Proceedings of the Eighth Underground Coal Conversion Symposium

摘要

This report presents the results of a four-day symposium which reviewed the state-of-the-art, field testing and recent progress in underground coal conversion. The symposium was held at Keystone Lodge, Colorado, August 15-19, 1982, and was sponsored by the US Department of Energy and hosted by Sandia National Laboratories. Over 100 attendees participated in this seminar which offered more than 60 presentations in both poster and oral sessions on The Status of UCC Technology, Achievements and Problems of UCC, Future R and D Activities, and Roles and Outlooks, for an overall theme of Where Do We Go From Here. This symposium was structured to deal with an evaluation of the present uncertainty in future federal funding of UCC. Panel discussions were held after each oral session to address this overall question. The final session of the symposium was a summary session reflecting the thoughts of all panelists and symposium speakers. This session also serves as our Executive Summary (page 567). Forty-one papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA; twelve papers had been entered previously. (ERA citation 08:032961)
