Coal liquefaction is a process of changing coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "Coal to X" or "Carbon to X", where X can be many different hydrocarbonbased products. However, the most common process chain is "Coal to Liquid Fuels" (CTL)

This process is the only coal liquefaction scheme currently in use on a relatively large commercial scale; South Africa is currently using the Fischer−Tropsch process on a commercial scale in their complex. Thus, coal is converted to gaseous products at temperatures in excess of 800°C (1470°F), and at moderate pressures, to produce ...
The process involves gasification of coal, which in turn will produce synthetic gas (a mix of CO+H2). The synthetic gas can be liquefied to its fuel equivalent in presence of cobalt/ironbased catalysts at higher pressure and temperature. However, liquefied coal emits twice as much CO2 as burning oil. It also emits a large volume of SO2.
Direct coal liquefaction (DCL) The conversion of coal to liquids via dissolution and/or hydroprocessing, without first gasifying the coal DOE United States Department of Energy FischerTropsch reaction The catalytic conversion of synthesis gas to primarily hydrocarbons, the discovery being credited to Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch
Indirect liquefaction requires an intermediate gasification of the solid coal to form a synthesis gas, which is then converted to the liquid product. This process results in the complete dismantling of the coal structure. direct liquefaction, coal is exposed directly to hydrogen at high temperatures (450C) and high pressures (kPa ...
The purpose of coal conversion is the production of alternative fuels, including motor fuels, or the generation of a range of chemicals from coal by process routes, such as gasification, direct and indirect liquefaction, hydropyrolysis, and plasmapyrolysis. The application of these techniques is essential if the large reserves of coal are to be ...

Coal resources have been used to produce liquid transportation fuels by several process routes collectively referred to as coal liquefaction or, more generally stated, as coal to liquids (CTL). Early records of coal conversion to liquid fuel date to 1913 and an extraction process developed by Friedrich Bergius in Germany [ 7 ].
Coal liquefaction is very powerful if you choose to make plastic onsite. With traditional oil processing, you need both oil and coal close to water, while liquefaction allows you to forget the oil and use only the coal and water instead. This gives you way more flexibility, since coal near water is much more frequent than coal, oil and water being close together.
The direct coal liquefaction process usually produces a liquefaction residue of about 30% of its coal feed. The effective utilization of the coal liquefaction residue (CLR), which contains about ...
coal liquefaction, any process of turning coal into liquid products resembling crude oil. The two procedures that have been most extensively evaluated are carbonization—heating coal in the absence of air—and hydrogenation—causing coal to react with hydrogen at high pressures, usually in the presence of a catalyst.
Abstract The effect of process conditions on the coprocessing technology of crude oil and coal was investigated. Crude oil/coal matching performance, swelling degree, crude oil/coal slurry viscositytemperature characteristics and process parameters were obtained via the laboratory scale and pilot scale studies. The optimum reaction temperature of the coprocessing was 445~450 oC, the ...
Among them, coal liquefaction residue (CLR) is a waste product in the direct liquefaction process of coal . CLR accounts for 2030 wt.% of the mass of raw coal and is rich in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polyaromatic hydrocarbons and is a mixture which mainly consist of carbon, ash and sulfur. Therefore, CLR can be used as the ...
A typical liquefaction process, NEDOL process, applied 728 K, 17 MPa, a metal catalyst, and a hydrogen supplier solvent for the coal depolymerization. A significant problem of coal liquefaction is that the conditions are too severe, so the cost of the heat energy and plant device is too high to be commercialized.
Petroleum gas production. For producing petroleum gas, the optimal advanced oil processing ratio is 20:5:17 (advanced oil processing : heavy oil cracking : light oil cracking), and 8:2:7 is close enough. Using coal liquefaction, the ratio is 60:39:55 (coal liquefaction : heavy oil cracking : light oil cracking), and 12:8:11 is close enough.
Based on the liquefaction process, the global coal to liquid (CTL) market is segmented into direct coal liquefaction and indirect coal liquefaction. Indirect coal liquefaction is the most widely used liquefaction technology. This process produces highvalue and cleanburning fuels. Synthetic fuel produced using this technology can be used in ...
the process to dissolve the coal and to transfer externally produced hydrogen to the coal molecules. Catalytic liquefaction resembles solvent extraction, except that hydrogen is added to the coal with the aid of a catalyst. Figure presents the flow diagram of a typical solvent extraction or catalytic liquefaction plant. These coal ...
Progress on US ERDA's coal liquefaction research and development programs is reported. This included operation of the SRC pilot plant to produce 400 tons of specification solventrefined coal, process development efforts related to the Synthoil process, site selection and engineering for the Hcoal process pilot plant, and renovation of the Cresap test facility (for testing components).
Indirect liquefaction processes require first gasifying the solid feedstocks into a syngas. Therefore, while direct coal liquefaction (DCL) takes coal directly into a liquid phase, indirect coal liquefaction (ICL) consists of two major steps: (a) gasification to produce a synthesis gas (syngas); and (b) conversion of the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2) in the syngas to a range of ...

A great part of papers also include economic consideration. Bibliography data at end of each article.
The growing demand for petroleum, accompanied by the declining petroleum reserves and the concerns over energy security, has intensified the interest in direct coal liquefaction (DCL), particularly in countries such as China which is rich in coal resources, but short of petroleum. In addition to a general introduction on the mechanisms and processes of DCL, this paper overviews some recent ...
