The depolymerization reaction of coal in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts in a variety of phenolic and non-phenolic solvents has been investigated. Only the phenoiic solvents were found to be useful in this reaction. Some interesting substituent effects were discovered when the isomeric cres

✦ Synopsis
Hg). Soxhlet extraction of the residue with pyridine was followed by evaporation of the pyridine extracts as described above. The amount of coal converted to a pyridinesoluble product by the heat/tetralin treatment was 97% on a maf basis. The composition of the pyridine-soluble conversion product in terms of preasphaltenes (pyridine-soluble benzene-insoluble), asphaltenes (benzene-soluble, hexaneinsoluble) and oils (hexane-soluble) was 67,2 1.5 and 11.5 wt %, respectively. By comparison, a 40 mm treatment at 427'C of a Kentucky coal in the presence of a hydrogen-donor solvent yielded 93% of pyridine-soluble product which contained generally similar amounts of preasphaltenes, asphaltenes and oils'.
