Abstract:Batch autoclave hydrogenolysis of a Saskatchewan lignite has been conducted with CO and H2 mixtures. Conversion, oil yield and the carbon monoxide consumption patterns were measured as a function of reaction temperature (380 — 460°C), initial cold pressure (7.1 — 11.1 MPa), contact time (10 — 50 min), and initial CO/H2 gas composition (1/3 — 3/1 vol. %). The experimental results were obtained following an unreplicated 24 factorial design. Significant models were derived for conversion and the CO consumption pa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
