Analysis of coal different brands to production energy and chemicals

Abstract

The analysis of the largest Russian coal fields in terms of possibility of mined coal use in gasifiers for energy and chemical production was conducted in the article. A review of the current worldwide gasification technology and the chemicals production from syngas was given. The bases of methanol, ammonia and carbon monoxide production from syngas were presented. The data for the gasification time of coal dust and coal-water fuel and required components content for methanol, carbon monoxide, ammonia production were calculated.
