This book includes discussion of fundamental aspects of coal gasification that have been developed in the many investigations conducted during the past 15 to 20 years in the areas of thermodynamics, physics, and chemical kinetics. The discussion of thermodynamics and kinetics extend to coal-char gasification as well as to the initial coal-gasification processes in which volatile matter is evolved and the coal char is formed. The text is divided into 6 chapters entitled: Fundamentals of Coal Gasification; Kinetics of Coal Gasification in Hydrogen During Initial Reaction Stages; Gasification of Montana Lignite in Hydrogen and Helium During Initial Reaction Stages; Relationship Between Gasification Reactivities of Coal Char and Physical and Chemical Properties of Coal and Coal Char; The Use of Catalysts in Coal Gasification; and Kinetics of Bituminous Coal Char Gasification With Gases Containing Steam and Hydrogen.
