The behavior of liquefaction of Shengli (SL) lignite with methanol and CaO in the presence of FeS and tetralin (THN) was studied. The effects of reaction temperature and time on the liquefaction behavior of SL lignite with methanol and CaO were preliminarily investigated. The liquefaction...

The growing demand for petroleum, accompanied by the declining petroleum reserves and the concerns over energy security, has intensified the interest in direct coal liquefaction (DCL), particularly in countries such as China which is rich in coal resources, but short of petroleum. In addition to...
