The invention relates to a treatment method for dehydrating and upgrading high-
moisture and high-volatile low-rank 
coal, and discloses a method for preparing 
blast furnace blowing semicoke by upgrading low-rank 
coal based on a high-pressure 
hydrothermal reaction, wherein the method comprises four steps of low-rank 
coal pretreatment, high-pressure hydrothermal upgrading, 
waste heat recycling and upgraded semicoke 
dehydration and 
drying. According to the method, low-heat-value low-rank coal is converted into high-quality 
blast furnace blowing upgrading semicoke by utilizing a high-pressure 
hydrothermal reaction upgrading technology, wherein the 
moisture content of the semicoke 
air drying base is less than 6%, the volatile component content is less than 25%, the Hardgrove 
grind ability indexis greater than 60, the high-order 
heat generation value is greater than 24000 kJ / kg, soluble 
potassium salt, 
sodium salt and 
sulfate components in ash are dissolved out, the organic 
sulfur in coal iseffectively separated out, and the upgraded semicoke can meet the 
performance index requirements of coal for 
blast furnace blowing; and the method provided by the invention effectively solves the problems of 
high water content, high volatile component content, low heat value and high harmful element content of blast furnace blowing of low-rank coal, and provides a clean, efficient, low-energy-consumption and high-added-value low-rank coal upgrading utilization method.
