Point of Ayr coal has been extracted using three solvents, tetralin, quinoline and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at two temperatures 350 and 450 o C, corresponding approximately to before and after the onset of massive covalent bond scission by pyrolysis. The three solvents differ in solvent power and the ability to donate hydrogen atoms to stabilise free radicals produced by pyrolysis of...
We have previously observed that primary coal extracts recovered from the flowing solvent reactor appeared to be of large molecular mass. Short residence times in the reaction zone following the solubilisation of the extracts tended to limit their thermal degradation. This observation offered the vista of detailed characterisation and analysis of most (∼80–90%) of the coal mass in solution-and in...
A sample of Point of Ayr coal extract has been hydrocracked in a microbomb reactor with NiMo on alumina catalyst in tetralin as solvent and hydrogen donor and under hydrogen pressure. The product was separated from solvent and catalyst and then split into equal parts and stored either under nitrogen atmosphere in a freezer or in air at room temperature. Samples of the products were examined at 2h...
