Abstract: | Phenanthrene, a coal model compound, was hydrocracked in a batch autoclave at 400 °C for 3 h with an initial hydrogen pressure of 9.8 MPa and equimolar concentrations of molten salts. Binary salts composed of ZnCl2 and metal chlorides, such as CuCl, MoCl5CrCl3, NiCl2, and PdCl2, etc., showed superior catalytic activity to pure ZnCl2 (MCIx/ZnCl2 molar ratio was fixed to ). The isomerization of cyclohexene and H2?D2 exchange reactions were also examined to estimate acid-catalytic and hydrogen-activation abilities, respectively. Both activities were found to increase with the addition of metal chloride to ZnCl2, indicating synergistic catalytic activity. Phenanthrene conversions (as a measure of hydrocracking activities of the salts) over some catalysts correlated rectilinearly with yields of isomerized products of cyclohexane. |
