Carbon Products from Coal Liquefaction Fractions Lizbeth Laureano-Perez Processes for coal conversion are being evaluated for the development of carbonproduct precursors. It is known that through suitable reaction conditions many carbon products, such as coke, activated carbons, and specialty carbon materials can be produced from coal. In the present work, coal hydrogenation is being considered as a procedure for tailoring the properties of the precursors for specific carbon products. The object of this project is to assess and evaluate such coal-derived materials for use as precursors for the production of carbon products. The work is a joint program between the
