Gasification in pulverized coal flames. First quarterly progress report, July--September 1975
This project is concerned with the production of power and synthesis gases from pulverized coal via suspension gasification. Specifically, the concentric jet and vortex gasifiers, with separation of oxidation and reduction zones, will be investigated. Gasifier performance will be correlated with internally measured temperature and concentration profiles. A suction pyrometer will be used to simultaneously measure temperature and gas concentrations. Rapid species analysis will be provided by a UTI Q-30C mass spectrometer system. To date, a coal-handling facility has been developed, test cell design has been initiated, and preliminary literature searches have been made. A coal crusher, pulverizer, feeder, and sieve shaker are on order. Preliminary consultations are underway concerning the mass spectrometer system. (auth)
