Catalytic gasification of graphite and chars

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5888511

The present paper presents information on the role of ash components on catalytic gasification and describes another type of catalyst, namely a mixture of alkali and earth alkali oxides such as K/sub 2/O-CaO which is almost as active and is less sensitive to poisoning than the potassium-nickel composition. Four chars ranging from lignite to bituminous coal char were gasified along with graphite in the presence of various catalysts. The chars and their composition are summarized. 5 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.
