(In Japanese) To isolate the effect of non-covalent bonding on coal liquefaction. two kinds of alkylated coals (0-alkylated and reductively alkylated) were reacted. The yield from the liquids of alkylated coal decreased compared with yields from the raw coal. However, TGA measurements of the THF-insoluble fractions suggested that a depolymerization reaction proceeded for reductively alkylated coal. in comparison with reactions of the raw coal.

(In Japanese) Prior to coprocesstng coals from Illinois, Montana. and Wyoming were agglomerated with Athnhasca bitumen vacuum hottoms. The parent coals and neat and deoiled agglomerates were then liquefied in the presence of additional bitumen (as a solvent) and Fe& catalyst at IO MPa Hz. The hitumen used for agglomeration was effective for ash removal. with coal more than 95 wtri. hut the bitumen was not useful for coal swelling.

Sekirurl Kogoku Knigi Huppyo Ronhwrhu. I9Y.7. 30, 23-X. Alda. T. (‘I f/l., (In Japanese) This paper examines the effect of the pre-treatment of coal (so-called ‘coagel’) swollen hy various hydrogen-donors on the primary liquefaction in order to develop efficient coal liquefaction processes. The liquefaction using a binary system (in-situ coal-gel formation), such as YO:lO TetralinNMP. achieved almost complete soluhilization upon pyridine extraction. In addition, a coal-gel whtch was prepared hy swelling a coal with a reduced coal-tar pitch-THF solution followed by removal of THF. gave 85-92?/r pyridine sols. for subbituminous and bituminous coals. One of the characteristic features of the latter liquefaction process is that a high conversion was obtained without the use of an autoclave (under atmosphere pressure) and stirring.

The Fischer-Tropsch reaction with supported ruthenium catalysts: modeling and evaluation of the reaction rate equation for a fixed bed reactor
97100207
Everson. R. C. et ul., A&. Catcrl., A 1996. 142. (2). 223-241. The development of a mathematical model for a non-isothermal fixed-bed reactor with supported Ru catalyst for the conversion of synthesis gas is examined and the test results reported. A two-dimensional pseudohomogeneous model with the well-known power law for the reaction rate was found to he suitable after consideration of all the possible transport mechantsms occurring under conditions favouring the formation of useful gaseous, liquid and solid (waxes) hydrocarbons. The reaction rate was evaluated by a non-linear regression technique to demonstrate the validity of the equation and the associated constants for a fixed hed. It was found that the hydrogenation and/or polymerization reactions occurring along the length of the fixed bed reactor influenced the reaction rate constants for the conversion of carbon monoxide. whereas. the reaction rate constants for the formation of methane remained unaffected when compared with results obtained from a differential bed reactor. The reaction rate constants arc given for the formation of a light C1 ,-gas fraction

Hydrogen transfer in liquefaction 97/00210 torian brown coal. Effects of reaction time, pressure
(In Japanese) The effects of addition of pyrrhotite and sulfur on hydrogen transfer in liquefaction of Taiheiyo coal were investigated using tritium and “S tracer methods. With the pyrrhotite catalyst, the addition of hydrogen to coal and liquefaction products increased with the addition of sulfur. A part of added the sulfur participated in the sulfur exchange reaction with the pyrrhotite catalvst.
Okuma, 0. er ul., Sekmrr Kagakn Kuigi Happo R~mhumhrr. IYY4. 31, X?X6. (In Japanese) Discusses the effects of reaction time, temperature and pressure on the liquefaction reaction of Victorian brown coal in the presence of iron/sulfur catalyst from the viewpoint of the hydrogen transfer. The amount of transferred hydrogen from both solvent and H? to total products (H(t)) represented the progress of the liquefaction reaction. The hydrogen transferred from the solvent played an important role under the conditions of lower Hz pressure and shorter time. Optimum conditions were found for efficient hydrogen consumption hy means of distillate yield/H(t).

In this paper the partial oxidation of methane to methanol was conducted homogeneously in a non-isothermal reactor that contained a nonpermselective membrane. The membrane provided a uniform flow distribution and separated the hot reactor wall from a cooling tuhe located in the centre of the reactor. The cold region in the reactor rapidly quenched further reaction. The selectivity for CH?OH formation at 4.6% conversion increased from 34 to 52% when quenching was used. The highest yield
