Abstract
A method of processing a coal feed to produce aromatic hydrocarbon compounds includes providing a coal tar stream and converting the coal tar stream to a conversion product comprising at least olefins, paraffins, and aromatics. The process further includes separating the olefins and Cparaffins from the conversion product, and contacting the separated olefins and the Cparaffins with a catalyst to dehydrogenize, oligomerize, and cyclize the olefins and the Cparaffins, to form aromatic hydrocarbon compounds.
