ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for two-stage catalytic hydrogenation and liquefaction of coal to produce increased yields of low- boiling hydrocarbon liquid and gas products. In the process, the particulate coal is slurried with a process-derived liquid solvent and fed at temperature below about 650°F into a first stage catalytic reaction zone operated at conditions which promote controlled rate liquefaction of the coal, while simultaneously hydrogenating the hydrocarbon recycle oils at conditions favouring hydrogenation reactions. The first stage reactor is maintained at 650-800°F temperature, 1000- 4000 psig hydrogen partial pressure, and 10-60 lb coal/hr/ft3 reactor space velocity. The partially hydrogenated material from the first stage reaction zone is passed directly to the close-coupled second stage catalytic reaction zone maintained at a temperature at least about 25°F higher than for the first stage reactor and within a range of 750-875°F temperature for further hydrogenation and thermal hydroconversion reactions. By this process, the coal feed is successively catalytically hydrogenated and hydroconverted at selected conditions, which results in significantly increased yields of desirable low- boiling hydrocarbon liquid products and minimal production of undesirable residuum and unconverted coal and hydrocarbon gases, with use of less energy to obtain the low molecular weight products, while catalyst life is substantially increased.
