Coal Liquefaction

Coal

bull Combustible black or brownish sediment rock

bull Layer and layer of dead plant remain annually

bull Largest source of energy for electricity worldwide

Utilizing Coal

bull Steam power boatsbull Generate electricitybull Liquefy into gasoline

Coal Power Plant

bull 54 of US electricity generated from coalbull Yet itrsquos the largest air polluterbull 500 megawatts=14 million tons of coal annuallybull Coal plants require billions of gallons of water to

cool the systembull Mining pollutes water land and air

Why Liquefaction

bull Alternative to importing petroleum in Chinarsquos case because abundant coal supply

bull Many different types of fuel like methanol diesel gasoline H2 and dimethyl ether

bull Fuel trucks planes and other machines in where petroleum is limited

Methods

bull Directndash Coal + Hydrogen (H2) Linear + Ring Type

Hydrocarbons ( CxHy Catalyst )

bull Indirect ndash Gasification Coal + Oxygen + Steam 1048774 Syngas (H2

+ CO)ndash Syngas Conversion H2 + CO Linear Hydrocarbons

(CxHy) or Chemicals

Direct Coal Liquefaction

Hydrogenation

bull A chemical reaction that results in the addition of hydrogen (H2)

bull Usually to reduce or saturated the organic compounds

bull At high temperatures the addition of hydrogen to hydrocarbons does not require a catalyst

bull Under 480 C the catalyst are platinum palladium rhodium and ruthenium

Carbonization

bull Converting organic substance into carbon or residue by pryolysis (heating)

bull Convert coal to coal gas or tar bull Also used to turn biomass to coal biodiesel

Indirect Coal Liquefaction

Gasification

bull Combusting the substances and reacting them with CO and H which forms syngas or synfuel

bull Expose the coal with high heat with a controlled amount of O2 allows combustion

bull Char reacts with CO2 and steam to make the syngas but some of the CO2 is locked in char

Synfuel Production

bull Sasolrsquos the only company producing 150000 barrels per day in South Africa

bull They use the indirect method to produce synfuel

bull No engine modification is required

Chinarsquos Project

bull Planned 5 million tons of oil product per yearbull Demo about one million tons of oilbull Located Inner Mongolia bull Direct and Indirect methods of Liquefaction

Shenhua Group

Prorsquos of Coal to Liquid

bull US has more coal than any other country almost as cheap as dirt

bull Concept has been used since 1913 and during WWII with the Nazi

bull New catalyst improve the process of liquefaction

bull Make natural gas out of dirty coal

Great Point company

Andrew Perlman showing how coal can be converted to natural gas

Conrsquos of Coal to Liquid

bull Air pollution lots of CO2 is released in the making of synfuel

bull Destroying mountains for coal pollutes the environment and release more CO2

bull Carrsquos will still produce CO2 from synfuelbull Expensive to transport coal and convert to

liquiduseable fuel
