ABSTRACT:

From 1972 to the present, The Ralph M. Parsons Company has been assisting the Government in defining and developing commercially attractive coal conversion technology. In the course of this association, Parsons has produced some 53 reports, presentations, and publications supporting the OCR-ERDA-DOE programs. This publication presents in one volume the key published material. Five of the documents (Collected Works No. 12, 16, 20, 21, and 23) are major design/economic evaluation reports completed to fulfill contractual obligations, but because of their physical size, only the cover page, Introduction and Summary, and material balances are included in this book. Complete copies of these reports may be ordered from the National Technical Information Service. The remaining articles were prepared in response to invitations to submit the results of Parsons research. They include presentations at conferences and reprints from technical journals and books. All were intended to place pertinent information into the published literature at the earliest possible date.  The present volume is an interim document, for work continues on coal conversion technology and attendant economical and environmental assessments.
