The objective of this task is to utilize the continuous-flow bench-scale coal liquefaction reactor system at CSM to investigate the rate of reaction of different coals at different processing conditions. Particularly, reaction rates at short residence times are to be measured in a Continuous Flow Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), and this information used to model reactions in the Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) section of the unit. Work during the past 6 months has focused on completing modifications to the unit itself, as the bench-scale system was originally designed to be operated at residence times just under 30 minutes. The new …

Description
The objective of this task is to utilize the continuous-flow bench-scale coal liquefaction reactor system at CSM to investigate the rate of reaction of different coals at different processing conditions. Particularly, reaction rates at short residence times are to be measured in a Continuous Flow Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), and this information used to model reactions in the Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) section of the unit. Work during the past 6 months has focused on completing modifications to the unit itself, as the bench-scale system was originally designed to be operated at residence times just under 30 minutes. The new residence times are to be, at the least, just less than 6 minutes. The experimental portion will be a comparative study of the effect of different processing conditions on the rate of coal liquefaction. During the past six months, work on the continuous unit has been confined to modifications and system tune-up.
