Question

The process that converts solid coal into liquid hydrocarbon fuel is called:(a) Liquefaction(b) Carbonation(c) Catalytic conversion(d) Cracking

Answer 1

a) Liquefaction.............

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

Liquefaction, is the right answer.

The process through which the solid coal is converted into liquid hydrocarbons is known as Coal liquefaction. This method is usually recognized as "Coal to X", where X may be many different hydrocarbon-based elements. This process of liquefaction takes place when saturated coal or partially saturated coal loses strength and stiffness. Thus, during this process of losing stiffness the coal which is a solid act like a liquid.
