β¦ Synopsis
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 these coals prior to liquefaction; however, the drying of Belle Ayr coal, either in nitrogen or oxygen-containing gases, resulted in a significant decrease in yields of liquefied coal products. The liquefaction residues recovered from these runs were examined by optical microscopy and were found to contain high levels of coke. This coke appeared to have formed by polymerization of coal-derived liquid products.

High conversions in Ni-Mo-and NaAlO\*-Ni-Mo-catalysed no-solvent hydrogenation of a low-rank coal were obtained in a 35 mL reactor (1 g coal charge) heated in a horizontal position with vertical agitation. Much lower conversions were obtained in a 55 mL reactor (3 g coal charge) heated in a vertical
Electrophilic ethylation and nitration of Illinois No. 6 coal was carried out using CH3CH2F:SbF, in SOZ at -40Β°C and NO,+ BFq in trimethylphosphate solution at room temperature, respectively. The effect of these substituents on the reactivity of coal under the HF:BF,:H, coal liquefaction system was
