چکیده

Direct coal liquefaction has been studied and practiced since the 1930s. It was used in Germany during World War II to produce synthetic fuels when there was no oil allowed into the country. Since then, it has been studied in the United States and many different technologies have been investigated. Since the US is rich in coal resources, this is one way to be energy independent. Most of the development activity occurred in the 1980s and numerous technologies were studied, the most notable of these being H-Coal, Exxon Donor Solvent, Solvent Refined Coal, and Two Stage Liquefaction. The key elements of these technologies, particularly the reaction/reactor scheme, are discussed in this review.

Effect of Recycle Solvent Hydrotreatment on Oil Yield of Direct Coal Liquefaction

Effects of the recycle solvent hydrotreatment on oil yield of direct coal liquefaction were carried out in the 0.18 t/day direct coal liquefaction bench support unit of National Engineering Laboratory for Direct Coal Liquefaction (China). Results showed that the hydrogen-donating ability of the hydrogenated recycle solvent improved and the hydrogen consumption of solvent hydrotreatment was incr...

Direct Coal Liquefaction with Fe3O4 Nanocatalysts Prepared by a Simple Solid-State Method

Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple solid-state method under ambient conditions. The obtained nanoparticles, with small size and large surface area, were used as a catalyst for direct coal liquefaction (DCL). The results display that high conversion and oil yield were achieved with the nanocatalysts in direct liquefaction of two kinds of coals, i.e., Heishan coal and Dahuangshan coal....

Pulverized Wyoming subbituminous coal was beneficiated by low-pH oil agglomerationat CONSOL to prepare the coal for direct liquefaction. Conventional cleaning is not veryeffective in cleaning this coal; for example, conventional oil agglomeration only givesabout 20% ash rejection. To improve ash rejection, the coal-water slurry was acidifiedto a pH of about 0.5. Oil agglomeratio...
