Today Sasol produces the equivalent of 150,000 bbl/day of fuels and chemical feedstock from more than 40 million tons of low grade coal. In converting coal to petroleum products, coal is first gasified with oxygen and steam to syngas, a mixture of H{sub 2} and CO, which after purification is converted to hydrocarbons and some oxygenates by ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Figure 1 shows a diagram depicting an estimate of global flows of fossil fuel feedstocks to chemicals production in 2013. Coal figures prominently in the flows to ammonia and methanol, which in turn feed into a wide range of plastics and chemicals; most of the coal use involves gasification to syngas on these conversion routes.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Synthetic natural gas (SNG) is one of the commodities that can be produced from coalderived syngas through the methanation process. The economic viability of producing SNG through coal gasification is heavily dependent on the market prices of natural gas and the coal feedstock to be used, the value of byproducts such as carbon dioxide (CO2) (which could be used for EOR), and additionally the ...

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The influence of coal slurry concentration and oxygen/coal ratio on the syngas contents is studied as CO, CO 2 and H 2 contents can reveal the syngas quality. To enhance the gasification process and generate raw syngas with high quality, higher slurry concentration and oxygen supply is shown to be one of the suitable solutions.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The initial syngas can be derived from coal alone or from a coal/biomass mixture. The process is the same when biomass is included, but the amount of CO 2 emitted during the process decreases as the proportion of biomass increases. In the lesscommon Mobil process, the syngas can be converted to methanol, which is subsequently converted to ...
