SRC solids - Boiler fuel and building block
Abstract
The current status of the solvent refined coal (SRC) process is reviewed. Pilot projects are assessed and the status of SRC technology is surveyed, with reference to: (1) solids separation, (2) hydrogen generation, (3) primary reactor scale-up, and (4) equipment life, maintenance, and operating difficulties. Both the solids and liquids SRC processes are described, and it is noted that market studies indicate that SRC solids have a unique potential for further processing to produce products for basic industries (liquid fuels, anode coke, and metallurgical coke are examples).
