43. Catalitic effect of Cu(OH)_2 upon liquefaction for Taiheiyo coal (1) : Effect of catalyst of Cu(OH) and its related compounds on liquefaction rate

Abstract

Cu(OH) is easily decomposed thermally and reduced into copper through cupric oxide below 300℃ in the atmosphere of hydrogen. Supposing that some active catalytic species may be formed in the process of decomposition, the rate of liquefaction is examined by using Cu(OH)_2 and its decomposed compounds, CuO (II), Cu O (I) and Cu, as catalyst.
