Publication number: 20220177312Abstract: Described herein are integrated thermochemical processes for the deliberate decomposition, extraction and conversion of coal into high-value products and goods via solvent extraction, chemical reaction and/or separation. The described systems and methods are versatile and may be used to generate a variety of intermediate, derivative and finished high value products including chemicals (aromatics, asphaltenes, naphthalenes, phenols and precursors for the production of polyamides, polyurethanes, polyesters, graphitic materials), polymer composite products (resins, paints, coatings, adhesives), agricultural materials, building materials, carbon fiber, graphene products and other materials that are substantially more valuable that the energy generated via combustion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: William SCHAFFERS, David BELL, John MYERS, Kaspars KRUTKRAMELIS, Paul BEHRENS
