The conversion of brown coal to oil by flash pyrolysis

Abstract

The history and present status of coal liquefaction research and development in Australia, with special emphasis on brown coals and lignites, is reported briefly. The CSIRO flash pyrolysis process and reaction systems involved are described. Results are given for pyrolysis experiments with Australian brown coals, two U.S. lignites, and a German brown coal. The hydrogenation behavior of tar from Yallourn and Loy Yang (Victoria) brown coals is summarized, and data are given on the combustion reactivity of chars from these coals. It is shown that on economic grounds alone there is no present case for establishing oil-from-coal processes in Australia.
