Coal liquefaction process development: Solving potential health and environmental problems

Robert H. Gray

Energy, 1986, vol. 11, issue 11, 1337-1346

Abstract: Chemists, biologists, ecologists, and engineers have been developing a data-base to identify and evaluate risks to humans and the environment and strategies to minimize potential risks from large-scale coal liquefaction. Coal-liquids produced by various processes and under various stages of design and operating conditions have been screened for potential health and environmental effects. Toxicologically active materials have been fractionated and chemical constituents of biologically active fractions have been identified, and the environmental fate of problematic agents is being determined.
