Structure/activity relationships in coprecipitated 97101142 nickel-alumina catalysts using CO2 adsorption and methanation Aksoylu, A. E. et al. Appl. Cutal.. A. 1996, 145, (l-2), 185-193. The study detailed in this paper involved the examination of a series of coprecipitated Ni/AlrOl catalysts containing O-2.5 wt.% Ni for total surface area. total pore volume, metal surface area, COz adsorption and CO2 methanation activity in order to study the relation between metal content. structure and catalyst activity. These catalysts are efficient promoters for methanation. Methanation activity is dependent on the nickel content and the degree of CO2 adsorption at the reaction considered. Although AlzOl does not exhibit methanation activity, it is active for CO2 adsorption.

(In Chinese) The gasification test for producing blue gas was conducted in a small. single tube reactor, with hriquettetes made from a mixture of fine coal and shift agents. The composition and yield of the product gas depended on the type and quantity of the shift agent. temperature and time of gasification; steam flow rate, etc. These results have heen verified in an industrial gasification test in a two stage hlue gas gasifier.

This article presents an investigation into the impacts of changes in coal quality on the performances of gasification processes and integrated gasification-combined cycle (IGCC) plants. Twenty-two imported coals were evaluated. Among the imported coals to Korea, bituminous coal was superior to subbituminous coal for IGCC power generation, partly because of solids concentration limitations in a slurry feeding system and energy requirements for drying for a dry feeding system for the subbituminous CdS.

Chang, J. S. et al. J Environ. Sci. Health. Part A; Envirotr. %i. Eng. Toxic Hazard. S&at. Control, 1996, A.31, (7), 1781-1799. Thermal plasma pyrolysis of used tyres for the production of syngas was investigated experimentally. A series of experiments have shown that tyre waste can be pyrolysed in a plasma reactor to produce combustible gas, such as CzHz, CH+ CzH4, Hz, CO. Increasing the tyre injection quantity increases the concentration of hydrocarbons, increases the combustion heat of the pyrolysis product. and decreases the concentration of metal oxide. With steam injection, it produced a large quantity of hydrogen and carbon monoxide with lower concentrations of CzH2. The combustion heat is slightly lower with steam injecetion than that without it. Neither polychlorinated biphenyls nor p-aminohippuric acid were detected in the ashes.

Annapragada, R. V. rr al. Fltel Sci. Technol Inr., 1996, 14. (4). 1161-l 194. Presents the results of a study conducted to convert coal to Cz-CI hydrocarbons in a two-stage reactor system. Coal was converted to liquids at 44O’C in a stirred hatch autoclave using Tetralin as the hydrogen donor solvent. The liquids produced were separated from the unreacted coal and ash by filtration. The liquids were then fed into a second stage fixed bed reactor containing sulfided Ni-Mo/AlzOi and Si02-A1207 catalyst. The liquids were hydrocracked on the dual-functional catalyst giving high yields of Cz-C, hydrocarbons at 1800 psig and 425-500 ‘C. Reaction mechanisms of conversion of coal derived liquids to Cz-C4 hydrocarbons are presented. The kinetic parameters of the conversion of coal liquids to gases were determined. The activation energy was calculated to he 23.9 Kcalimol.

Bu, X. ct al. Huarrjing Kexur, 1996. 17, (2), 39-41. (In Chinese) This study made use of coal from four sources by using limestone and dolomite as desulfurizer. The results showed that both limestone and dolomite can he used for removing sulfur during the gasification of highsulfur coal. The desulfurization efficiency increased with increasing Ca-S molar ratio and reached a maximum at Ca-S 3:l. The effect of operating pressure on desulfurization efficiency depends on the temperature and partial pressure of CO>. A desulfurization rate of 50%-85% was ohtained.

(In Russian) Presents a discussion of the uses of methane recovered from coal mines as fuel and feedstock for the chemical industry (through manufacturing of synthesis gases). The average content of methane in the recovered aircontaining gas is 35%; maximum level of methane recovery from Vorkuta mines reached 553.6 m7/min (55.5 msimin just from one mine). The possibility of increasing the degassing efficiency (which is currently 5 I %) was also discussed.

Takarada, T. et al. Sekitan Kagaku Kaigi Happy Ronhunshu. 1995, 32. 236-239 (In Japanese). Four kinds of alkali compounds and kaolinite were added to acid-treated Yallourn coal. The alkali-loaded coal was pyrolysed in N and gasified in a CO> atmosphere. The effects of temperature, gasifying atmosphere, mineral matter and carbon conversion on volatilization of alkalis and gasification rate were examined. The catalytic effectiveness of alkali metal on the gasification rate was affected by the addition of kaolinite and coal particle size. The char gasification rate was much enhanced by the addition of NazSiOl.
