At the institute ＇＇Lengipronephtekhim＇＇ (Sankt-Petersburg, Russia) a feasibility study of the expediency of erecting an enterprise for processing partly granulated liptobiolithic coals using a conveyer-type roasting machine has been carried out. These units are widely used in metallurgy for roasting ironstone pellets. Trials have demonstrated the theoretical possibility of this technology to be taken into use for processing liptobiolith (Table 1) to produce oil and semicoke (Table 2). The general scheme with the first stage of 50,000 tons of coal per year, the second one of 400,000 tons of coal per year, and all main technical-economic characteristics (Figs. 1 and 2) are given.
