Environmental, health, and safety assessments for direct coal liquefaction. Volume 3. Summary of remaining research and development needs

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6169842

A summary is given of the remaining research and development needs associated with the environmental, health and safety aspects of direct coal liquefaction technologies as identified in the multivolume series, Environmental, Health, and Safety Assessments for Direct Coal Liquefaction (ORNL/FETEP-4-12), under the direction of the Fossil Energy Technology Environmental Program (FETEP). Research needs are recommended from analyses of emissions; of physicochemical studies of wastes, products, and emissions; of source and ambient monitoring programs; of health effects studies; of worker health surveillance systems; and of environmental studies of transport, fate, and effects of products, atmospheric emissions, solid wastes, and wastewaters. The remaining research and development needs generally are presented in this report in the same format and wording as used in the source reports. Research needs that were independently identified by several reports are indicated, but no attempt has been made to prioritize the research needs. 13 refs., 1 tab.
