Prospect of lignite dry distillation in China

Lignite is becoming one of primary energy sources in the future,which is abundant in China.It is not easy to utilize lignite directly due to its high-moisture,low heat value,easy weathering and self-ignition characteristics.But it’s an ideal material for dry distillation because of its high volatile and activity,great H/C atomic ratio.The lignite dry distillation is very significant because it guarantees sustainable development of coal chemical industry,environmental protection and energy security.Analyse the prospect of lignite dry distillation.
