Firstly, coal gasification leads to low H 2:CO ratios and secondly the process economics is strongly affected by the coal reactivity as this determines the carbon conversion and gas yields. Furthermore Wu Wang [ 5 ] identified that methane could be an ideal source for H 2, for syngas conversion requiring high H 2, and that coalbed gas is a ...

Coal can also be liquefied directly, without going through the production of synthesis gas. This process is termed coaltoliquid (CTL) and is a reasonably mature technology. The process typically uses the technique of heating under pressure (up to 470°C, 200 bar) and hydrogenation where hydrogen is added to a coalwater slurry. The slurry ...

Indirect coal liquefaction (ICL) processes mainly include two important steps. In the first step, the coal is gasified and converted into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, also called as syngas. In the second step, the syngas is further synthesized into liquid fuel. Coal is the most abundant energy reserve in the world.

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 ...
