This article presents results from studies on the hydrogenation processing of liquefied products obtained from coal of the Irsha-Borodino deposit of the Kansk-Achinsk Basin. Advantages of coal hydrogenation include a reduction of the average molecular weight and an increase in the content of hydrogen in the liquefied products. Hydrogenation gives a higher conversion of coal to liquid products than other methods such as pyrolysis and gasification. Topics considered hydrotreating a 45-400/sup 0/C cut of liquid hydrogenated product from lignite, the catalytic reforming of a 45-180/sup 0/C wide naphtha cut, and the production of TS-1 type jet fuel from 120-230/sup 0/C coal distillate. The data on the hydrogenation of coals from the Kansk-Achinsk Basin have been used in a technoeconomic justification for the production of 3 million tons per year of liquid fuels.
