This article traces the evolution and development of a modern coal liquefaction technology, the EDS (Exxon Donor Solvent) process, over a period of 15 years. During this time the technology has been advanced from laboratory experiments to a pilot plant with a coal feed rate of 250 tons per day, and findings from several areas of science and technology have been important. The process is now in the final stage of development to generate the data needed to design a plant of commercial size.
本文追溯了一种现代煤炭液化技术——EDS（埃克森供氢溶剂）工艺在 15 年时间里的演变和发展。在此期间，该技术已经从实验室实验推进到了一个日处理 250 吨煤的中试工厂，而科学技术的多个领域的发现都非常重要。该工艺目前正处于开发的最后阶段，以生成设计商业规模工厂所需的数据。
