SOLVENT-REFINED COAL: A POSSIBLE AUTOMOTIVE FUEL?
Production of liquid fuels from powdered coal has reached the large pilot scale, and a plant equivalent to a 20,000 bbl/day petroleum refinery is planned. Naphtha can be upgraded to a high octane gasoline compenent or can provide a source of benzene, toluene, and xylene. Middle distillate might fuel stationary gas turbines or, with mild hydrotreatment, some medium-speed diesels. Heavy distillate or combined fuel oil can serve in assorted industrial applications while by-product gases can supplement natural gas supplies or provide ethylene feed-stocks. Economics, as usual, will determine actual applications.
