Direct coal liquefaction (DCL) is a process for converting coal to synthetic oils, which can be refined to make transportation fuels. Residue from this process contains inorganic material such as mineral matter originating from the coal and catalysts, and organic matter such as unconverted coal, heavy oils, pre-asphaltenes and asphaltenes.
Apr 24, 2017 · Coal has long been known as a fossil fuel, a source of energy in the production of electricity, steel and cement industries. Coal can also be converted into a liquid fuel like diesel or gasoline through several different processes. Liquid coal is ...
[PDF]Jan 01, 2010 · Coal liquefaction, termed coal to liquid or CTL frequently nowadays, refers to conversion of solid coal into liquid fuels and chemicals. Its main objectives are breaking down of the coal's molecular structure and addition of hydrogen ( Dadyburjor and Liu, 2004 ).
Coal gasification can also be used in direct and indirect coal liquefaction to produce gasoline and diesel for motor vehicles. High oil prices have made this technology more feasible as well.
Fine coal refuse (FCR) is the waste produced in mining process. FCR can be classified as low-plasticity to non-plastic sandy silt or silty sand. Although FCR consists of appreciable amount of fines content (30% to 60%), there is a high liquefaction potential for hydraulically deposited FCR in impoundments due to its loose and saturated ...
Chemical Engineering Education, v13 n4 p180-82,215 1979 Described is a graduate level engineering course offered at the University of Southern California on coal liquefaction processes. Lecture topics and course requirements are discussed.
[PDF]WVU Expands Coal Liquefaction Product Yield. Uses of Petroleum Coke: Petroleum coke is typically used as a source of energy, or as a source of carbon for industrial applications. Fuel grade petcoke represents nearly 80 percent of worldwide production and is .
[PDF]Coal liquefaction is a term which is used to describe a process in which a portion of the organic coal substance is converted to liquid products. In general, this includes liquids extracted by solvents. Solvent extraction has also been used extensively in research on coal structure. More specifically,
As a major byproduct of direct coal liquefaction, coal liquefaction residue (CLR) waste is environmentally harmful but also valuable. Considering environmental and economic efficiency, exploiting these wastes as electrodes for new generation energy storage devices will increase the economic value and decrease environmental pollution synchronously.
Coal liquefaction catalysts are highly porou s materials, and typi cally show some aspects of pore diffusion control. Molecul ar tr ansport in pore s depends on the size of the pore.

This article traces the evolution and development of a modern coal liquefaction technology, the EDS (Exxon Donor Solvent) process, over a period of 15 years. During this time the technology has been advanced from laboratory experiments to a pilot plant with a coal feed rate of 250 tons per day, and findings from several areas of science and technology have been important.
[PDF]Liquefaction Process. In the first step of the direct coal liquefaction process, the coal is ground and mixed with oil to yield a pumpable paste. This paste is pumped to high pressure (200 - 300 bars) and is heated to the desired process temperature of about 450 - 460 °C.
The title of this paper titled "Shifting the Paradigm: the Prospective Utilization of Coal Liquefaction for Liquid Fuel Production in Nigeria" is -disciplinary in nature.The word 'prospective' in the title implies 'the paper intends to evaluate the potential use' of coal deposits to produce clean combustible liquid fuels to drive the nation's economy.
The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering offers undergraduate degrees in chemical engineering (ChE) and biomedical engineering (BMEG). Chemical engineers focus on processes that convert raw materials such as crude oil, biomass, coal and natural gas into value-added finished products such as plastics, paints, detergents and pharmaceuticals.
Attention is given to the catalytic hydrogenation of coal in the presence of a solvent, the origin and character of coal, laboratory reactors for rate measurements, reaction networks based on lumped fractions, free-radical reaction models, reactor types, the compatibility of coal-derived liquids and petroleum fuels, the stability of coal liquids, thermal cracking, catalytic hydrotreating, catalytic .
Coal Liquefaction. The synthesis gas (syngas) is made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which is then reacted over an F-T catalyst to form a liquid hydrocarbon. The resulting liquid forms a range of hydrocarbon fuels and products including gasoline, diesel, methanol, and other chemicals [4].
coal liquefaction. [¦kōl lik·wə′fak·shən] (chemical engineering) The conversion of coal (with the exception of anthracite) to petroleum-like hydrocarbon liquids, which are used as refinery feedstocks for the manufacture of gasoline, heating oil, diesel fuel, jet fuel, turbine fuel, fuel oil, and petrochemicals.
Coal to Liquid Construction of large-scale coal-to-liquid industrial plants in China is from the beginning of twenty-first Century. Coal liquefaction process include two process routes of direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction. Shenhua coal direct liquefaction project obtained formal approval of the state in September 2002.
[PDF]Direct coal liquefaction (DCL) converts solid coal (H/C ratio ≈ 0.8) to liquid fuels (H/C ratio ≈ 2) by adding hydrogen at high temperature and pressures in the presence or absence of catalyst. This review provides a comprehensive literature survey of the coal structure, chemistry and catalysis involved in direct liquefaction of coal.
