Hydrogenation of coal of "Karazhira" field (Kazakhstan) was studied at an elevated pressure of hydrogen on various catalysts. As carriers were used Al2O3 and carbon, as an active phase (5%): Pd, Co, Mo and Fe. The conducted thermogravimetric researches of coal in the presence of polymers showed that in original composition the content of high-molecular asphalt-resinous components-asfaltens and benzene pitches in the field of temperatures 360-443°C is decreased. As a result of thermal influence the role of components of smaller molecular weight-benzene pitches and oils in bitumen is increased. Optimum catalysts of a hydrogenation of coals are compositions on the basis of Pd/C and Co/C on which the greatest absorption of hydrogen and the maximum speed of hydrogenation is revealed.
