Coal Liquefaction Via Low Temperature, Low Pressure Water-Gas Shift Solvent Hydrogenation

摘要

Results of laboratory reactor experiments have demonstrated that mixtures of carbon monoxide and water can be reacted with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons at low temperatures and pressures to produce hydroaromatic hydrogen donors. Use of this technique for coal liquefaction process solvent production could eliminate the need for high pressure purified hydrogen and thereby result in substantial savings in plant construction and operating costs. 11 refs., 2 tabs.
