King this week announced that the U.S. Office of Coal Research has given the University of Utah the contract to conduct research on five separate sep-arate processes for up-grading western coals. The contract covers a three-year three-year laboratory program jointly sponsored by the Office of Coal Research and the State of Utah. The federal share of the program pro-gram will be $150,000 and the state's share $102,397. iFive areas which will be covered cov-ered in the laboratory are: (1) flash photolysis of coal in the presence of hydrogen; (2) batch hydrogeneration-distillation; (3) medium pressure hydrocracking-distillation; hydrocracking-distillation; (4) the advantages of solution and extraction techniques tech-niques and their applications in the other systems being studied. (5) The practical and economical yield of useful products which can be obtained through the treatment of high-volatile bituminous bi-tuminous and sub-bituminous coal indegnous to the western states. "This represents a new chapter chap-ter in cooperative research. This is the first program which the Office of Coal Research has co-sponsored co-sponsored with one of the states," Rep. King declared.
