Gasification mixtures

A porous Vycor glass membrane and a porous gamma-alumina membrane, both having about the same pore diameter of 4 nm, were used to study the separation of hydrogen from other components in the gasification mixture [McMahon et al., 1990]. At a temperature up to a maximum hydrogen concentration of about 40% in the... [Pg.269]

Lurgi coal gasifleadon process A process involving the gasification of coal under pressure with mixtures of steam and oxygen. The reactions produce CO and H,. [Pg.243]

The thermal degradation of mixtures of the common automotive plastics polypropylene, ABS, PVC, and polyurethane can produce low molecular weight chemicals (57). Composition of the blend affected reaction rates. Sequential thermolysis and gasification of commingled plastics found in other waste streams to produce a syngas containing primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen has been reported (58). [Pg.232]

Ammonia from coal gasification has been used for fertilizer production at Sasol since the beginning of operations in 1955. In 1964 a dedicated coal-based ammonia synthesis plant was brought on stream. This plant has now been deactivated, and is being replaced with a new faciUty with three times the production capacity. Nitric acid is produced by oxidation and is converted with additional ammonia into ammonium nitrate fertilizers. The products are marketed either as a Hquid or in a soHd form known as Limestone Ammonium Nitrate. Also, two types of explosives are produced from ammonium nitrate. The first is a mixture of fuel oil and porous ammonium nitrate granules. The second type is produced by emulsifying small droplets of ammonium nitrate solution in oil. [Pg.168]

In 1984, the Ube Ammonia Industry Co. began operating the largest Texaco coal gasification complex to date. This faciUty is located in Ube City, Japan, and has a rated gasification capacity of 1500 t/day of coal, and production capacity of 1000 t/day of ammonia. The plant has successfully gasified coals from Canada, AustraUa, South Africa, and China. At the present time the plant uses a mixture of petroleum coke and coal (43). [Pg.169]

Coal can be converted to gas by several routes (2,6—11), but often a particular process is a combination of options chosen on the basis of the product desired, ie, low, medium, or high heat-value gas. In a very general sense, coal gas is the term appHed to the mixture of gaseous constituents that are produced during the thermal decomposition of coal at temperatures in excess of 500°C (>930°F), often in the absence of oxygen (air) (see Coal CONVERSION PROCESSES, gasification) (3). A soHd residue (coke, char), tars, and other Hquids are also produced in the process ... [Pg.62]

When the recycle soot in the feedstock is too viscous to be pumped at temperatures below 93°C, the water—carbon slurry is first contacted with naphtha carbon—naphtha agglomerates are removed from the water slurry and mixed with additional naphtha. The resultant carbon—naphtha mixture is combined with the hot gasification feedstock which may be as viscous as deasphalter pitch. The feedstock carbon—naphtha mixture is heated and flashed, and then fed to a naphtha stripper where naphtha is recovered for recycle to the carbon—water separation step. The carbon remains dispersed in the hot feedstock leaving the bottom of the naphtha stripper column and is recycled to the gasification reactor. [Pg.423]

Gasification. Gasification converts soHd fuel, tars, and oils to gaseous products such as CO, H2, and CH that can be burned direcdy or used in synthesis gas (syngas) mixtures, ie, CO and mixtures for production of Hquid fuels and other chemicals (47,48) (see Coal conversion processes, gasification Euels, synthetic-gaseous fuel Hydrogen). [Pg.158]

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). [Pg.173]

Sasol Fischer-Tropsch Process. 1-Propanol is one of the products from Sasol s Fischer-Tropsch process (7). Coal (qv) is gasified ia Lurgi reactors to produce synthesis gas (H2/CO). After separation from gas Hquids and purification, the synthesis gas is fed iato the Sasol Synthol plant where it is entrained with a powdered iron-based catalyst within the fluid-bed reactors. The exothermic Fischer-Tropsch reaction produces a mixture of hydrocarbons (qv) and oxygenates. The condensation products from the process consist of hydrocarbon Hquids and an aqueous stream that contains a mixture of ketones (qv) and alcohols. The ketones and alcohols are recovered and most of the alcohols are used for the blending of high octane gasoline. Some of the alcohol streams are further purified by distillation to yield pure 1-propanol and ethanol ia a multiunit plant, which has a total capacity of 25,000-30,000 t/yr (see Coal conversion processes, gasification). [Pg.119]

Orimulsion is a relatively new fuel that is available for the gasification process. Orimulsion is an emulsified fuel, a mixture of natural bitumen (referred to as Orinoco-oil), water (about 30%), and a small quantity of surface active agents. Abundant Orinoco-oil resei ves he under the ground in the northern part of Venezuela. [Pg.1180]

During the late seventies and early eighties, when oil prices rose after the 1973 war, extensive research was done to change coal to liquid hydrocarbons. However, coal-derived hydrocarbons were more expensive than crude oils. Another way to use coal is through gasification to a fuel gas mixture of CO and H2 (medium Btu gas). This gas mixture could be used as a fuel or as a synthesis gas mixture for the production of fuels and chemicals via a Fischer Tropsch synthesis route. This process is... [Pg.23]

Synthesis gas consists of a nonhydrocarhon mixture (H2,CO) ohtain-ahle from more than one source. It is included in this chapter and is further noted in Chapter 5 in relation to methane as a major feedstock for this mixture. This chapter discusses the use of synthesis gas obtained from coal gasification and from different petroleum sources for producing gaseous as well as liquid hydrocarbons (Fischer Tropsch synthesis). [Pg.111]

Cu will be unaffected by the atmosphere, whilst at other atmospheric compositions the pure oxides will be stable. Figure 7.76 illustrates a simplified diagram at 871°C for three metallic elements Cr/Mn/Ni-S-O in a heat-resisting alloy the range for coal gasification is also included. It is clear that CrjOj is stable in all these atmospheres, but NiS will be stable under these atmospheric conditions above 620°C in the form of a eutectic liquid with Ni. Thus, an alloy of Cr and Ni may produce either of these phases or their mixtures leading to corrosion problems. [Pg.1126]

On the basis of this past work and ongoing experiments, we feel that the liquid-phase methanation process promises to become an economic, reliable, and versatile means of converting synthesis gas mixtures to high Btu gas. Chem Systems believes that this technology is a key step in the transformation of fossil feeds into pipeline gas, and we look forward to its successful application in commercial coal gasification plants. [Pg.168]

Vaporizing oil burners prepare the air and fuel mixture by vaporizing the fuel by heating within the burner (gasification). [Pg.83]

Biomass gasification offers the potential for producing a fuel gas that can be used for power generation system or synthesis gas applications. The volatile matter contains a considerable amount of tar which is a complex mixture of aromatics. Despite extensive research efforts tar formation which causes the pipe plugging and the reduction of conversion efficiency is still a major problem in biomass gasification systems [1-6]. [Pg.517]
