Energy and environmental research emphasizing low rank coal. Final report on Subtasks 1.3, 3.2, 3.3, and 4.2
This report describes the progress on four subtasks of the project. Task 1, Resource characterization and residuals remediation, Subtask 1.3, Data resource evaluation, has as its objective the development of methods that incorporate all of the fundamental aspects of resource characterization. Task 3, Advanced power systems, Subtask 3.2, Pressurized combustion, has as its objective the generation of fundamental process information that will further the development of an economically and environmentally acceptable second-generation PFBC. The objective of Subtask 3.3, Catalytic gasification, is to identify a suitable catalyst to achieve coal residence times on the order of minutes in order to integrate gasification with molten carbonate fuel cells. Task 4, Advanced fuel forms and coproducts, Subtask 4.2, Coproducts, aims to develop new process concepts for upgrading coal chars and liquids. Activated carbon is being assessed for gaseous pollutant sorption and water treatment. The cracking of coal tar was also investigated.
