Kinetic modelling of low temperature direct coal liquefaction: Consideration of dynamic catalyst activity

A kinetic model for direct coal liquefaction at low temperature in the presence of a magnetite nano-catalyst was developed. The model took into account the iron oxide catalyst transformation into its active state as well as the process of reactive dissolution of coal at the reduced temperatures. The...
