Producing Hydrocarbons by the Underground Gasification of Coal

摘要

The composition and yield of the products obtained in the underground gasification of coal at Podzemgaz South Abinsk Station are studied. Data are also presented regarding the rectification and hydro-cracking of the products. The underground gasification of coal may be regarded as a potential source of phenolic hydrocarbons, naphthalene, pyridine bases, raw materials for the production of carbon black, and hydroaromatic solvents.
