Abstract
Slurries of two, closely related, Victorian brown coal samples in tetralin (1:3) were reacted with hydrogen in a continuous reactor system both with and without the addition of iron and iron-tin-based catalysts. The conversion to liquid products was greater when the catalysts were ion-exchanged onto the coal rather than being added as powders and the previously observed trend of iron/tin giving greater conversion than iron was exhibited. Increased temperature and residence time increased the oil yield.
