Compared to conventional methods, coal gasification process has a positive effect on human life and nature by reducing air pollution. After the coal gasification process, the products (tar, NOx, SOx, dioxins, furans, hydrocarbons and CO) leaving the reactor should be checked before discharging into ambient air [116, 117]. Solid wastes …
Fossil fuels are still the world's main energy source, including coal, coke, oil, and natural gas. Among them, high-rank solid fuels are widely used in the chemical industry, power plants, and metallurgy, for example, anthracite, coke, and bituminous coal [1, 2], which are indispensable in the short term.Their main application path is …
Gasification is a technological process that can convert any carbonaceous (carbon-based) raw material such as coal into fuel gas, also known as synthesis gas (syngas for short). Gasification occurs in a gasifier, generally a high temperature/pressure vessel where oxygen (or air) and steam are directly contacted with the coal or other feed material …
A schematic diagram of the IGCC process is shown in Fig. 1.Feedstock raw coal is gasified to crude coal gas. The crude coal gas is sent to the water gas shift (WGS) unit to convert CO and water into H 2.Next, the crude coal gas is sent into the acid gas removal (AGR) unit to remove CO 2 and sulfides, and the purified H 2 obtained by this …
Coal combustion and gasification are the processes to utilize coal for production of electricity and many other applications. Global energy demand is increasing day by day. Coal is an abundant source of energy but not a reliable source as it results into high CO2 emissions. Energy industries are expected to decrease the CO2 emission to …
This process decouples the two steps, among them, coal pyrolysis converts the hydrogen in coal to H 2 to the maximum extent without being consumed, and char gasification causes the coke react with the water vapor in the gasification agent (C + H 2 O ↔ H 2 + CO) to generate H 2 and CO. Through cooperative matching of the two …
The gasification process involves two distinct stages: coal devolatilization followed by char gasification, which is specific to the conditions of the reaction. The chapter also discusses the quality of various products obtained from coal gasification: low Btu gas, medium Btu gas, high Btu gas, methane, and hydrogen.
In a dry-feed system the coke or coal is ground and dried together with a fluxing agent in a roller mill with a hot gas drying circuit, similar to that used in conventional pulverized coal power plants. ... The Siemens liquids process is also derived from its coal gasification process and is in operation gasifying tars from a fixed-bed dry ...
Fig. 2 shows the variation of the gasification rate with the carbon content present in the coal in the CO 2 atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and 900 °C. In the figure, Miura et al. [30] found that the gasification reactivity data of chars, prepared from 68 different coals by different authors [19], [31], [32], [33], were very scattered for low-rank …
During the sintering process of iron ore, the size of coke is a crucial variable that affects the sintering efficiency and the quality of the sinter. ... Roberts DG, Harris …
The efforts of the world research activities involved in clean coal technologies development focus to a considerable extent on integrated hydrogen and power generation technologies based on coal gasification. As an alternative to combustion processes, gasification offers increased efficiency, lower negative environmental impact as well as …
from a variety of feedstocks. Two versions of the process were developed more or less in parallel, with the U-GAS® technology developed for gasification of all ranks of coal and the RENUGAS® technology for gasification of highly reactive fuels such as peat, biomass, pulp mill residues and wastes. Through this development process it was
