operating conditions (mainly temperature and oxygen/carbon ratio) all affect slagging behavior. Because coal has varying ash …. In Part I, we review the main types and the operating conditions of entrained-flow gasifiers and coal properties used in … IGCC plants; we identify and discuss the key coal ash properties and the operating conditions impacting slag behavior …

Direct coal liquefaction has been studied and practiced since the 1930s. It was used in Germany during World War II to … and many different technologies have been investigated. Since the US is rich in coal resources, this is one way to be … notable of these being H-Coal, Exxon Donor Solvent, Solvent Refined Coal, and Two Stage Liquefaction. The key elements of …

Biomass is relatively cleaner than coal and is the only renewable carbon resource that can be directly converted into … thermal conversion of coal and biomass as a blend. Most notable topics reviewed are slagging and fouling caused by the …-conversion with coal. The catalytic activity is most noticeable when blended with high rank coals. The synergy during co-conversion is …

The current study is focused on controlling sulphur emissions by pre-treating coal to remove sulphur prior to … value recoveries were significant. Increase in oxygen content is reported as a measure of carbon loss. The coal samples were …
