Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products. As compared with conventional mining and surface gasification, UCG promises lower capital ...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for the future use of unworked coal. UCG permits coal to be gasified in situ within the coal seam, via a matrix of coal is ignited and air is injected underground to sustain a fire, which is essentially used to "mine" the coal and produce a combustible synthetic gas which can be used for industrial heating, power ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) has been identified as an environmentally friendly technique for gasification of deep unmineable coal seams in situ. This technology has the potential to be a clean and promising energy provider from coal seams with minimal greenhouse gas emission. The UCG eliminates the presence of coal miners underground hence, it is believed to be a much safer technique ...
1Introduction. Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process in which air, steam and oxygen are injected into the insitu coal seams. Then the coal is ignited and converted into syngas (such as H 2, CO, CH 4, and CO 2) [[1], [2], [3]].During the UCG process, the temperature in the gasification face and cavity can normally reach °C [[1], [2]].
During underground coal gasification, the process gas will tend to escape from the cavity if there is an outward pressure gradient. In order to prevent this, a common practice is to ensure that the fluid flow from the strata surrounding the cavity must be towards it [46]. However, under specific conditions where coal acts as a confined aquifer ...
The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) process is a complex and multiphysics phenomenon, thus making it difficult to develop a mathematical model that encapsulates all dynamical aspects.

Coal ignition is initiated through the use of an electric coil or gas firing near the face of the coal seam. Continuous oxidant flow through the injection well allows for gasification to be sustained [].The temperature of the gasification process is maintained through varying the oxidant flow to the reactor [].In UCG systems, the temperature of the coal face can reach temperatures in excess of ...

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) requires monitoring of the gasification area because the gasification process is invisible and the reaction temperature exceeds 1000 °C. Many fracturing events that occurred due to coal heating can be captured with Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring technique during UCG.
Underground coal gasification (Bhutto et al. 2013; Cena and Thorness 1981; Perkins 2018) consists of the reaction of the oxidizing reagent (mainly oxygen) and water with the raw coal located underground, which results in the production of process gas and byproducts such as postprocess water and tar main idea of the process is to obtain as much process gas as possible with ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an alternative way to convert underground coal reserves into a synthesis gas (syngas), such as methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, in situ, where it is infeasible or uneconomical for traditional mining methods [1,2,3,4].UCG has the potential to be a more environmentally friendly and costeffective way to extract energy from coal, as it can reduce the ...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a gasification process used to produce gas from coal in situ by injecting air or oxygen into nonmined coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface wells.
