Solvent extraction of coal: Influence of solvent chemical structure on extraction yield and product composition
DownloadSpring 2012
In recent years the need for new carbon sources to supplement crude oil for the production of fuels and chemicals, again focused on coal as suitable candidate. Old and new technologies are being developed to convert coal in valuable products. An old technology such as solvent extraction of coal...

Fall 2012
The use of solvents for extraction of bitumen is attractive because no wet tailings are produced. Studies have already shown that hydrocarbon solvents can achieve the same level of bitumen recovery as the current aqueous extraction method. However, solvent recovery must be very efficient to avoid...
