Production of Jet Fuels from Coal-Derived Liquids. Volume 15. Thermal Stability of Coal-Derived Jet Fuels

Abstract

Samples of jet fuel (JP-4, JP-8, JP-8X) produced from the liquid by- products of the gasification of lignite coal from the Great Plains Gasification Plant were analyzed to determine the quantity and type of organo-oxygen compounds present. Results were compared to similar fuel samples produced from petroleum. Large quantities of oxygen compounds were found in the coal derived liquids and were removed in the refining process. Trace quantities of organo- oxygenate compounds were suspected to be present in the refined fuels. The thermal stability of organo-oxygen compound and the coal derived jet fuels was determined. (KR)
