Reaction Engineering of Direct Coal Liquefaction

Direct coal liquefaction has been studied and practiced since the 1930s. It was used in Germany during World War II to produce synthetic fuels when there was no oil allowed into the country. Since then, it has been studied in the United States and many different technologies have been investigated. Since the US is rich in coal resources, this is one way to be energy independent. Most of the dev...

Bioleaching of Molybdenum from a Coal Liquefaction Catalyst Residue

bioleaching, molybdenum disulfide, catalyst residue Molybdenum disulfide, MoSz, is used as a catalyst in coal-oil coprocessing. For most processes using molybdenum catalysts to be economical, the molybdenum must be recovered and recycled. Chemical recovery schemes have been devised, but typically recover only a fraction of the molybdenum. There are reports in the literature that bacteria can ox...
