The Development of a Novel Direct Coal Liquefaction Reactor

Abstract

Economical process of coal liquefaction is urgently needed in these days. Only Aoji process was successfully and economically operated in 1943.
I improved the Aoji process and developed a tubular plug flow process named ‘M-coal’ process.
The ‘M-coal’ reactor is an efficient direct liquefaction reactor characterized with (1) heterogeneous inner heating, (2) multiple tower with multiple H₂ supply, (3) tubular plug flow and (4) inexpensive construction cost.
The ‘M-coal’ process is expected to be realized as soon as possible.
