Abstract. To produce liquid fuels from coal, either direct or indirect liquefaction routes can be used. The discussion of the former route is the subject of Chapter 6; the latter route will be discussed here. The indirect liquefaction route consists of the conversion of coal to synthesis gas (hydrogen plus carbon monoxide), and then the ...

1. Gasification is a technological process that can convert any carbonbased raw material such as coal, biomass and organic wastes into fuel gas, also known as syngas (netl, 2021). Gasification typically takes place in a high temperature pressure vessel where oxygen (or air)
The feedstock for the plants is subbituminous coal supplied by Mining, a sister company of Synfuels. Natural gas is also used as a supplemental feedstock. A proprietary ironbased FT process is used to convert the synthesis gas (syngas) produced by the gasifiers to gasoline, light olefins (alkenes), and a variety of other products.
The FischerTropsch process (FT) is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, known as syngas, into liquid reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts, typically at temperatures of 150300 °C (302572 °F) and pressures of one to several tens of FischerTropsch process is an important reaction ...
option is to convert coal into high quality, clean burning transportation fuel. There are two commercially demonstrated routes for converting coal to transportation fuels through gasification (Figure 1). The widely known FischerTropsch process was first discovered in the 1920s. It has been commercially practiced by in several
In fact, the dominant application of synthesis gas from coal is the production of synthetic hydrocarbons for transportation fuels Fischer Tropsch (FT) synthesis. This is what is primarily done in South Africa by the company and was also one of the methods used by the Germans in WWII to generate liquid fuels; in fact, direct ...
In 1993, successfully proved its low temperature FischerTropsch (LTFT) technology with an ironbased catalyst to convert coalderived syngas to liquid products. The plant is a relatively small scale, 2,500 bpd commercial facility that was recently converted to use natural gas as feed.
Although currently uses coal rather than natural gas to produce syngas, the feed to the GTL synthesis step is still syngas. , Mossgas (Pty.) Ltd. (OGJ, Dec. 6, 1999, p. 48), and Shell ...

In industrial chemistry, coal gasification is the process of producing syngas—a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H 2), carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), and water vapour (H 2 O)—from coal and water, air and/or oxygen.. Historically, coal was gasified to produce coal gas, also known as "town gas".Coal gas is combustible and was used for heating and ...

Producing syngas from natural gas uses the "steam reforming" process, which is far simpler than the coal gasification step. The plant in Qatar uses gas from the North Field, one of the largest gas ...
Gasification is often considered the baseline technology and foundation for developing many advanced carbonbased fuels and chemicals. For example, gasification is the key conversion step for converting coal to H 2, Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), liquid fuels, and the capture of CO 2 for sequestration.
Today produces the equivalent of 150,000 bbl/day of fuels and chemical feedstock from more than 40 million tons of low grade coal. In converting coal to petroleum products, coal is first gasified with oxygen and steam to syngas, a mixture of H{sub 2} and CO, which after purification is converted to hydrocarbons and some oxygenates by ...

FischerTropsch (FT) synthesis is a heterogeneous catalytic process that converts biomassderived syngas (mixture of CO and H 2) to synthetic liquid fuels and valuable chemicals. FT synthesis has received renewed interest in recent years due to the necessity to decrease global dependency on fossil fuels. FT synthesis is a promising technology ...

th enabled the conversion of some 43 Mt/y of coal into 7,4 Mt/y of transport fuels and chemicals (, 2008). Most of the remaining coalbased syngas produced in other regions of the world is used for ammonia or methanol production, and, in China, for the production of towngas. China has become the global test case for largescale coal ...
Coal gasification is recognized as the core technology of clean coal utilization that exhibits significant advantages in hydrogenrich syngas production and CO2 emission reduction.

Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas .
