Abstract
Hydrotreating of a blend of 25 percent SRC (derived from Miike Coal) and 75 percent Creosote Oil has been studied using batch autoclave under the various conditions. The result obtained here can be summarized as follows
1) HI and BI conversions increase with an increase in reaction temperature, time and hydrogen initial pressure. Polymerization reaction of products, observed in the hydrotreating of SRC without solvent, is not observed in this study.
2) Sulfur removal is from 65 to 90 percent and Nitrogen removal is from 10 to 28 percent.
3) Yield of light fraction can be increased by using hydrogen donor solvent.
4) Ni/Mo/Al2O3 catalyst is the most effective for hydrogenation of this filtrate, but Co/Mo/Al2O3 is better for sulfur removal.
