Mild gasification and low temperature pyrolysis are considered to be the most promising process for high-moisture subbituminous and lignite coal to produce upgraded solid fuel with high heating value and low sulfur, and to produce a useful liquid product. However effective technology to prevent spontaneous combustion of solid product and to utilize oxygen-rich liquid product has not yet been reported to enhance commercial feasibility of these process. In this study, liquid-phase cracking of low rank coal at 350--450 C under 2 MPa of initial nitrogen atmosphere has been studied to produce upgraded coal and value added liquid product. Liquid-phase cracking of Wyoming subbituminous Buckskin coal using iron oxide catalyst in the presence of t-decalin at 440C gave 10 wt% of liquid product, 12 wt% of gases and 74 wt% of upgraded coal with small amount of water. Gaseous product consisted of mainly carbon dioxide (62wt%) and methane. Therefore, cracking of carboxylic function took place effectively in these conditions. Liquid product contains BTX, phenols and alkylphenols. Concentrated chemicals of BTX, phenol and cresols from the liquid products by hydrocracking and hydrotreating will be discussed.
