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 ...
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 . Common ways for refining synthetic fuels include the FischerTropsch conversion ...
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 ...
The initial syngas can be derived from coal alone or from a coal/biomass mixture. The process is the same when biomass is included, but the amount of CO 2 emitted during the process decreases as the proportion of biomass increases. In the lesscommon Mobil process, the syngas can be converted to methanol, which is subsequently converted to ...
Coal utilization Gasification: While the goal of combustion is to produce the maximum amount of heat possible by oxidizing all the combustible material, the goal of gasification is to convert most of the combustible solids into combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. During gasification, coal initially undergoes devolatilization, and the residual char undergoes some ...

The main function of the gasifier is to convert solid coal into syngas. However, coal contains water in its pore structure, the amounts varying depending on the type of coal utilized. ... Today, the Lurgi coal gasification process is the world's most broadly utilized commercial technology and is the largest producer of syngas worldwide ...
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.
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 ...
I, built and started in 1955, operated 17 Lurgi FBDB TM gasifiers to convert the syngas produced from subbituminous coal into a wide variety of liquid chemicals. In 2004, this facility retired the gasifiers in favor of natural gas autothermal reformers ( Mills, 2016; NETL, a ).
steps: (i) coal gasification; and (ii) conversion of the gas (called syngas) to liquid fuels (Fig. 1). A variety of CTL/GTL technologies for converting coal feedstock into liquid fuels exists, the most popular being Fisher Tropsch process. Generally the steps involved are: (i) feedstock preparation; (ii) gasification; (iii) syngas cleanup; (iv ...
Coal can also be liquefied directly, without going through the production of synthesis gas. This process is termed coaltoliquid (CTL) and is a reasonably mature technology. The process typically uses the technique of heating under pressure (up to 470°C, 200 bar) and hydrogenation where hydrogen is added to a coalwater slurry. The slurry ...

Indirect liquefaction processes require first gasifying the solid feedstocks into a syngas. Therefore, while direct coal liquefaction (DCL) takes coal directly into a liquid phase, indirect coal liquefaction (ICL) consists of two major steps: (a) gasification to produce a synthesis gas (syngas); and (b) conversion of the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2) in the syngas to a range of ...
Firstly, coal gasification leads to low H 2:CO ratios and secondly the process economics is strongly affected by the coal reactivity as this determines the carbon conversion and gas yields. Furthermore Wu Wang [ 5 ] identified that methane could be an ideal source for H 2, for syngas conversion requiring high H 2, and that coalbed gas is a ...

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 ...
