Gasification of coal is a process whereby coal is converted to a syngas, which is predominately a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Gasification is the thermochemical conversion of organic solid material (coal, biomass, plastics, and organic waste) into a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H 2), carbon dioxide (CO 2), and methane (CH 4) via partial typically carried out at temperatures of ℃ and atmospheric pressure in the presence of pure oxygen, air, steam, and CO 2 [5, 7, 8].
Abstract. Coal gasification is an important industrial process for converting raw coal into more useful and cleaner carbon feedstocks for use in power generation and as precursors for other transformations. Coal gasification involves complex heterogeneous physical and chemical changes that occur between coal and gaseous reactants.
In contrast to traditional coal combustion, coal gasification processes can be thought to include: pyrolyzers, cokers, cyclic gas generators, and gas producers. All of these processes are heated with substoichiometric air, that is, insufficient oxygen to completely convert the coal to the final products of combustion.
Coal gasification is a wellproven technology that provides an excellent way to utilize vast resources of coal efficiently and cleanly. The nearterm application of coal gasification is in conjunction with combined cycle systems to generate electricity. Modern coal gasification processes produce high pressure syngas, which can be fed as fuel to ...
