This book was released on 1993 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Research and Development Department of CONSOL Inc. (CONSOL) is conducting a program to characterize process and product streams from direct coal liquefaction process development projects sponsored by the Department of Energy. In this program, CONSOL obtains samples from current process development activities in coal liquefaction and coal-oil coprocessing, and characterizes them using established analytical techniques. In addition, selected samples are characterized by other analytical techniques to evaluate their potential for aiding process development. These analyses and interpretation of the results in relation to process operations are provided by the subcontractor. Major topics reported in this fifteenth quarterly report are the following: (1) the status of the Participants Program is described, trips were made to The Pennsylvania State University and the University of Delaware for the purpose of establishing teaming arrangements, the trip reports are appended; (2) a description of work in progress in included, (3) two papers are appended. One of these papers describes work performed under subcontract in Phase 1 of the Participants Program by the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research. The second paper describes stable carbon isotope analysis of coprocessing materials. Both papers were accepted for publication in Fuel.
