Abstract
An integrated coal liquefaction-gasification-naphtha reforming process wherein the slurry containing substantially the entire yield of normally solid dissolved coal produced in the liquefaction zone constitutes the only hydrocarbonaceous feed for the gasification zone and wherein substantially all of the naphtha fraction produced in the liquefaction zone is passed through the reforming zone for conversion to gasoline. The cost in terms of thermal efficiency for performing the reforming step is very low when the amount of syngas produced in the gasification zone is adequate to provide upon direct combustion a considerable proportion of the fuel requirements of both the liquefaction and reformer zones.
