摘要:
A process for reducing the sulfur and ash content of coal comprising the steps of:(1) contacting coal particles containing ash and iron pyrite mineral matter with a promoting amount of at least one conditioning agent capable of modifying or altering the existing surface characteristics of the pyrite under conditions to effectuate alteration or modification of at least a portion of the contained pyritic sulfur;(2) agglomerating the coal particles while said surfaces are altered or modified in an aqueous medium with hydrocarbon oil; and(3) recovering coal hydrocarbon oil agglomerates wherein the coal exhibits reduced sulfur and ash content.

A process for reducing the sulfur content of coal comprising the steps of:(1) contacting coal particles with(i) a silicate selected from the group consisting of alkali metal silicates, alkaline earth metal silicates and mixtures thereof, and(ii) a promoter material capable of oxidizing or reducing equilibrium sulfur reaction products formed by the contacting to non-equilibrium reaction products in an aqueous medium to reduce the sulfur content of coal; and(2) recovering coal particles of reduced sulfur content.
摘要:
A process for reducing the sulfur and ash content of coal wherein coal particles are treated with a conditioning agent in an aqueous slurry prior to agglomeration with a minor amount of hydrocarbon oil. After separation of the coal-oil agglomerate from ash and mineral matter remaining in the aqueous slurry, additional oil is added to provide a slurry of coal particles in hydrocarbon oil. Agglomeration of remaining ash and mineral matter is effected by addition of a minor amount of water. After separation of the mineral agglomerate and recovery from the oil slurry, treated coal particles are substantially reduced in ash and sulfur content.

A process for reducing the sulfur content of coal comprising:(1) contacting an aqueous slurry of coal-oil agglomerates at elevated temperature with oxygen; and(2) recovering coal-oil agglomerates wherein the coal has reduced sulfur content.
摘要:
This invention provides a method for reducing the amount of oil required to form coal-oil agglomerates comprising the steps of (a) forming a slurry of water and coal particles; (b) contacting the slurry with an amount of hydrocarbon oil to form coal-oil agglomerates; (c) contacting said agglomerates with an additional amount of coal particles to form coal-oil agglomerates of a desired size; and (d) recovering coal-oil agglomerates of reduced oil content.
摘要:
A method for preparing an improved composition of matter whereby a solid catalyst comprising alumina derived from hydrous alumina predominating in alumina trihydrates and at least one platinum group component is used in hydrocarbon conversion service for a period of time to reduce the surface area of said solid catalyst to from about 20% to about 90% of the surface area of the original solid catalyst. This decreased area solid catalyst is treated with at least one metal promoter to produce a treated catalyst having improved properties. An improved method for hydrocarbon conversion using this treated catalyst is also disclosed.
