Results are presented for gasification of coal and char by means of air or air‐steam mixtures in fluidised bed reactors of three different volumes. Two sizes of coal feedstock particles, 0.5‐1.0 mm and 1.0‐1.5 mm, and one size of char particles, 0.5‐1.5 mm, were used. The calorific value of generated gas and the carbon conversion are presented as a function of particle residence time. For coal gasification higher carbon conversion has been obtained at the same particle residence time than for char gasification. For the steam gasification, a lower gas heating value of about 4 MJ/m3 (S.T.P.) was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
