Coal-to-liquid Technologies

[smithjohnson011]

Gasoline and diesel fuel are hydrocarbons. The name gives us a clue as to how to convert coal to liquid fuel: combine hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbon fuels are designated by the number of carbon atoms in their molecules. For example, methane, the main constituent in natural gas, has one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. Ethane, butane, and propane are gaseous at room temperature and have two, three, and four carbon atoms respectively. There are many hydrocarbons, and each has its own unique properties. Pentane, hexane, and heptane are liquid hydrocarbons but not desirable as fuels for internal-combustion engines as they have low ignition temperatures and cause “knocking” or premature combustion that can seriously damage an engine. Octane, with 8 carbon and 18 hydrogen atoms, is the optimum for standard engines, while cetane with 16 carbon and 34 hydrogen atoms is most desirable as a diesel engine fuel.

Wow! Awesome Technology you have given.

This is not a new concept.China has already started a 22,000 bbl project(Worlds largest commercial production.). I think this is also an option for pakistan for its fuel needs. India is already working in this field..

You have 6 post all to do with this crowd,
lincenergy.us
some direct from their web site.

Now you would not be one of their employees would you?
