Hydrogenation of coal is not a sensitive reaction.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Industrial Processes-III in portion Hydrogenation of Unit Processes

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

To ELABORATE: In the Hydrogenation of coal, the reaction is HIGHLY sensitive to changes in temperature because of the high-molecular-weight compounds PRESENT in the coal. Great care must be taken to AVOID overheating, particularly during the preheating operations; otherwise, the components of the coal that still have their original molecular structure will TEND to form coke and inert products not suitable for further hydrogenation.
