AI Technical Summary
Existing coal tar pretreatment methods suffer from poor pretreatment effects, low efficiency, low resource utilization, and difficulty in meeting environmental protection requirements. In particular, they can easily cause bed blockage and catalyst deactivation in fixed-bed hydrogenation units.
The process combines centrifugal separation and filtration, using organic compound solvents or solvent oils to assist separation, and combines pretreatment agent contact reaction under hydrogen conditions to reduce the metal and ash content in coal tar.
It effectively reduces the metal and ash content in coal tar, simplifies the process, reduces investment and operating costs, avoids phenolic water pollution, and meets environmental protection requirements.
