Abstract: Apparatus and processes for production of coal derived oils from a mixture of pulverized coal and a coal solvent in predetermined proportions, which when agitated produces a substantially ash-free coal slurry liquid. Subsequently the coal slurry liquid is heat treated in a fractionator to produce predetermined products, and a portion of the resultant coal solvent is recovered and recycled to produce coal derived oils.
Abstract: Production of coke and activated carbon from coal products, including the production of low ash coal and activated carbon products from coal products, and the production of very low ash coke and activated carbon products from coal products.
