Popis: The catalysts contained 3 wt % NiO and 19.8 wt % MoO/sub 3/. They were tested in a 50/50 mixture of coal-liquid residuum and process-derived solvent at 390/sup 0/C and 2000 psig in a batch autoclave test. The addition of phosphorus has a significant effect on the ability of the catalyst to convert heavy coal liquids into products soluble in cyclohexane. The initial addition of phosphorus pentoxide causes an increase in this conversion, while addition of amounts in excess of 8 wt % reverses the trend and causes the activity to decline to values less than the activity of the phosphorus-free catalyst.
