Popis: Eight experimental runs were made on the continuous process evaluation unit. The purpose of these runs was to demonstrate system operability and check for approach to steady-state. The stirred tank reactor was used for these runs, and temperature and pressure were varied to initiate a partial factorial examination of the effect of these two variables on conversion. All experimental work on the CO-Steam catalyst evaluation program was completed. Data analysis on the dry filter cake samples is in progress in an attempt to directly determine the amount of unreacted coal remaining after liquefaction. Data analysis on the HDN catalyst screening program was completed and the results are summarized. Ni-Mo catalysts were shown to be superior for HDN of this coal-liquid feedstock. Further work on the reactivity of individual nitrogen compounds was initiated. Work on classification of nitrogen compounds by column chromatography, ligand exchange and gas chromatography continued. Mass spec data on fractions was correlated with data gathered by gas chromatography. Examination of the selectivity for nitrogen removal was initiated for various resins.
