Environmental, Health, and Safety Assessments for Direct Coal Liquefaction. Volume 2. Summary of Lessons Learned

摘要

The Fossil Energy Technology and Environmental Program of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has reviewed various aspects of research and development (R and D) of direct coal liquefaction processes. The resulting information is presented in a multivolume series of reports entitled ''Environmental, Health, and Safety Assessment for Direct Coal Liquefaction'' (ORNL/FETEP-1 through -12). The present volume summarizes the main lessons learned as presented in these reports, while Volume 3 brings together the major remaining R and D needs as identified by the reviewers. The reports and their lessons learned cover the following areas: emissions from a hypothetical direct coal liquefaction facility; physicochemical measurements of process streams, products, and emissions; source and ambient monitoring program; potential health effects; development of an occupational health monitoring system; and the environmental transport, fate, and effects of products, atmospheric emissions, solid wastes, and waste waters. 11 refs.
