Abstract
IT is well known that coals can be converted to liquid fuels by catalytic hydrogenation at high temperatures and pressures. However, coals of high rank (>89 per cent carbon m.a.f.) are liquefied in poor yield1; anthracites (>92 per cent carbon m.a.f.) are very difficult to hydrogenate; and graphite cannot be hydrogenated to liquid or solid products.
