  2. Coal gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_gasification

    The former may be used as a fuel for gas boilers and diesel-generators or as syngas for producing gasoline, etc., the latter - as a technological fuel in metallurgy, as a chemical absorbent or as raw material for household fuel briquettes. Combustion of the product gas in gas boilers is ecologically cleaner than combustion of initial coal.

  3. Sulfuryl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuryl_chloride

    Sulfuryl chloride is used as a source of Cl 2.Because it is a pourable liquid, it is considered more convenient than Cl 2 to dispense.. Sulfuryl chloride is used in the conversion of C−H to C−Cl adjacent to activating substituents such as carbonyls and sulfoxides: [5] [6]

  4. Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_desulfurization

    A new, emerging flue gas desulfurization technology has been described by the IAEA. [16] It is a radiation technology where an intense beam of electrons is fired into the flue gas at the same time as ammonia is added to the gas. The Chendu power plant in China started up such a flue gas desulfurization unit on a 100 MW scale in 1998.

  5. Coal pollution mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_pollution_mitigation

    Carbon capture and storage – Process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from industrial flue gas; Carbon sequestration – Storing carbon in a carbon pool; Carbon sink – Reservoir absorbing more carbon from, than emitting to, the air; Climate change mitigation – Actions to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate change

  6. Coal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_gas

    Coal gas is a flammable gaseous fuel made from coal and supplied to the user via a piped distribution system. It is produced when coal is heated strongly in the absence of air. Town gas is a more general term referring to manufactured gaseous fuels produced for sale to consumers and municipalities. [1]

  7. Gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

    The resulting gas mixture is called syngas (from synthesis gas) or producer gas and is itself a fuel due to the flammability of the H 2 and CO of which the gas is largely composed. Power can be derived from the subsequent combustion of the resultant gas, and is considered to be a source of renewable energy if the gasified compounds were ...

  8. Hydrodesulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodesulfurization

    That sour gas is sent to the refinery's central gas processing plant for removal of the hydrogen sulfide in the refinery's main amine gas treating unit and through a series of distillation towers for recovery of propane, butane and pentane or heavier components. The residual hydrogen, methane, ethane, and some propane is used as refinery fuel gas.

  9. Char (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_(chemistry)

    Char is the solid material that remains after light gases (e.g. coal gas) and tar have been driven out or released from a carbonaceous material during the initial stage of combustion, which is known as carbonization, charring, devolatilization or pyrolysis.
