Book excerpt: The purpose of this project are to independently confirm and possibly to improve the organic sulfur removal from Illinois coals with the PCE process developed by the Midwest Ore Processing Co.(MWOPC), to verify the forms-of-sulfur determination using the ASTM method for evaluation of the PCE process, and to develop a dechlorination procedure to remove excess PCE from the PCE-treated coal. The objectives for year-2 study are to verify the possible effect of PCE treatment on coal-derived FeS2, FeSO4, and Fe2(SO4)3 on ASTM coal analysis, to investigate the behavior of sulfur during oxidation and PCE desulfurization using the isotopically signatured coal sample to investigate the proprietary reagent on the oxidation of the organic sulfur model compounds with and without additives, to evaluate this new oxidation on the organic sulfur removal by PCE desulfurization, and to study other innovative pretreatment processes for the removal of organic sulfur from coal under mild conditions. Oxidation study on the organosulfur model compounds alone was completed in first quarter. The oxidation reactions were repeated on the organosulfur model compounds with the presence of hydrocarbon additives. These additives are known to easily produce hydroperoxides during air oxidation. Analysis of the reaction products is in progress.
