Occupational hazard assessment: coal liquefaction. Volume II - assessment
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5488645
This document reviews and evaluates potential occupational hazards to workers in coal liquefaction pilot plants. By addressing the hazard while direct coal liquefaction technology is still being developed, the risk of potentially adverse health effects can be substantially reduced. In this document recommendations are made for reducing the risks of these adverse health effects. Failure to take adequate precautionary measures may result in needless risks to worker health and safety. Coal liquefaction is the conversion of coal to liquid hydrocarbon products. The major products of most coal liquefaction processes are condensed aromatic liquids; however, some gases and solids are also produced, depending on the type of coal, the process, and the operating conditions used.
