Abstract: Depending on advanced technological developments in energy production the low quality coals needed the most economical technologies and even in order to make it possible to produce coal-derived products. Compliance with environmental norms of coal pyrolysis or gasification of various type of coals, feasible combustion systems and energy production facilities are needed in today's modern technology, also enable the production of liquid and gaseous coal fuels. However, raw materials and chemical nature of them requires a variety of adaptation methods. This study examined the high sulfur and ash types of Kütahya, Denizli, Aydin, Soma lignite, Sirnak asphaltite and lignite. The representative samples were taken from local areas of the lignites. Fundamentally, the conditions regarding better desulfurization way, the high quality pyrolysis lignite oil production, high value light oil, coal tar and gas products were determined at the goal of high fuel producing yield.

Keywords: Coal Pyrolysis, Desulfurization, Oil Char Production, Semi-Pyrolysis
