A hierarchical porous zeolite Y (HPZY) supported Ni–Co catalyst was prepared by pyrolyzing nickel tetracarbonyl and using modified deposition-precipitation to highly disperse Ni–Co nanoparticles onto HPZY. Hecaogou subbituminous coal was effectively ethanolyzed to obtain ethanol-soluble portion (ESP E) in a high yield (21.2%). Sequentially, ESP E was subjected to the deep hydroconversion (DHC) over prepared Ni 10% -Co 3% /HPZY at 150 °C under 4 MPa of initial hydrogen pressure for 24 h in n -heptane to produce deeply hydroconverted ethanol-soluble portion (ESP DHC). All the group components in ESP E , including arenes (53.3%), oxygen-containing organic compounds (24.4%), and nitrogen-containing aromatics (2.3%) were completely converted to chain alkanes (CAs, 36.8%), cyclanes (39.2%), and hydroarenes (24.0%). In addition, the hydroisomerization of CAs and hydroreforming of aromatic rings (ARs) in ESP DHC are predominant over Ni 10% -Co 3% /HPZY with more accessibility of active sites under mild conditions. Ni 10% -Co 3% /HPZY with suitable acidity and highly dispersed Ni–Co nanoparticles can effectively activate H 2 to H⋯H and further heterogeneously split H⋯H to H
+ and H− . H⋯H and H+ transfer plays crucial roles in the DHC of ESP E. Correspondingly, the related mechanisms are evidenced by the DHC of 2,2′-oxydinaphthalene (ODN) over Ni–Co/HPZY. Ni 10% -Co 3% /HPZY maintains high activity for the DHC of ODN under mild conditions after 4 recycles. • Modify CZY by fluorine-alkaline cascaded treatment to obtain HPZY. • Ni–Co/HPZY has an outstanding catalytic activity and stability for the DHC of ESP E. • Ni–Co/HPZY effectively induced the formation of H+ , H− , and H⋯H during the DHC. • All of group components in ESP E were completely converted to CAs, cyclanes, and HAsII .
