Microbial solubilization of coal may serve as a first step in a process to convert low-rank coals or coal-derived products to other fuels or products. For solubilization of coal to be an economically viable technology, a mechanistic understanding of the process is essential. Leonardite, a highly oxidized, low-rank coal, has been solubilized by ...

Coal can be turned into gases and liquids that can be used as fuels or processed into chemicals to make other products. These gases or liquids are sometimes called synthetic fuels or synfuels. Synthetic fuels are made by heating coal in large vessels. These fuels produce fewer air pollutants when burned than burning coal directly.
Coal Conversion Process Routes. The essential feature of coal conversion by gasification and direct or indirect liquefaction is the conversion of coal into higher-grade products such as fuel gases, motor fuels and chemicals which, at present, are mainly produced from oil and natural gas. Coal gasification and liquefaction processes are complex ...
Conversion of coarse coal in a medium of combustion products of fine coal with the following parameters: a flow rate ratio of primary and secondary coal is 0.82; a corresponding air flow rate is 0.35; the stoichiometric coefficient of primary, secondary, and total air are 0.8, 1.87, and 1.39; temperatures in the active zone are higher than 1200°C.
Valtronics Solutions fabricated two measurement and regulation (M&R) skids and an analyzer building for the Big Sandy Unit 1 Coal-to-Gas conversion project. Connecting to one main header is a 12-inch ANSI 600 ultrasonic meter run supported by a 6'-4" x 41' skid. A 12' x 49' skid supports 4-inch and 8-inch ultrasonic meter runs with a ...
The composition of the resulting liquid products was investigated by a GC-MS technique. It was shown that the use of catalysts significantly increased the degree of coal conversion and the yield of liquid products in all of the test processes.
Products of coal. The various useful products obtained by processing the coal by heating in the absence of air are: 1)Coal gas. 2)Coal tar. 3)Coke. The strong heating of coal in the absence of air is called destructive distillation of coal.. If coal is heated in the presence of air,then coal burns to produce mainly carbon dioxide gas and no other useful products were obtained.
China's central policymakers have slowly accepted coal conversion because it can supply China's rapidly growing demand for petrochemical products, such as fertilizer, rubber, and plastic, in the face of uncertain global oil supply. According to Yao Wu, an energy market analyst from ESAI Energy LLC, China consumed 35 million out of 160 ...
Coal-to-gas plant conversion is gathering pace in the US and Canada. Repurposing aging coal plants to run on natural gas is increasingly considered a viable way for energy producers to reduce emissions and cut costs. More than 100 US coal plants were replaced or converted to run on natural gas between 2011 and 2019.
History. In the past, coal was converted to make coal gas, which was piped to customers to burn for illumination, heating, and cooking. High prices of oil and natural gas led to increased interest in "BTU Conversion" technologies such as gasification, methanation and liquefaction. The Synthetic Fuels Corporation was a U.S. government-funded corporation established in 1980 to create a market ...
the coal oils. This results in a higher value oil than generated by previous coal processing technologies while also creating a separate stream of heavier material suitable for solid carbon products such as low-cost carbon fi ber. Testing at TerraPower focused on conversion of low-rank coals such as sub-bituminous coal from the United States'

Coal is one of the most useful fossil fuels. It has many applications, some of which include the production of heat for s, firing of industrial generators, manufacturing of cast iron, etc. It can also be processed industrially in order to obtain products like coke, tar and coal gas. These by-products are beneficial to us too.

The difference in conversion rates is because coal-fired generation plants in the United States are often older and less efficient than many natural gas-fired plants. In U.S. power plants, generating a kilowatthour of electricity from coal requires on average about one-third more energy than producing a kilowatthour from natural gas.
