ABSTRACT:
An economical method for liquefying low rank coal is proposed. The method comprises steps of providing water-coal slurry by mixing crushed coal with water, heating the slurry under a pressure to a temperature which is lower than the saturated temperature under the pressure to thereby remove water from the coal with a result that coal content in the slurry be decreased, separating liquid in the slurry from solids, performing heat exchange between the separated liquid and the said pressurized water-coal slurry, then mixing the liquid with crushed coal to provide a further water-coal slurry, mixing the separated solids with a solvent to provide a fluid, evaporating water contents in the fluid, cooling the evaporated water to thereby condense it so as to recover volatile material, heating and pressurizing residual part of the fluid to a temperature and pressure suitable for liquefaction reaction with addition of hydrogen to obtain a liquefaction reactant then subjecting the reactant to a heat exchange with the water-coal slurry to cool the reactant to a temperature suitable for distillation, recirculating at least a part of the liquefaction reactant so that it is used at least a part of the solvent.
