Hi friend,
Heating of any substance strongly in the absence of air or oxygen which results in formation of refined product is known as destructive distillation.
We obtain different products from this-:
PRODUCT-1 is Coke.
It is a solid fuel and is smokeless. It is black in colour, tough, porous. It has 98%carbon content.
It is use in manufacturing of alloys. Used as a reducing agent during metallurgy. Used for making produces and water gas.
PRODUCT-2 and BY PRODUCT-1 is Coal tar.
It is thick oily liquid. It is a mixture of 200 substances. Rich in carbon based compounds used for making chemicals like naphthalene, explosives, perfumes, drugs, and plastics.
PRODUCT-3 and BY PRODUCT-2 is Coal gas
It is obtained during the process of making coal. It is a by product. Used as an illuminant. It is also used in industries.
Hope it helps.............

Answer:
When a substance is heated in the absence of air, the process is called destructive distillation. It results in the decomposition of the substance, bearing carbon rich residue. Destructive distillation of coal produces coke, coal tar, coal gas and ammonia solution.
