The authors of this …
War, both Germany and the UK had operational coal liquefaction plant.

Direct liquefaction processes add hydrogen to the hydrogen deficient organic structure of the coal, breaking it down only as far as is necessary to produce distillable liquids. Coal dissolution is accomplished under high temperature (~400 0C) and pressure (~1500-3000 psi) with hydrogen and a coal-derived solvent.

At present, direct coal liquefaction is not only for fuel but also for chemicals, which shows high efficiencies in atom utilization and energy. Many articles have reported direct coal liquefaction using many kinds of coal [[12], [13], [14]]. And the yields of oil and aromatic chemicals from different coals are much different.
Abstract. Direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) is a by-product of coal-to-liquid technology when raw coal is converted into liquid fuel, which is harmful to the ecological environment and human health. DCLR can be developed into a road asphalt modifier via different techniques, that can improve and enhance asphalt performance.

In the proposed direct coal liquefaction system, the total capital investments are about 21.68 and 17.24 billion yuan under CSP growth and policy scenarios, respectively.
Direct coal liquefaction can be traced back to the work of the German chemist Friedrich Bergius, who, in approximately 1913, began studying the chemistry of coal. In his studies, he attempted the hydrogenation of coal using temperatures exceeding 350°C and hydrogen under high pressure. The first commercial-scale direct liquefaction plant was ...

Under Shenhua's liquefaction project, about 2 t of DAF coal can yield 1 t of oil. Given that 1 t of non-DAF coal consists of 6–7 per cent ash and 12–13 per cent water, and adding coal required as fuel for turbines during the production process, it is safe to say that about 3 t of non-DAF coal can generate 1 t of oil.

Direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) is an industrial by-product from the direct coal liquefaction process. It is harmful to the environment and the human body when directly charged or used due to the high content of sulfur, ash, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Therefore, it is of great importance to treat and utilize DCLR.
Indirect liquefaction processes require first gasifying the solid feedstocks into a syngas. Therefore, while direct coal liquefaction (DCL) takes coal directly into a liquid phase, indirect coal liquefaction (ICL) consists of two major steps: (a) gasification to produce a synthesis gas (syngas); and (b) conversion of the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen …
