Industrial coal gasification technologies covering baseline and high-ash coal
Coal gasification is the process for production of syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and dioxide, from coal and water. It is a clasical example for the interaction of basic chemistry, chemical engineering, ecological and economic aspects. This monograph provides the reader with the neccessary basic scientific background and displays with industry-proven examples efficiency, but also boundaries of models. Special emphases are a comprehensive overview on latest technology developments, and the introduction of an innovative, new order scheme for evaluation of the gasification process.
Coal Gasification in a Global Context -- Coal Characterization for Gasification -- Fundamentals -- Coal Gasification Modeling -- Coal Gasification Technology Survey -- Thermodynamic Process Assessment -- Exergetic Process Assessment -- Concept Study: The Internal Circulation Gasifier -- Trends of Gasification Development.
