AB  - The behaviour of the soft brown coal from the Kostolac Mine (Serbia, Yugoslavia) was investigated during hydroliquefaction carried out in a batch reactor by direct catalytic hydrogenation of the pulverized coal (- 160 μm) dispersed in tetralin. The effects of temperature (ranging from 365 to 440°C), pressure (13.5 to 15.0 MPa) and residence time (1 to 8 h) on the yield of individual liquefaction products as well as the petrographic composition of the coal residues were closely followed by separation and analysis of the products. These consisted of liquid products soluble in n-heptane (light oils), n-heptane insoluble products (asphaltenes), the solid coal residue and gaseous products. A good reactivity of this soft brown coal was observed. The yield of liquid products varied from 23 to 64 wt.% (based on dry ash-free coal). A total coal conversion of 80 to 86% was achieved. Petrographic composition and optical properties of the solid coal residues were analyzed microscopically in order to establish the character and intensity of the coal changes. The solid residues were found to consist of 12 various grain categories. The low proportions of unreacted or partly reacted coal grains confirmed the good reactivity of the Kostolac soft brown coal in the applied liquefaction process.
