Advanced Coal Chemical Industry and Its Development in China

The requirements to the advanced coal chemical industry include rational utilization of coal resources, full realization of coal values, multi-production of a series of chemical products through optimum integration of several coal conversion technologies , advanced and reliable technologies, suitable product structure,higher efficiency, lower pollution and better economic profit. Its main components consist of the technical system derived from the integration of coal conversion technologies and the product structure that can be adjusted flexibly. Its key technologies include direct liquefaction and gasification, the downstream processing technologies such as synthesis and refinement and the supporting technologies such as catalysts, separation and purification. It is very important to strengthen the development of advanced coal chemical industry and the combination of importing technology and equipment and researching developing processes with our own patents, so as to realize the sustainable development of the advanced coal chemical industry in China.
