Abstract:

This new process makes possible the gasification of any pulverized coal waste in a suspended layer of slag and produces a synthetic gas, various metals that are simultaneously reduced from the coal ash and a highly porous aluminosilicate slag-microspheres that can be used in various fields. The input stream consists only of coal from waste and other reactants, including oxygen for burning the coal are obtained internally within the same process flowsheet. This process is based on the previously developed jet-emulsion reactor technology SER, intended for direct reduction of pulverized metallurgical wastes and ores. It is a sustainable process since it does not produce any waste and is energetically self-sufficient. It can also be designed in a mobile version that can be placed near waste generation sites or in remote places from electrical networks.
