What is coal chemical industry?

Coal chemical industry is a process in which coal is used as a raw material to convert coal into gas, liquid, solid fuel, and chemicals through chemical processing. From the coal processing process, mainly include: dry distillation (including coking and low-temperature dry distillation), gasification, liquefaction and synthetic chemicals. According to statistics, 32 kinds of basic products can be produced, and 58 kinds of products can be directly extended and processed by each item. There are 22 types of products that can be arranged horizontally by each item of resources.

Among the production technologies available in coal chemical industry, coking is the earliest process applied, and it is still an important part of the chemical industry.

Coal gasification plays an important role in coal chemical industry. It is used for the production of various gaseous fuels. It is a clean energy source and is conducive to improving people’s living standards and environmental protection. The coal gasification production of synthetic gas is synthesizing liquid fuels and other products. raw material.

Direct liquefaction of coal, that is, high-pressure hydrogenation and liquefaction of coal, can produce man-made petroleum and chemical products. In the absence of oil, coal liquefaction products will replace the current natural oil.
