The effect of the initial water of lignite on its liquefaction reactivity

摘要

In this paper, the effect of different initial water content of lignite on its direct liquefaction reactivity was studied. The results show that: initial water content in lignite can be used as hydrogen supplier and promote direct liquefaction reaction inducing higher total conversion rate, higher oil yield and lower pre-asphaltene / asphaltene yield, when the water content of lignite is of 20 ∼ 30%. And the maximum of total conversion rate and oil yield is achieved 85.12% and 51.72%, respectively, when the water content of lignite is 25.33%. While the gas product yield and the pre-asphaltene /asphaltene yield is relatively lower, which is of 11.16% and 3.93%, respectively. This can be of practical significance to optimize the coal pre-treatment technology of direct liquefaction industry.
