HCoal process and plant design (Patent) |

Pulverized coal is mixed with recycle slurry oil to form a coaloil slurry. This slurry is passed through a heater into the lower part of the reactor. H is added, and the oil and H pass up through a bed of catalyst or activated Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ at sufficient velocity to maintain an ebullated bed of catalyst or inert solids.
