Norman, J. S. et cd. Proc. Annu. Int. Pittsburgh Coal Cmf., 1995, 12. 193198. Discusses how the formation of NH2 and HCN within clean coal technology (CCT) systems can lead to increased gas turbine emissions of NO, if steps are not taken to remove these fuel-N compounds from the fuel gas. The paper explores gas cleaning in a number of situations. The Air Blown Gasification Cycle (ABGC) was studied.

Determination of unconverted HDPE in coallplas97101168 tics co-liquefaction stream samples Robbins, G. A. et al. Prepr. Pap. Am. Chem. Sec.. Dil,. Fuel Chcm.. 1996, 41, (3). 1069-1073. Discusses the development of a decalin extraction method for HDPE that can be routinely applied to ashy coal/plastics co-liquefaction stream samples. The method requires -4 h of operator and extraction time, with several hours of additional time needed for solvent removal for recovered fractions. The HPDE extraction method shows little interference from coalderived material. During coal/plastics operations with pressure filtration, little HDPE goes out in the pressure filter cake stream; instead, most of the HDPE is recycled in the pressure filter liquid stream.

In this study a series of simulated maturation experiments were performed on a pre-extracted sample of the Messcl oil shale. The nitrogen contents of the generated bitumen. the water phase and the residual organic matter have been determined in order to establish an overview of the distribution of nitrogen between the phases during the maturation process.

(EPA-600/R-96-072, Proceedings: The 1995 Symposium on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Mitigation Research), 3/86-31104. Discusses the development of a carbon dioxide mitigation process which converts waste COZ, primarily recovered from coal-fired power plant stack gases with natural gas, to produce methanol as a liquid fuel and coproduct carbon as a materials commodity. The application of COZ mitigation technologies, such as the Carnol process (described), depends to some extent, on how serious the country and the world takes the global greenhouse gas warming problem.
Describes how activated carbon was manufactured from a mixture of anthracite and bituminous coals from China under various experimental conditions using steam as the activation agent in a hatch type rotary kiln. The effects of coal size and the weight ratio of anthracite and bituminous coals on the properties of activated carbon have been determined. The nonisothermal kinetic model was employed to determine the activation energy of the steam-anthracite and bituminous chars. The carbonization temperature does not produce any significant effect on the properties of activated carbon, whereas carbonization time affects the pore structure of activated carbon due to the mild gasification. The range of micro pores increases with increasing reaction time at a given temperature, but the adsorption capacity, porosity of activated carbon decrease and the average pore diameter decrease with increasing reaction temperature at a given reaction time.
97101164 Characteristics of coal liquefaction residue produced at the 1 tonlday PDU Itonaga, M. et al. Sekitan Kagaku Kaigi Happy0 Ronhunshu, 1995, 32, 4Y52 (In Japanese). Presents a discussion into the characteristics of residue from a coal liquefaction process. To stabilize the discharging of residue from a vacuum column in the PDU, it is important to establish the characteristics of liquefaction residue, e.g. viscosity. This paper studies the influence of ash volume fraction and chemical structure in the organic components of the residue on the viscosity of the residue. An equation to establish the viscosity of liquefaction residue is proposed.

97101173 Elimination of harmful organic impurities in synthesis gas produced by gasification of municipal wastes Kiss, G. H. Eur. Pat. Appl. EP 726, 307 (Cl. ClOJ3/66), 14 Aug 1996, Appl. 951 101. 914, 13 Feb 1905, 4 pp. (In German) Details a process for the elimination of organic impurities from synthesis gas produced from municipal wastes by charging with additional oxygen. A prepyrolysed carbonaceous waste is charged into a high-temperature gasification reactor to form a loose bed, and the resulting synthesis gas is withdrawn at the top of the reactor. Additional oxygen is injected into the top reactor section by using several axially and/or radially inclined nozzles, and synthesis gas is partially burned to attain a stable temperature of >lOOo” above the gasification bed and to induce complete homogeneous gas mixing. Optionally, extra nozzles are used for injection of additional gaseous or liquid fuels into the top reactor section.
