TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Component: At least one of transition metal gasification catalyst, alkaline earth metal source or alkali metal gasification catalyst are loaded onto the coal particulate and the others are loaded onto the petroleum coke particulate; or transition metal gasification catalyst, alkaline earth metal source and alkali metal gasification catalyst are loaded onto the coal particulate. The alkali metal gasification catalyst comprises a source of potassium and/or sodium. The alkaline earth metal source comprises a source of calcium, magnesium and/or barium. The transition metal gasification catalyst comprises iron and/or manganese. Preferred Process: The preparation of particulate composition comprises:(1) contacting first coal feedstock with first aqueous solution including transition metal gasification catalyst to form a first slurry; contacting second coal feedstock with second aqueous solution including alkaline earth metal source to form a second slurry; contacting third coal feedstock with third aqueous solution including alkali metal gasification catalyst to form a third slurry; dewatering the slurries to form first, second and third wet cakes, respectively; thermally treating the wet cakes with a dry inert gas to provide first, second and third particulates; and mixing petroleum coke particulate with portions of first, second and third particulates to form a particulate composition;(2) contacting petroleum coke particulate, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock with a first aqueous solution including transition metal gasification catalyst to form a first slurry; contacting petroleum coke particulate, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock, other than the one already used, with a second aqueous solution including alkaline earth metal source to form a second slurry; contacting petroleum coke feedstock, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock, other than the ones already used, with a third aqueous solution including alkali metal gasification catalyst to form a third slurry; dewatering the slurries to form first, second and third wet cakes, respectively; thermally treating the wet cakes with a dry inert gas to provide a first particulate, second particulate and third particulate; and mixing portions of each particulate to form a particulate composition;(3) contacting first coal feedstock with first aqueous solution including transition metal gasification catalyst to form a first slurry; contacting second coal feedstock with second aqueous solution including alkaline earth metal source to form a second slurry; contacting third coal feedstock with third aqueous solution in alkali metal gasification catalyst to form a third slurry; dewatering the slurries to form three wet cakes, respectively; combining portions of each wet cakes to form a final wet cake; and mixing petroleum coke particulate with a portion of final wet cake to provide a particulate composition; or(4) contacting petroleum coke particulate, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock with first aqueous solution including transition metal gasification catalyst to form a first slurry; contacting petroleum coke particulate, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock, other than the one already used, with a second aqueous solution including alkaline earth metal source to form a second slurry; contacting petroleum coke feedstock, first coal feedstock or second coal feedstock, other than the ones already used, with a third aqueous solution including alkali metal gasification catalyst to form a third slurry; dewatering the slurries to form three wet cakes, respectively; combining portions of each wet cake to form a final wet cake; and thermally treating final wet cake with a dry inert gas to form a particulate composition.
