Abstract:There are mainly four pathways to get liquid fuels from the coal including the direct liquefaction process, the Fischer-Tropsch process, coal-tar refining, and pyrolysis process. The characteristics of these four processed have been described. As the first two pathways are considered to be promising, the characteristics of these two types of coal-based jet fuels are discussed and the component characteristics of coal-based synthesis fuels are investigated, respectively. The component characteristics of coal-ba… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
