This article describes the use of H//2O-H//2S as a substitute for organic slurrying solvents. The philosophy for doing so is that the water fulfills the role of the slurrying liquid and H//2S is the hydrogen atom donor. Additionally, the solvent serves as a medium for reducing gas and coal product dissolution. Data are presented which compare H//2O-H//2S results along with those using a petroleum-coal based organic solvent, anthracene oil, together with a solvent refined coal middle distillate from the demonstration plant at Tacoma, Washington (SRCMD) and dihydropyrene, a reputedly excellent hydrogen donor solvent. Three ranks of coals are represented in the data.
