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.
To do that, coal is mixed with oxygen and steam at high temperatures and pressure to produce a gas. This gas is then reacted in the presence of a catalyst to produce a synthetic oil. Already,...

Solid Fuels. This section discusses the energy input from solid fuels. This section computes the quantity of fuel consumed for process heating and power generation. Coal is the most commonly used fuel and the other forms are lignite and biomass wastes.
Direct liquefaction is a possible way of converting solid biomass material into liquid fuel under increased pressure in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst. Dry biomass is described by the chemical formula CH O, liquid fuels by CH 2 and hence the chemical basis of direct liquefaction can be described by the reaction [17] (1) CH ...

Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are present in the gas made from coal or released during the pyrolysis of oil shale and tar sands and, also, are present in the gas generated in the hydrotreatment of pyrolysis oils and synthetic crude oils. Synthetic fuels include liquid fuels such as fuel oil, diesel oil, gasoline, and methanol, clean solid fuels ...
Combustion Reaction. The formation of heat and other combusting products by the reaction of fuels with oxygen is called combustion. Combustion, defined as the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy, is a chemical process. The combustion event depends on the principles applicable to chemical reactions.
The total expenditure of energy in the world each year is about 3 × 10 17 kJ. Today, more than 80% of this energy is provided by the combustion of fossil fuels: oil, coal, and natural gas (The sources of the energy consumed in the United States in 2009 are shown in Figure ) but as Table from the Wikipedia shows, energy usage is a complex issue.
The classification of fuels derived from lignin comprises (i) solid fuels, (ii) liquid fuels, and (iii) gaseous fuels and the various processes or methods carried out over the last few decades in the valorization of lignin feedstock into the specific fuel types are also explored. Overall schematic classification of lignin conversion into the ...
SYNTHETIC FUELSSynthetic fuels are usually thought of as liquid fuel substitutes for gasoline and diesel fuel made from petroleum sources. In broad context, the source of these synthetics can be any feedstock containing the combustible elements carbon or hydrogen. These include coal, oil shale, peat, biomass, tar sands, and natural gas. Source for information on Synthetic Fuels: Macmillan ...

He explains that a liquid propulsion rocket engine uses fuel and an oxidizer, which reacts with the fuel. ... is using his rocket knowhow to improve this 200yearold process. Converting the energy stored in coal is less damaging with a gasifier, because it doesn't pump harmful gases into the atmosphere, uses less water, and creates less ...
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 ...
A process called biosolubilization utilizes the role of microorganisms to convert solid coal into liquid fuel/chemical compounds while still producing environmentally friendly by products.
CoaltoLiquids. CoaltoLiquids (CTL) is a process of converting coal to fuels such as diesel or gas. For diesel, the process involves first building a plant to convert coal to gas and then another plant to covert the gas to a liquid. The resultant liquid fuel is known as synthetic fuel or synfuel. Synfuels are used as an alternative to oil ...
Coaltoliquids (CTL): The conversion of coal to liquid fuels and/or chemicals. Coprocessing (of coal): The simultaneous conversion of coal and waste carbonaceous feedstocks such as petroleumbased residual oil or tar, plastics, or rubbers via oncethrough direct liquefaction into liquid, solid, and gaseous hydrocarbonaceous materials intended primarily for use as fuel

Gasification While the goal of combustion is to produce the maximum amount of heat possible by oxidizing all the combustible material, the goal of gasification is to convert most of the combustible solids into combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. Gasification reactions
In the process of liquefaction, solid coal is converted to a petroleumlike liquid that can be used as a fuel for motor vehicles and other applications. On the one hand, both liquefaction and gasification are attractive technologies in the United States because of our very large coal resources.
Unlike coalfired power plants, where coal's combustion emits pollutants, CTL fuels are as clean or cleaner at their end use as today's liquid fuels. But the process by which the fuels are made can be very carbonintensive — in fact, more so than any other fuel — and that has many people concerned.
In general, methane, CO, ethane, propane, ethanol, and glycerol are typical gaseous and liquid fuels for producing syngas, pure H, pure CO, NH, ethylene, and propylene via the chemical looping process. Central to this technology is the solid intermediates that act as reservoirs for storing and releasing O or N in multiple subreactions to close ...

DCL is generally regarded as the process technology of hydrogenation of solid coals under high pressure and certain temperature to directly converts coals into liquid fuel. In the process of coal liquefaction in a conventional hydrogen atmosphere, the main hydrogenation mechanism is divided into that the chemical bond breaks during coals ...
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 (H 2) in the syngas to a range of ...
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.
