Download or read book Indirect Thermal Liquefaction Process for Producing Liquid Fuels from Biomass written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A progress report on an indirect liquefaction process to convert biomass type materials to quality liquid hydrocarbon fuels by gasification followed by catalytic liquid fuels synthesis has been presented. A wide variety of feedstocks can be processed through the gasification system to a gas with a heating value of 500 + Btu/SCF. Some feedstocks are more attractive than others with regard to producing a high olefin content. This appears to be related to hydrocarbon content of the material. The H2/CO ratio can be manipulated over a wide range in the gasification system with steam addition. Some feedstocks require the aid of a water-gas shift catalyst while others appear to exhibit an auto-catalytic effect to achieve the conversion. H2S content (beyond the gasification system wet scrubber) is negligible for the feedstocks surveyed. The water gas shift reaction appears to be enhanced with an increase in pyrolysis reactor temperature over the range of 1300 to 1700°F. Reactor temperature in the Fischer-Tropsch step is a significant factor with regard to manipulating product composition analysis. The optimum temperature however will probably correspond to maximum conversion to liquid hydrocarbons in the C5 - C1-- range. Continuing research includes integrated system performance assessment, alternative feedstock characterization (through gasification) and factor studies for gasification (e.g., catalyst usage, alternate heat transfer media, steam usage, recycle effects, residence time study) and liquefaction (e.g., improved catalysts, catalyst activity characterization).

Download or read book Available Technology for Indirect Conversion of Coal to Methanol and Gasoline written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the work was to review and assess the present state of the art of indirect liquid fuels synthesis, with particular emphasis to be placed upon those processes which produce methanol suitable for use as fuel. Following this review, four conceptual designs for indirect conversion of a Western subbituminous coal to methanol and gasoline were prepared. Capital and operating costs for each of the four cases were then estimated. This information was used to calculate the required product selling prices under a base case set of financial ground rules. Results of the methanol production technology assessment and economic assessments of four coal conversion plants are presented.

Book excerpt: Phenol, ethylbenzene, diphenylether, diphenylmethane, dibenzothiophene and carbazole are difficult to reduce under carbon monoxide-water conditions at 425°C in batch autoclaves. These conditions readily convert benzophenone, diphenylsulfide, thioanisole, phenylbenzyl ether, benzhydrol, quinoline, anthracene and 1,2-diphenylethane into a variety of products. For 1,2-diphenylethane, benzophenone, quinoline and benzylphenyl ether, the presence of tetralin had no effect on conversions; it had a negative effect on the conversions of thioanisole, diphenylsulfide and n-decanol; and a positive one on the anthracene reduction. Sodium carbonate aids the CO--H2O conversions of n-decanol, benzophenone and quinoline, has no effect on the reductions of 1,2-diphenylethane and anthracene and a negative effect on the thioanisole and diphenylsulfide runs. Iron oxide aided the conversions of the benzophenone and quinoline reductions, and ferrous sulfide favored the conversion of the quinoline and the thioanisole reduction, but it had no effect on the 1,2-diphenylethane and benzylphenyl ether runs and a negative effect on the diphenylsulfide, n-decanol and anthracene ones. For all but the quinoline reaction, where hydrogen was superior, a blend of carbon monoxide-water and hydrogen was the optimum set of reducing gases. Carbon monoxide and water outperformed hydrogen for the benzophenone and benzhydrol reductions. Three reports have been entered individually into EDB and ERA.
Download or read book How to Produce Methanol from Coal written by Emil Supp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to efforts and legislative action - initiated above all by the government of the United States - to use cleaner fuels and thus make a contribution towards a better environment, public attention is back again on using methanol in carbu rettor and diesel engines. Most prominent among the raw materials from which methanol can be produced is coal, whose deposits and resources are many times larger than those of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. This book deals with the production of methanol from coal. It describes both the individual steps that are required for this process and the essential ancillary units and offsites associated with the process itself . . It is not meant to inform the reader about the intricate details of the processes, which can much better be taken from the specialized literature that deals exclusively and in detail with them or from the well-known standard engineering books. Rather, this book is to give the reader an impression how manifold a field this is, how many process variations and combinations the designer of such plants has to consider in order to arrive at an optimum design in each particular case. Apart from the production of chemical-grade methanol, the book deals briefly also with fuel methanol production, i. e. with the production of alcohol mixes. One of the many possible routes from coal to methanol is illustrated by a process flow diagram, and a material and energy balance is compiled for this typical example.

Book excerpt: The aim of this $292,000 study was to check the technology andeconomics of converting the coal refuse at the ElkviewPreparation Plant of Westar Mining Ltd. to premium gasoline viaan indirect process. It reviews a previous report "WesternCanada Coal Liquefaction Study - Phase A", and calculateseconomics at half scale, ie. the processing of 4,800 dry tonnesper stream day of coal rejects. The report recommends that nofurther work be done unless crude oil and produce prices escalatedramatically.
