Catalytic actlvlty of NI-MO sulfide supported on a 96tO4764 particular carbon black of hollow mlcrosphere In the Ilquefactlon of a subbltumlnous coal Sakanishi, K. er al., Energy Fuels, 1996, 10, (l), 216-219. The liquefaction of Wyoming subbituminous coal was investigated with an autoclave of 50 mL capacity, using a carbon black (KB)-suported Ki-Mo catalyst. KB-supported Ni-Mo catalyst gave the oil and oil plus asphaltene yield of 54 and 69% under reaction conditions of 440°C, 60 min, and 13 MPa. These yields were much higher than those of a commercial NiMo/A120, and synthesized FeS, ca&lysts. 96104765 Cataiytlc coal hydrollquefactlon Kanek, T. er al., (Assigned to) Nippon Brown Coal Liquefaction, JAP.

The chemical composltlon of a jet fuel sediment 96104766 formed by mlcroblologlcal actlon Pardede, R. and Batts, B. D. Fuel, Jul. 1996, 75, (9), 1132-1138. Aluminium citrate has been identified as the major component of a sediment formed as a result of microbial degradation of a jet fuel at the fuelwater interface. The structure of the sediment was determined using a combination of wet chemistry, elemental analysis, pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. The sediment sample was insoluble in organic solvents, but soluble in water and dilute base. The methylated derivatives of the sediment were organic solvent soluble and amenable to study using standard techniques. Citric acid and related carboxylic acid compounds were shown to be the principal organic compounds present. 96104769 characterlzatlon Chromatographlc of preasphaltenes In llquefled products from Vlctorlan brown coal Masuda, K. er a[., Fuel, Jul. 1996, 75, (9), 1065-1070. Gel permeation chromatography was applied to the measurement of molecular weight distribution of the preasphaltenes in liquefied products from Victorian brown coal. When -pola; solvents such’ as N:methyl-2-pyrrolidone were used as elution solvents, two major peaks were separately observed at different retention times, reflecting the polarity of their components. By applying a new calibration method to the polar and non-polar components in the preasphaltenes, using a novolak phenol resin and polystyrenes reseectivelv. the molecular weights of both comoonents were estimated to be distributed around 10’. According to the present evaluation, a high liquefaction temperature was found to be effective in reducing the polar components in ihe preasphaltenes I

96104772 Coprocesslng of coal and oil sand bitumen Yoshida, R. et al., Nippon Kagaku Kaishi, 1995, (12), 1013-1017. (In Japanese) Co-processing of coal (Battle River) and oil sand bitumen (Cold Lake) was carried out over Ni-Mo, CO-MO and red-mud/sulphur catalysts at 40045O”C, 22-23 MPa H, and lo-121 min in a 500 mL shaking-type autoclave. The conversion of the coal was 97.1 wt.% (daf) at 450°C for 121 min with Ni-Mo catalyst, and > 95.7 wt.% (daf) at 450°C for 120 min with redmudisulphur catalyst and anthracene oil. The oil sand bitumen was an excellent solvent for liquefaction of the coal compared with anthracene oil.
96104773 Dammar resin: A chemical model for reactlons of Utah reslnlte Dutta, R. and Schobert, H. H. ACS Symp. Ser., 1995, (617), 263-278. The hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and cracking reactions of resinite found in Utah coal are of importance if a coal liquefaction process is to be fully optimized. Dammar resin is very similar in structural composition to Utah resinite, and was used in this study. A series of reactions of various temperatures and times was undertaken and product distributions were analyzed. The polymeric fraction and dammar was deploymered, and dealkylated to naphthalenes and benzenes.
