What is the difference between coal-derived diesel and diesel for vehicles? How to make diesel fuel from coal oil and diesel?
I want to ask what the difference is between diesel produced from coal and diesel produced from petroleum?
The diesel produced from coal-to-oil processes consists mainly of straight-chain alkanes, has a high cetane number, and contains virtually no aromatics. Its drawback is its low density; as a result, it cannot be sold on its own at present and can only be sold to third parties for use in blending
You are referring to diesel that is liquefied indirectly; directly liquefied diesel has a higher density, a higher content of naphthenes, and a lower cetane number, and it is also used in blending
