Liquefaction is the process of converting solid coal into liquid fuels. The main difference between naturally occurring petroleum fuels and coal is the deficiency of hydrogen in the latter: coal contains only about half the amount found in petroleum. Therefore, conversion of coal into liquid fuels involves the addition of hydrogen.
This invention is directed to a process for converting coal into useful liquids, solids, and gases, by combined processes of coal carbonization and liquefaction in which the carbonization reaction yields hydrogen suitable for the liquefaction. The heavy liquid products from the liquefaction and the carbonization may be combined with the solid char to form a metallurgical coke.

It is observed that bituminization takes place with rising rank in the brown coal to subbituminous coal range. This is because petroleumtype hydrocarbons are formed at this stage from components of waxy leaf cuticles, pollen, and spore coatings by chemical reactions. Petroleum source rocks are able to generate petroleum from included organic ...
Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and 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).

The coaltoliquids (CTL) technique is a chemical process by which solid coal is converted into ... Emissions of pollutants from raw material processing in the CTL process. In the conversion of coal to liquid hydrocarbon, many kinds of raw materials are consumed, including coal, freshwater, chemical reagents and industrial chemicals, and ...
Coal liquefaction is the process of making a liquid fuel from coal. The fundamental difference between coal, a solid, and liquid fuels is that the liquid fuels have a higher hydrogen:carbon ratio. Liquid fuels have lower ash contents and are easier to upgrade (, to remove unwanted impurities such as nitrogen and sulfur).

HTP was originally invented by the German Nobel laureate Friedrich Bergius for the drying of solid hydrocarbon fuels, also known as wet torrefaction [12, 13] (WT)/hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) [19], which can remove the moisture of biomass in liquid form (coal's temperature = 160350 °C/biomass's temperature = 160250 °C, steam pressure ...
Current world capacity of hydrocarbon liquefaction is around 400,000 barrels per day (kb/d), providing a marginal share of the global liquid fuel supply. This study performs a broad review of technical, economic, environmental, and supply chains issues related to coaltoliquids (CTL) and gastoliquids (GTL). We find three issues predominate.
The Bergius process for coal conversion to hydrocarbons requires temperatures above 450 °C6, pyrolysis of different polymers to pyrolysis oil is also typically carried out at similar temperatures7,8.
The influence of high ash content in the feed coal may partially be reduced by selecting an appropriate coal conversion process, its configuration and solidliquid separation to be used in the process (2). However, the most radical approach is to reduce ash content in the coal prior to feeding it into the conversion plant using coal ...
The primary process for FT is the Synthol Process; the schematic is shown in Figure The synthesis gas goes into the reactor at MPa of pressure and 315330°C. The product leaves the reactor where the catalyst is recovered, oils are removed by a hydrocarbon scrubber, and the tail gas recovered.

For the most highly developed processes, coal conversion can be as high as 90% on a mineral ash free basis, with a C 5+ distillate yield up to 75% and hydrogen consumption of 57% wt. When an external catalyst is used, it is typically some combination of cobalt, nickel, and molybdenum on a solid acid support such as silicaalumina [].In slurry hydrogenation processes, catalyst lifetime is ...
It can convert biomass into fuel gas, liquid oil, and solid coal efficiently in the absence of oxygen [86,87], which occurs at relatively low temperatures (between 350 and 700 °C). This process involves the heating and drying of a biomass particle, as well as the release of volatiles.
Coal gasificationbased FischerTropsch (FT) synthesis processes, often termed " coaltoliquids " (CTL) plants, are complex integrated energy systems which typically exploit the waste heat from gas turbines and/or a number of process units in a Heat Recovery Steam Cycle (HRSC). Besides converting waste heat into electricity, the HRSC can also supply heat to endothermic processes in the ...

In the process of liquefaction, solid coal is converted to a ...
