Summary:
The Elkhorn (Kentucky) coal sample, referred below as EH(KY) coal, had the following ultimate analysis (MAF basis), in wt %: C, 85--36; H, 5.69; N, 1.75; Cl, 0.18; S, 0.72; 0 (diff) 6.30. H/C atomic ratio - 0.80; ash content (dry basis), 6.60 %. The sample showed a calorific value of 14,324 BTU/ib (dry basis). As indicated by its ultimate analysis and calorific value, the EH(Ky) coal was of somewhat higher rank as compared with the previously studied HVB coal sample from Burning Star (Illinois no. 6). The EH (Ky) coal was subjected to the previously developed stepwise depolyermization-liquefaction procedure summarized in Figure 1 [for details see J. Shabtai, T. Skulthai and I. Saito, Am. Chem. Soc. Div. Fuel Chem. Prepr., 31 (4), 15--23 (1986)]. The procedure consists essentially of the following sequential steps: (1) Intercalation of the coal sample with catalytic amounts (5--20 %) of FeCl₃, followed by mild hydrotreatment (HT) of the coal-FeCl₃ intercalate; (2) base-catalyzed depolymerization (BCD) of the product from step 1, under super-critical conditions; and (3) hydroprocessing (HPR) of the depolymerized product from the two preceding steps, using a sulfided 6Co8Mo catalyst. A systematic study was carried out with the purpose of determining the optimal range of processign conditions for EH (Ky) coal in each step of the above sequential procedure.
