1. Introduction. Traditional coal chemical production is characterized by low energy efficiency and high CO 2 emission. The hydrogentocarbon (H/C) ratio of coal is about 4:5, while those of methanol, olefins, liquid fuels, and natural gas, which are chemical products of coal, are about 2:1, 2:1, 2:1, and 3:1, respectively [1, 2].The mismatch between carbon and hydrogen elements in coal and ...
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 ...
The production of methanol only from coal has an estimated efficiency of 41 to 55 percent; but if methane and coal liquids are produced simultaneously, the overall process efficiency can climb to 75 percent. Waste and wood can also be used as energy sources. Conversion from these sources to methanol is likely to be somewhat less efficient ...
This article presents a novel process for methanol production by direct CO2 hydrogenation using solarthermal energy as the heat source. The process is designed and optimized using Aspen Plus software, and the technoeconomic evaluation is performed using Aspen Process Economic Analyzer. The results show that the proposed process can achieve high methanol yield and low CO2 emissions, and is ...
Traditional coaltoliquid processes use gasification with excess steam to obtain hydrogenrich syngas for downstream manufacturing of methanol or FischerTropsch liquids. Such processes are shown to produce very large amounts of CO2 directly by the WaterGasShift (WGS) reaction or, indirectly, by combustion in raising steam. It is shown how any coal gasifier can operate under autothermal ...
Injection of CO 2 and subsequent desorption of CH 4 is considered to be the most efficient enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery technique to date. Meanwhile, CO 2 ECBM is an excellent option for CO 2 geosequestration for an extended period. Despite ongoing research efforts and several field applications of this technology, the mechanisms of the process have yet to be fully understood.
A novel coaltomethanol process integrated with cokeoven gas chemical looping hydrogen and chemical looping air separation is designed and analysed to ... steam, or partial oxidation reforming technology (Galadima and Muraza, 2015). The methane content of cokeoven gas is high and the cokeoven gas can also be converted to syngas by above ...
In industrial chemistry, coal gasification is the process of producing syngas—a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H 2), carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), and water vapour (H 2 O)—from coal and water, air and/or oxygen.. Historically, coal was gasified to produce coal gas, also known as "town gas".Coal gas is combustible and was used for heating and ...
The flow diagram of the CTO process, including the MTO process, is shown in Fig. 2. Coal and water are gasified with the oxygen agent from the ASU, to produce syngas in the CG. ...

Coal gasification and coking to methanol (GCtM) is a newly developed and industrialized process in China. However, in the early stages, the idea of integration hardly applied to this process. To improve the degree of integration, this paper developed a coupling process of coproducing methanol and ethylene glycol. The key idea was to find an appropriate distribution of carbon and hydrogen ...
Methanol is a clean fuel and an important feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Conventionally, the coaltomethanol process generates a substantial amount of CO2 emissions with a low yield of methanol. In this study, we propose the conceptual design development of coaltomethanol process using captured CO2 from the gasification plant by implying process intensification. The base case and ...
The extraction process of CBM involves the dewatering of coal seams, enabling the release of trapped methane gas [1].However, one of the primary challenges encountered during CBM production is the significant amount of water that accompanies the extracted gas [2].This water, known as produced water, poses a major problem in terms of treatment, disposal, and potential environmental impacts.
The ratio of coal used for produce process to coal used for power generation is 7:3, the total coal consumed in the coal transformation to oil step is 636,500 tons. The total output of all hydrocarbon products is about 80,000 tons; therefore, producing one ton of liquid hydrocarbon consumes tons of coal in a year. ...
The existing atscale, lowcoal steelmaking process is via electric arc furnaces (EAFs), which use scrap metal and an average of 12 kg of coal per ton of produced steel compared to 770 kg of coking coal via the blast furnace process. Chinese adoption of EAF technology will be crucial for global coal mine methane emissions.
The coaltomethanol (CTM) is an important technical route for methanol production. The process suffers from high CO2 emission and low energy efficiency due to the mismatch of H/C (hydrogento ...

Ampco is the simplest type of Hydrocarbon, Methane, (CH4) The formula CH4 shows that there is one piece, (atom), of Carbon (C), and four pieces, (atoms), of Hydrogen, (H) in this molecule. When this Methane molecule also cracks into its basic parts, we now have a situation where these elements can be reformed into something else.
methane emissions from existing sources. Oil and natural gas operations are the largest industrial source of methane pollution in the Methane is a climate "super pollutant," and rapid, sharp cuts in methane emissions are a crucial addition to cutting carbon dioxide in slowing the rate of warming of Earth's atmosphere.
In China, coal is the main raw material used for methanol production to relieve the domestic supply and demand. The conventional coaltomethanol (CTM) process suffers from less energy efficiency since high energy consumption of air separation and CO 2 capture. A novel CTM process integrated with chemical looping air separation (CLAS) and chemical looping hydrogen (CLH) is designed and ...
efficient and clean coal technology. The most probable option is to convert coal into high quality, clean burning transportation fuel. There are two commercially demonstrated routes for converting coal to transportation fuels through gasification (Figure 1). The widely known FischerTropsch process was first discovered in the 1920s. It
Design process Sarongga coal, as raw material, was quite good with low ash content of 5% asreceived basis, although total moisture is relatively high, about 40%. In general, the coaltomethanol process consists of 3 main processes, namely coal gasification, syngas cleaning, and methanol synthesis, as shown in Figure 3.
The traditional polygeneration process of coaltomethanol/power is shown in Fig. 1 [3]. Coal is converted into the crude syngas in the gasifier. After heat recovery and scrubbing, the crude syngas is separated into two parts. One part is sent for water gas shift (WGS) unit and then mixed with a part of unshifted syngas for methanol synthesis.
Process Chemistry. Catalytic conversion of hydrogen (H 2) and carbon monoxide (CO) from coalderived syngas into methanol can be done with conventional gasphase processes, or with a liquid phase methanol (LPMEOH™) process developed by Air Products and Chemicals. The reactions of interest are: 2 H 2 + CO → CH 3 OH. CO 2 + 3 H 2 → CH 3 OH ...
