The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology performed support studies related to the activities of the CO/sub 2/ Acceptor Process Gasification Pilot Plant in Rapid City, South Dakota, under subcontract to Conoco Coal Development Company during the period 1971 to 1977. These studies investigated certain long-range problems associated with the possible design of a full-scale commercial gasification plant using the CO/sub 2/ Acceptor Process. The areas of study include: acceptor reconstitution, studies in the CaCO/sub 3/--CaSO/sub 4/--CaS and CaCO/sub 3/--Ca(OH)/sub 2/--CaO systems, corrosion of alloys in contact with CaCO/sub 3/--Ca(OH)/sub 2/ melts, carbonate rock resources in the High Plains region, grinding properties of carbonate acceptor, lignite beneficiation by sodium removal through ion exchange, trace elements in lignite, and monitoring of waste from the Rapid City pilot plant. During the course of the subcontract, 16 interim and final reports were prepared covering various aspects of the investigations. These reports are included in their entirety in this volume in addition to an executive summary which describes the major conclusions of the studies and their significance.
