4: CoaltoLiquids (CTL) Like GTL, coaltoliquids (CTL) fuels are produced by isolating the hydrocarbons in existing fossil fuels and converting them to a form of synthetic fuel that can be used in existing vehicles' engines. Manufacturers use two methods to make that conversion.
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 ...
FTS is one of the most important synthetic processes. This process, which provides an effective gas to liquid technology, produces a broad range of hydrocarbon products, which are converted to synthetic lubrication oil and synthetic fuel in subsequent refining process, mainly from coal, natural gas resources or biomass.
15. The process that converts solid coal into liquid hydrocarbon fuel is called: (a) Liquefaction (b) Carbonation (c) Catalytic conversion (d) Cracking. 16. Lignite, bituminous and anthracite are different ranks of: (a) Nuclear fuel (b) Coal (c) Natural gas (d) Biogas. 17. Cruid oil is: (a) Colourless (b) Odourless (c) Smelly yellow to black liquid
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 ...
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 [].DCL process concepts have been based on a variety of ...

Coal rank through vitrinite reflectance can be used to determine the potential of a coal seam for producing hydrocarbons. ... The liquid yield and the nature of solid residue from coals of constant coal rank ... An understanding of the effect of maceral composition during coal conversion process is essential as the variation in its physical and ...
The utilization of hydrocarbon solid fuels in China mainly depends on thermal conversion, the most representative of which is thermal power generation. In addition, thermal conversion utilization also includes pyrolysis, gasification, and liquefaction produces chemical products and liquid fuels.
FischerTropsch (FT) synthesis is a heterogeneous catalytic process that converts biomassderived syngas (mixture of CO and H 2) to synthetic liquid fuels and valuable chemicals. FT synthesis has received renewed interest in recent years due to the necessity to decrease global dependency on fossil fuels. FT synthesis is a promising technology ...
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 ...
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.
Indirect liquefaction requires an intermediate gasification of the solid coal to form a synthesis gas, which is then converted to the liquid product. This process results in the complete dismantling of the coal structure. direct liquefaction, coal is exposed directly to hydrogen at high temperatures (450C) and high pressures (kPa ...
The Sasol Synfuels CTL refinery in Secunda uses an alkene oligomerization process based on solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalysis to convert most of the light alkene HTFT product into liquid fuels . ... Certainly coal conversion to hydrocarbon liquids and electricity is now economically attractive from a cash cost viewpoint. However, large ...
Tropsch process for converting coaltoliquid fuel. Coaltoliquid economics Economics of coaltoliquid are very complex and difficult to accurately estimate. Part of the reason is that no CTL plants have been built worldwide since the 1980s while construction cost has significantly increased. Moreover, technology improvements to
Coal, on the other hand, is relatively abundant, making up more than 90% of the world's fossil fuel reserves. As a solid, coal is much more difficult to mine and ship than petroleum (a liquid) or natural gas. Consequently, more than 75% of the coal produced each year is simply burned in power plants to produce electricity.
The method used to convert LRC into liquid fuel is direct coal liquefaction (DCL), which generally requires maximum temperature, pressure, and use of catalysts and solvents [5]. Coal can be converted into liquid hydrocarbons through indirect coal liquefaction (ICL) through gasification to syngas and the FischerTropsch (FT) process [6], [7], [8].
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 ...
A process for converting coals to principally hydrocarbon gases, by intimately contacting coals such as lignite coal with a reagent,, alkali metal polysulfides or alkali metal hydrosulfide, in the presence of steam, or a combination of steam and hydrogen, at temperatures between 65 to 450/sup 0/C. Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons of preselected compositions may be produced; as it is well ...
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.
