Bituminous coal is typically used in coal gasification due to its high carbon content and relatively low sulfur content, making it suitable for producing synthesis gas (syngas) through gasification processes.
The chemical equation for the gasification of coal can be represented as: C + H2O -> CO + H2
Coal gasification is the process of converting coal into a gas mixture containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting it with oxygen and steam under high temperatures and pressures. This gas can be used as a fuel for power generation or as a feedstock for the production of chemicals and fuels. It is a cleaner alternative to directly burning coal, as it allows for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide emissions.
Coking coal is a type of coal that is used in the process of creating coke, a fuel used in steelmaking. It has a high carbon content and low impurities, making it ideal for this purpose. Caking coal, on the other hand, is a type of coal that softens and forms a solid residue when heated. This property is known as caking, and it is desirable for certain industrial processes such as coal gasification.
Coal cannot be recycled in the traditional sense like paper, glass, or metal. However, there are technologies that can convert coal into cleaner forms of energy such as synthetic gas or liquid fuels. This process is known as coal gasification or coal liquefaction.
Petrochemicals are primarily derived from petroleum, which is a type of fossil fuel. While some petrochemicals can be derived from coal through coal gasification and coal-to-chemical processes, the majority come from crude oil.
Wood gasification is used to generate electricity and is considered a viable alternative to other forms of gasification, namely coal. Whilst it is considered more environmentally sound it is still a fossil fuel
