る。The reaction mode in the coal liquefaction step 12 will be described below. First, a coal hydrolysis reaction, a coal thermal decomposition reaction, and a hydrogenation reaction are considered as lightening reactions of coal in supercritical water. In high-temperature water, non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds in coal are dissociated, and the coal expands. Thereby, the decomposition and liquefaction reaction of coal proceeds more effectively. In the coal hydrolysis reaction, OH − and H + of H 2 O are added to a hetero element portion connecting the benzene ring of the coal, and the coal is reduced in molecular weight. In the thermal decomposition reaction of coal, the coal is simply pyrolyzed and decomposed. Further, in the hydrogenation reaction, radicals generated during the above reaction are added to H
Is added, which stabilizes the pyrolyzed species. In addition, a reaction between hydrogen and stable molecules that does not thermally decompose occurs. Here, a hydrogenation reaction can also occur in the hydroxyl group and the carboxylic acid group generated by the hydrolysis, but the hydrogen reaction to the above-mentioned radical occurs more predominantly. The above reactions are not performed individually,
It is performed concurrently and complexly, and lightening of coal progresses.

れらのことも軽質化の促進に寄与する。The slurry prepared in the pretreatment step 11 is pumped to a coal liquefaction step 12 by a high pressure pump 11a, where it is further pressurized and heated to a supercritical state. In this coal liquefaction step 12, the average temperature is 420 ° C. and the average density is 0.4 g.
While maintaining the slurry in a supercritical state of / cm 3 , the above-mentioned reactions (1) to (4) are caused simultaneously to form a complex. Water in a supercritical state has a higher degree of dissociation into hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions than normal water and has a higher temperature, so that the hydrolysis reaction of coal is promoted. This hydrolysis is carried out not only for coal but also for heavy liquefied oil as a primary decomposition product. In the water gas shift reaction of the above formula (2), it is said that the activation energy is reduced to about 1/3 of the ordinary energy in high-density water, and therefore the speed of the water gas shift reaction in supercritical water is increased, It contributes to promote the lightening reaction of coal by active hydrogen (H 2 ). The liquefied coal is heavy oil, medium and light oil, and the slurry that has not been completely liquefied becomes a residue. In the coal liquefaction step 12, the plurality of reactions described above are performed in association with each other, so that coal lightening is promoted. It is also possible to have desulfurization and denitrification effects. Further, water in a supercritical state expands coal due to its low dielectric constant, has a certain degree of solubility in coal itself or heavy oil, and can be uniformly mixed with gas. These also contribute to the promotion of lightening.

By adding oxygen or air to the slurry containing the char formed as a residue in step 2 while maintaining the supercritical state,
This char is partially oxidized to carbon monoxide as shown in the above formula (1). Even in the reaction of the above-mentioned formula (1), the activation energy is reduced to about 1/3 of the ordinary energy in high-density water, so that CO generated by the thermal decomposition of char is generated.
Also promptly reacts. Ash as a residue of the partial oxidation step is disposed separately. The heat required for the reaction in the coal liquefaction step 12 can be supplied by the combustion heat of the char, and there is no need to supply energy from the outside. Note that, in the reactions of the formulas (1) and (2), CoMo / Al 2 O 3 , NiW / Al 2 O 3 , NiW /
It is also possible to use a catalyst such as zeolite to promote lightening or desulfurization or denitrification of the converted oil. Also, since the reaction temperature of sulfur and nitrogen is low, NOx and SOx are not generated from the conversion process and trapped in water, so there is no need to provide a post-process such as desulfurization or denitrification.
It also has the advantage of simplifying the process.

(1) Since the hydrogen required for the hydrogenation reaction is covered by active hydrogen generated from water, there is no need to supply expensive hydrogen from outside. (2) In the supercritical state, water, gas, converted oil, etc. act in a uniform phase, so that coal can be lightened efficiently. In particular, water itself has an effect of suppressing the polymerization reaction of the product. (3) The thermal efficiency of the whole process is extremely high because combustion in supercritical water is used when liquefying coal. (4) If the combustion heat of the char is used as the energy required for heating, there is no need to supply energy from outside. (5) A pretreatment step for removing water is not required, and fractionation of the liquefied oil can be performed only by a reduced pressure operation, so that the distillation and separation step of the liquefied oil is simplified. Therefore, the process is simplified as compared to the conventional conversion process. (6) Since the combustion temperature is low, and sulfur and nitrogen are trapped in water and NOx is not generated, the large desulfurization and denitrification steps required in the conventional method are not required.
