrene reached equilibriu
