The oldest of the above processes, coal pyrolysis, is generally performed under air-free conditions to obtain liquid products (e.g., tar) mainly comprising high-molecular-weight compounds [2, 5].Fig. 1 (a) depicts a process developed by SGI International [4], wherein the pyrolytic gas is separated from particulate matter by …
Hybrid process approaches involving a combination of direct coal liquefaction and indirect coal liquefaction (in which gasification is an intrinsic step) have been proposed and may be increasingly important in …
As described above, various direct liquefaction processes are being developed and large commercial coal liquefaction plants of a capacity of 10,000 t/day have reached the conceptual design stage. Many direct coal liquefaction processes have been shown to be technically viable in plants processing up to 150–250 t/day. The thermal efficiency of ...
It is shown that although direct liquefaction conversion processes might be more energy-efficient, overall system efficiencies for direct and indirect liquefaction are typically comparable if end ...
In recent years, liquefied natural gas (LNG) boil-off gas (BOG) re-liquefaction technologies in LNG ships have been developing rapidly as LNG trade across the sea has become a hot spot in global energy trade. However, there are lots of restrictions on board and BOG re-liquefaction is an energy-intensive industrial process. Reducing energy …
5. Direct Coal Liquefaction (DCL) • Direct coal liquefaction starts just prior to World War II by Germany, continues through the 1950s and 1960s with the research by the U.S. • Direct coal liquefaction refers to the direct reaction of coal with hydrogen to form liquids. • The hydrogen is also required to increasing the H/C ratio of the coal as it …
Mineralogically identical to natural gypsum, FGD gypsum, or synthetic gypsum, is produced from gas captured within emission control systems at coal fired electric utilities. An emission that would compromise air quality, sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas, is the primary contribution coal makes to FGD gypsum. Utilities that produce panel-grade synthetic …

The use of zeolite catalysts for the refining of products from methanol synthesis and Fisher–Tropsch synthesis was reviewed. The focus was on fuels refining processes and differences in the application to indirect liquefaction products was compared to petroleum, which is often a case of managing different molecules. …

The United States has large reserves of coal and biomass to support a CBTL industry. While a CBTL process can produce liquids either directly or indirectly via gasification, fuels derived from indirect liquefaction are less polluting and cleaner burning than oil-based fuels as they are very low in sulfur and aromatic compounds [1].
There are three major methods of producing liquid fuels from coal: pyrolysis, direct liquefaction, and indirect liquefaction. Pyrolysis is a thermal process in which coal is …

The liquefaction of biomass is an important technology to converse the biomass into valuable biofuel. The common technologies for liquefaction of biomass are indirect liquefaction and direct liquefaction.

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 …
Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) is one of the processes of indirect liquefaction, where polymerization and hydrogenation of synthetic oil are done simultaneously, and in this process, synthetic oil always has a broad carbon number distribution.The key outcomes from the F–T synthesis are HCs, oxygenates, and water, which are used for making …
