Abstract
Abstract A process is provided for the simultaneous conversion of coal and residuum oil to predominantly liquid products, employing ebullated bed techniques. A fluid blend of particulate coal admixed with crude oil comprising from about 20 to 100% by weight of residuum oil boiling above about 975 DEG F. is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of an ebullated bed of particulate hydrogenation catalyst to effect conversion of at least about 50% of the residuum oil component and up to about 94% of the m.a.f. coal. In an alternate embodiment the oil feed includes recycled oil from the product liquids.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A continuous process for the hydro conversion of a fluid blend of solid and liquid fossil fuels comprising: a. premixing a solid particulate stream consisting essentially of finely divided coal with a sufficient amount of a liquid stream consisting essentially of non-volatile hydrocarbon oil comprising a crude oil having at least about 20% by weight residuum oil boiling above about 975° F. to provide a flowable blend; b. contacting the blend with hydrogen-rich gas at a temperature of from about 750° F. to about 900° F and hydrogen partial pressure of from about 1000 to about 4000 p.s.i.g. in the presence of an ebullated bed of hydrogenation catalyst particles at space velocity between about 20 and 150 pounds of coal plus oil per hour per cubic foot reactor volume to convert the solid and liquid fossil fuels; and c. recovering distillable liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon products.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
