Carbochemistry

Carbochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the transformation of coal (bituminous coal, coal tar, anthracite, lignite, graphite, and charcoal) into useful products and raw materials.[1] The processes that are used in carbochemistry include degasification processes such as carbonization and coking, gasification processes, and liquefaction processes.[2]
