Catalytic hydrogenation of SYNTHOIL
Kenneth Norman Runnion · Montana State University ScholarWorks (Montana State University) · 1977
Catalytic hydrogenation of ERDA's SYNTHOIL liquified coal was achieved using commercial hydrotreating catalysts.Twenty-five catalysts were tested in rocking bomb autoclave tests.Successful operation of a continuous reactor was demonstrated with eight catalysts.The products were analyzed for hydrocracking by ASTM distillation.Heteroatom removal was determined by the quartz tube method for sulfur and Macro-Kjeldahl for nitrogen.
