Bi-Gas [Bituminous Gas] A coal gasification process using a two-stage, entrained-flow slagging gasifier. Developed by Bituminous Coal Research. A 120-tons-per-day pilot plant was built in 1976 at Homer City, PA, under sponsorship from the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and the American Gas Association.

The basic reaction was discovered in 1923 by F. Fischer and H. Tropsch, working at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Coal Research in Miilheim, Germany. In 1984, Mako and Samuel wrote, The quantity of patents and literature that has appeared on the subject in the past 60 years makes it virtually impossible to retrace stepwise the developments of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The first full-scale plant was built by Ruhrchemie at Holten, from 1934 to 1936 by 1939, eight more plants had been built in Germany. All of these plants were disabled by air attacks in 1944. Used in the SASOL coal gasification plant in South Africa. The first modern Fischer-Tropsch plant outside Africa was built by Shell in Malaysia in 1993, based on natural gas. 

Alternative feedstocks for petrochemicals have been the subject of much research and study over the past several decades, but have not yet become economically attractive. Chemical producers are expected to continue to use fossil fuels for energy and feedstock needs for the next 75 years. The most promising sources which have received the most attention include coal, tar sands, oil shale, and biomass. Near-term advances ia coal-gasification technology offer the greatest potential to replace oil- and gas-based feedstocks ia selected appHcations (10) (see Feedstocks, coal chemicals). 

C -Chemisty. A great deal of research has been undertaken on the development of PGM catalysts for the manufacture of chemicals and fuels from syngas, a mixture of CO and H2 obtained from coal gasification (see Coal conversion processes).
