Abstract

Based on the existing coal liquefaction process units, and our own laboratory research efforts on microautoclave reactor systems, a continuous flow process reactor system for the direct liquefaction of coal and upgrading of coal liquids was designed. In our mini-pilot plant scale process system, two novel technologies have been coupled to improve the economics over existing coal liquefaction processes. The {open_quotes}technologies{close_quotes} incorporated are temperature programmed liquefaction (TPL) of coal and the co-use of water and dispersed metal catalyst in the low-temperature catalytic coal conversion. Details of this novel continuous-mode process reactor scheme along with its peripheral units will be presented. The progress of this ongoing project will be updated and presented.
