Syngas Compositions, Cold Gas and Carbon Conversion Efficiencies for Different Coal Gasification Processes and all Coal Ranks

 

Abstract

This Paper presents comparison of syngas compositions, for all coal ranks, as produced from different types of coal gasification processes currently in use, namely entrained flow, fluidized bed, and fixed bed gasifiers. Cold gas and carbon conversion efficiencies were investigated. The syngas composition varies with the applied gasification process. The importance of this research arises from the fact that gasifiers produce the environmentally clean fuel required to run any Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power system. A procedure was conducted to get estimates for bituminous coal. It is important to have knowledge of the chemical reactions which take place in each gasifier and the raw syngas produced from the specific reaction involved to develop an Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Power Generation plant with CO2 recovery in order to increase the cycle efficiency and mitigate CO2 emission and other pollutants. The results indicate that the entrained flow gasifier is the dominant one.

Overview of Known Alkaliphilic Bacteria from Bauxite Residue

Abstract Alkaliphilic bacteria usually grow well at pH 9, and the most extremophilic strains can grow up to values as high as pH 12-13. This group of bacteria has the ability to metabolically reduce alkalinity and are tolerant of high concentrations of ions and metals. Interest in extreme alkaliphiles has been shown as they are sources of useful, stable enzymes, and the cells themselves can be used for biotechnological and other applications at high pH values. Many industrial processes produce highly alkaline waste that is contaminated with toxic trace metals/metalloid. Thus, using alkaliphilic microorganisms is considered an attractive alternative method for treating industrial alkaline residues. Bauxite refining is one of the activities that most produces highly alkaline waste. Alumina extraction from bauxite using concentrated sodium hydroxide in the Bayer process generates a slurry and an extremely alkaline (pH of 9 to 13) by-product known as bauxite residue or r

Effect of Annealing Process on Microstructure of SiC-Mg Mixture Powder

Abstract SiC particles with 8wt.% magnesium alloy powders as additives were mixed followed by annealing at 280 and 400 ℃ for 1 and 4 h. The particle size, phase condition, morphology and compositions distribution were analyzed using laser diffraction analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that particles mixed homogeneously before annealing. Annealing processes have a positive effect on the decrease of magnesium alloy particle size. It has almost no effect on magnesium alloy particle size with increasing the annealing duration at 280 ℃. However, the diameter of magnesium particle decreased obviously with increasing the annealing duration at 400 ℃. Magnesium alloy particles annealed at 400 ℃ is smaller than that of the 280 ℃ ones under the same annealing duration. Si component was observed in powder annealed at both temperatures. Grain size of SiC was reduced and microstrain was improved with increase of annealing temperatu
