Abstract
Abstract A heavy hydrocarbon feedstock is upgraded by at least one of the processes of desulfurization, decreasing carbon residues, increasing API gravity, and liquefaction of solid feedstock by reacting the feedstock at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of carbon monoxide and in the presence of a catalytically active metal. In one embodiment the active metallic catalyst is associated with minor amounts of alkali or alkaline earth metals to minimize promotion of cracking side reactions. In a preferred embodiment a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock is upgraded in the presence of the catalyst system formed from a barium salt which has been deposited on cobalt molybdate dispersed on an alumina support.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for liquefying coal in which the coal is slurried in anthracene oil, said method comprising contacting said coal anthracene oil slurry with a catalytically active metal selected from the group consisting essentially of molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, and iron promoted with a barium compound in the presence of carbon monoxide at a temperature in the range of 675° to 720°F and a pressure in the range of about 1,000 to about 5,000 psig for a time sufficient to carry out the process of liquefaction of the coal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for liquefying coal in which the coal is slurried in anthracene oil, said method comprising contacting said coal anthracene oil slurry with a catalytically active metal selected from the group consisting essentially of molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, and iron promoted with a barium compound in the presence of carbon monoxide at a temperature in the range of 675° to 720°F and a pressure in the range of about 1,000 to about 5,000 psig for a time sufficient to carry out the process of liquefaction of the coal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the catalytically active metal is present as cobalt molybdate and the barium compound is present as barium oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said catalytically active metal is associated with an aluminum catalytic support material which comprises from about 40 to about 95 weight percent of the total catalyst composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said reaction is carried out batchwise and the ratio of solid catalyst to feedstock is in the range of about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent catalyst based on weight of feedstock and the reaction time is in the range of about 0.1 to about 20 hours.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein steam is added to the reaction zone in a ratio of liquid water to liquid hydrocarbon feed of from about 1:5 to about 1:100 by volume.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said reaction is continuous in a fixed span and the liquid hourly space velocity of the feed is in the range of about 0.2 to about 10.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 5 wherein steam is added to the reaction zone in a ratio of liquid water to liquid hydrocarbon feed of from about 1:5 to about 1:100 by volume.
