Development and Evaluation of a Process to Produce Hydrogen from Coal.

摘要

This thesis is a study of a proposed process to produce hydrogen from coal via coal gasification and the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. A novel aspect of the process is the use of the U.C. Berkeley Sulfur Recovery Process (UCBSRP) for removal of CO(sub 2) and H(sub 2)S from the gasified coal (Neumann 1986 and Sciamanna 1986). The CO(sub 2) is recovered as a purified product and the H(sub 2)S is recovered as elemental sulfur. 14 refs., 3 figs., 13 tabs.
