The ongoing discussion about reaching the "peak-oil point" (maximal
delivery rate with conventional methods) emphasizes a fundamental
change of the frame conditions of oil-based basic products. The
alternative with the largest potential is the use of coal. Coal
gasification is the production of coal gas (a mixture of mainly
hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from coal adding agents like
steam/water and oxygen, which can be used in a number of industrial
processes (e.g. hydroformulation and Fischer-Tropsch process). Many
different kinds of coal do naturally occur, and due to shrinking
natural resources, there has been a substantial gain of interest in
poor, ash-rich coal. Beside the quality of coal, there is a number
of other parameters influencing the efficiency of coal
gasification, such as temperature, pressure, and reactor type.
Although several books dealing with the subject of gasification
have recently been published, few are strictly focussed on coal as
feedstock. This monograph provides the reader with the necessary
chemical background on coal gasification. Several types of coal
(baseline coal and ash-rich coal) are compared systematically,
pointing out the technological efforts achieved so far to overcome
this challenge. Using a new, innovative order scheme to evaluate
the gasification process at a glance (the ternary diagram), the
complex network of chemistry, engineering, and economic needs can
be overviewed in a highly efficient way. This book is a must-have
for Chemical and Process Engineers, Engineering Students, as well
as Scientists in the Chemical Industry.
