Characterization of KILnGAS process condensate.

摘要

In recent years, a great deal of development work has been done on processes and hardware directly related to coal gasification. These gasification processes produce wastewaters containing varying amounts of dissolved organics, ammonia, and other contaminants. Samples of process condensate obtained from the 600-tpd KILnGAS demonstration unit at Alton, Illinois, were obtained during plant operation in November and December of 1984. The samples were preserved and sent to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where they were subjected to detailed characterization. The results of these analyses indicate that the KILnGAS process condensate is similar to many other gasification wastewaters. Subject to experimental verification, these results indicate that KILnGAS process condensate treatment should be possible by conventional technology. 1 fig., 4 tabs.
