Underground coal gasification / Evgeny Shafirovich in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 17 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 17 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 7865–7875 Titre : Underground coal gasification : a brief review of current status Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Evgeny Shafirovich, Auteur ; Arvind Varma, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 7865–7875 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Coal  gasification  Industrial  reactors  Liquid  hydrocarbon  fuels Résumé : Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products. As compared with conventional mining and surface gasification, UCG promises lower capital/operating costs and also has other advantages, such as no human labor underground. In addition, UCG has the potential to be linked with carbon capture and sequestration. The increasing demand for energy, depletion of oil and gas resources, and threat of global climate change lead to growing interest in UCG throughout the world. In this article, we review the current status of this technology, focusing on recent developments in various countries.
