          Application 08/342,817                                                      



          hydrocarbonaceous material to which the mixture of chromic                  
          acid and water soluble polyhydroxy compound may be added                    
          includes hydrocarbons boiling above 350EF (column 2, lines 23               
          through 44).  The mixture of hydrocarbonaceous material and                 
          water soluble polyhydroxy compound are treated with hydrogen                
          sulfide-containing gas at a temperature of from 500EF (260EC)               
          to 1000EF (538EC) to convert the chromium catalyst precursor                
          to a solid chromium-containing catalyst dispersed in the                    
          hydrocarbonaceous material (column 2, lines 45 through 55).                 
          The catalyst precursor may be prepared in a hydrocarbon                     
          material which is a suitable hydrocarbonaceous chargestock for              
          the hydrocarbonconversion for which the chromium-containing                 
          catalyst is prepared for use (column 2, lines 55 through 64).               
          When the chromium-containing catalyst is to be used for coal                
          liquefaction and the chargestock comprises coal and a                       
          hydrocarbon diluent, the mixture of aliphatic water soluble                 
          polyhydroxy material and aqueous chromic acid may be added to               
          the hydrocarbon diluent and converted to the solid catalyst                 
          before or after the coal is added (column 2, line 64 through                
          column 3, line 3).  Suitable hydrocarbon-containing                         

                                          7
