[Indirect coal liquefaction]
This is a method in which coal is first gasified and converted into a synthesis gas consisting of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and then a reaction takes place over a catalyst to synthesize hydrocarbon oil. This principle was discovered in the early 1920s by F. Fischer and H. Tropsch of Germany, and is therefore called the Fischer-Tropsch process (F-T process) or simply the Fischer process (Fischer synthesis). This process is still carried out on an industrial scale by Sasol in the Republic of South Africa, and although the liquid fuel produced is mainly paraffinic hydrocarbons, which are suitable for diesel fuel, the gasoline fraction has the disadvantage of having a low octane number when left as is.

[石炭の間接液化]
 石炭をひとまずガス化して一酸化炭素と水素からなる合成ガスに変換したのち,触媒上で反応を行わせて,炭化水素油を合成する方法である。1920年代の初期にドイツのF.フィッシャーとH.トロプシュによってこの原理が発見されたのでフィッシャー=トロプシュ法(F‐T法)あるいは単にフィッシャー法と呼ばれる(フィッシャー合成)。この方法は現在も南アフリカ共和国のサゾール社で工業的規模において実施されているが,生産される液体燃料は主としてパラフィン炭化水素で,ディーゼル軽油としては好適であるが,ガソリン留分はそのままではオクタン価が低い欠点がある。…
