It has been found that the deashing method used has high deashing rate and high combustible recovery but low oil consumption. So it will be widely used in the future. The ash content of coal 1# and 2# is reduced to less than 1%. It has been summarized that the main factors affecting deashing are coal rank, oil consumption, pulp density as well as particle size.展开更多

The influence of various possible deactivation factors on the catalytic performance was elucidated via detailed structural characterization, surface composition analysis, and activity evaluation.The results showed that green oil, carbon deposit and sintering of active metal were the main reasons for deactivation, among which green oil and carbon deposit led to rapid deactivation, while the activity could be recovered after regeneration by high-temperature calcination. The sintering of active metal components was attributed to the high-temperature regeneration in hydrothermal conditions, which was slow but irreversible and accounted for permanent deactivation. Thus, optimizing the regeneration is expected to extend the service life of the commercial catalyst.展开更多
