Evaluation of the solvent ability for coal liquefaction was carried out using a phenolic resin coal model. The formation of product phenol increased a resin decomposition progressed. Yallourn coal conversion was correlated very well with phenol yield at 440C for 13 model liquefaction solvents. Phenol yield is found in this study to be one of the most important indicators of the quality of a coal liquefaction solvent. Furthermore, Yallourn coal conversions using a hydrogenated anthracene oil and recycle solvent were predicted from the regression line.
