Developing direct coal liquefaction technology is a better strategic choice for China to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of petroleum and guarantee energy security. However, there are many factors which affect the performance of direct coal liquefaction, and the analysis of these factors is the key to further development of the technology. First in terms of raw materials, mainly summarizes the rank of coal, functional groups of coal, macerals and inorganic minerals of coal, the type, characteristic, function, content and research hotspot of catalyst, the type, function and research status of solvent, and the type and function of reaction atmosphere. It points out the following points:The coal with modest rank, higher content of vitrinite and low content of ash is more suitable for direct liquefaction. Coal powder loaded high dispersion ferro-based catalysts by in situ synthesis is preferable, and it is verified by industry. The materials with more partially hydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are suitable for direct coal liquefaction solvent. The mechanism of hydrogen to provide active hydrogen and other cheap gases to replace the hydrogen atmosphere need further study. And then in terms of process conditions, the effects of rise or decrease of reaction temperature, reaction pressure, coal slurry concentration, feed space velocity and gas-liquid ratio are analyzed and discussed, pointed out that need to be comprehensive consideration of higher oil yield and unit capacity and the unit running smoothly, to select the appropriate process conditions. Finally, it is pointed out that these works will provide some reference for the improvement of direct coal liquefaction technology, and China's direct coal liquefaction industry will have good prospects.
