Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Removal Reactions in Donor Solvent Coal Liquefaction

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

There are a number of ways coal can be converted to liquid fuel. It can be pyrolyzed to produce gas, liquid, and char. It can be first converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen which can then be converted to liquid fuel via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It can be hy-dropyrolyzed to produce gases, naphtha range liquids, and heavy residues. Finally, it can be liquefied in the presence of a hydrogen donor solvent to produce liquid and gaseous products. This review is concerned with the last method for conversion of coal to liquid fuel.
