## Samples of partially dried and oxidized Belle Ayr subbituminous coal were liquefied in a recycle donor solvent (SK-II heavy distillate) to observe the effect of coal pretreatment on conversion. Because subbituminous coals have moisture contents typically > 25%, it would appear useful to dry the

โฆ Synopsis
Samples of Belle
Ayr (WY) subbituminous and Powhatan No. 5 mine (Pittsburgh Seam) bituminous coals were dried with gases including nitrogen, air and nitrogen/air mixture at temperatures essentially from ambient to 200ยฐC as part of a study to measure liquefaction behaviour. While the oxygen uptake of the subbituminous coal was up to 3 wt% and that of the bituminous coal was up to 8 wt%, the physical and chemical characteristics of both coals appeared to undergo only minor changes during treatment. However, CPAA oxygen analysis showed an apparent reaction of water with the coal, and FT-i.r. spectral results showed the formation of carbonyls and carboxylic acids with an indication of the formation of ethers.

A preliminary study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of mixed solvents and added H,S on the overall conversions of a moderately reactive coal (Wyodak-2) as defined by tetrahydrofuran solubility. Conversion efficiencies were measured as a function of time and of H,S concentration in the H,S-tet
