During deep underground coal gasification, the semicoke produced by the pyrolysis of dense coal cores is an important material for its gasification and combustion. In this paper, pressurized pyrolysis experiments were carried out on dense coal cores at 700 °C and pressures of 1, 2, and 3 MPa using a shaft furnace. The resulting semicoke and raw coal were analyzed using the characterization ...
The growth state of the combustion cavity during underground coal gasification (UCG) affects the gasification process's efficiency, stability, and accurate monitoring and control. In this study, a simulation experiment of UCG was performed, and a horizontal coaxial gasification channel was drilled based on the constructed artificial coal seam.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for the future use of unworked coal. UCG permits coal to be gasified in situ within the coal seam, via a matrix of coal is ignited and air is injected underground to sustain a fire, which is essentially used to "mine" the coal and produce a combustible synthetic gas which can be used for industrial heating, power ...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) ... The notable products in a coal pyrolysis process encompass CO, H 2, CH 4, CO 2, H 2 O, char, and to a lesser amount tar and hydrocarbons. It is thus evident that the generation of H 2 occurs principally in the reduction and pyrolysis categories.
Abstract. Underground coal gasification is a conversion and extraction process, for the production of useful synthetic product gas from an insitu coal seam, to use in power generation, heat production or as a chemical feedstock. While many variants of the underground coal gasification process have been considered and over 75 trials performed ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) converts coal insitu into a gaseous product, commonly known as synthesis gas or syngas through the same chemical reactions that occur in surface gasifiers. ... CO2, and H2O (steam), with many of the coal impurities converted to gaseous species such as H2S and NH3. The gasification process is typically ...
1Introduction. Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process in which air, steam and oxygen are injected into the insitu coal seams. Then the coal is ignited and converted into syngas (such as H 2, CO, CH 4, and CO 2) [[1], [2], [3]].During the UCG process, the temperature in the gasification face and cavity can normally reach °C [[1], [2]].
With underground coal gasification (UCG), the actual process takes place underground, generally below 1,200 feet. The underground setting provides both the feedstock source as well as pressures comparable to that in an aboveground gasifier. With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. Underground coal gasification is sometimes referred to as insitu coal gasification (ISCG). The process has been developed over more than a century, though only a few projects currently operate on a continuous basis.
Geological Model of the Gasifier. The gasifier mainly consists of two parts: a coal seam and the surrounding rock. The temperature distribution in the gasifier, the nonuniformity and instability of the gasification reaction, and the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the surrounding rock determine that the geological model of the gasifier must be threedimensional rather than simply two ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process which converts coal into product gas. UCG is an insitu gasification process, carried out in nonmined coal seams using injection of oxidants and steam. The product gas is brought to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The predominant product gases are methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Underground Coal Gasification ("UCG") is a longstanding, proven process for converting coal to a synthetic gas ("syngas") with a wide range of potential end uses. Its commercial development has been restricted due to the need to match resource and end use opportunities in a supportive environment, although it is
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial gasification process, which is carried out in nonmined coal seams. It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface.
The Controlled Retracting Injection Point (CRIP) process for underground coal gasification (UCG) was successfully demonstrated during the Rocky Mountain I (RM I) field test conducted in the winter of 198788 near Hanna, Wyoming. The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of directly recovering energy as combustible gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide by combusting unmined coal resources in situ. The UCG process is an invisible phenomenon, in which fracturing activity at high temperature (>1000 °C) in coal seams expands the gasification zone and increases the combustible components of the product gas.
The process of underground coal gasification is accompanied by heating of the roof and floor rocks of the coal bed and subsurface waters. It is known that an increase of temperature of subsurface waters leads to a change in the chemical and physical properties of water: a) the solvent power of water increases; b) the density of water decreases ...
the gasification process needs to be monitored and controlled to ensure that the underground gasification has a stable combustible gas composition and calorific value, as well as a higher gas yield and gasification rate [1]. UCG is a very complex physical and chemical process, and many factors affect the composition and quality of syngas.
