Features: Coal, as an important energy source and chemical raw material, has become increasingly significant with the development of human material civilization. Particularly for China, which possesses abundant coal resources, the better development and utilization of coal resources hold great strategic importance. This manual comprehensively introduces new technologies, processes, materials, and equipment in coal conversion and coal chemical engineering, and thoroughly explores the chemical utilization and methods of coal as an energy and chemical raw material. The manual is divided into 11 parts, 54 chapters, and nearly 2.82 million words. It provides detailed descriptions of coalfield geology, coal storage and transportation, combustion, gasification, coking, liquefaction, and the physicochemical foundations, process flows, process condition selection, structural and material properties of major equipment, as well as related public works such as environmental protection, safety, and instrument automation. The content of the manual has the following characteristics.
① Advanced technology and comprehensive methods. It reflects the modern technical level of international coal chemical engineering in the 20th century, such as fluidized bed coal-water slurry pressure gasification, pulverized coal pressure gasification, fluidized bed ash fusion gasification technology, underground coal gasification technology in gasification technology; and in coking, the separation and extraction technology of coal tar coal chemical products, direct and indirect liquefaction technology of coal liquefaction, etc.
② The entire manual combines theory with practice, featuring practical and highly operational content.
③ The utilization of coal covers a wide range, such as integrated gasification combined cycle power generation, fuel cells, carbon materials, the production of ammonia, methanol, dimethyl ether, low-carbon alcohols, and various chemical products through hydroxyl synthesis from synthesis gas, etc., are all introduced.
④ The manual includes a large number of illustrations, data, and formulas, with clear and concise writing.
⑤ The manual is an authoritative monograph, appearing in China for the first time. The authors are composed of top experts and scholars from across the country. This manual can be used by research, design, and production engineers in the fields of coal and coal chemical engineering; it can also serve as a reference for students and teachers in relevant college and university majors. The book includes content such as the role of coal in energy, modern coal chemical engineering and clean coal technology, the composition and properties of coal, and the development model of modern coal chemical engineering.
