METHOD OF MAKING FUEL FROM POWDER COAL FOR USE IN PRESSURIZED COAL GASFICATION IN SOLID LAYER REACTOR

摘要

A process for the production of fuel from coal for the pressure gasification of coal in a fixed bed reactor comprising the steps of segregating the coal into oversize and undersize fractions, mixing the undersize fraction with sulfite liquor to form an agglomerate and forming the agglomerate into pellets. The pellets are then hardened in a low temperature furnace and subsequently fed through a charging valve into the reactor, together with the oversize fraction.
