Gasification in a Thermal Plasma Jet of Water Vapor

Coal Gasification in a Thermal Plasma Jet of Water Vapor 

Generally the gasification of ai carbon-based solid fuel can be described by the formula 

This process requires high-temperatures for reasonable reaction rates, and it is very endothermic. To provide necessary heat into the system, a portion of the carbon should be burnt. Heat in this case is released by an exothermic combustion process  

Volatile compounds with respect to organic mass of coal 58.9 mass % 

Carbon (C) contained in coal before gasification 57.7 mass %
