Abstract
Abstract Results of an experimental study to measure the effect of coal-derived solvents on the noncatalytic hydroliquefaction of Wyodak coal have been correlated using a Watson type Characterization Factor (Kw). Solvents with Kw near 7.8 (K)1/3 were the most effective in liquefying Wyodak coal. However, this specific conclusion should not be generalized to all coals. The results of this work suggest the solvent Kw can be a powerful parameter in monitoring solvent effectiveness during continuous operation of a coal-liquefaction plant.
