Abstract
The performance indices which enabled us to classify the different hydroaromatic solvents used in coal hydroliquefaction also made it possible to quantify the two decomposition mechanisms of benzylphenylether (BPE) in the presence of various catalysts. The mechanism is purely ionic at 250 °C with Lewis acids, such as SnCl 2 and ZnCl 2. At this temperature, the influence of pyrite is negligible, whereas pyrrhotite shows a substantial catalytic effect because 37% of BPE is already decomposed by equal contributions of ionic and radical mechanisms.
