Notes:
The fundamental understanding of coal and its behavior under gasification conditions is far from complete, but significant insights into the complex chemical and physical phenomena have been achieved. This review of available fundamental information focuses on thermal decomposition of coal in inert gas and in hydrogen, with emphasis on the effects on yield of products exerted by time, temperature, heating rate, pressure, hydrogen partial pressure, and particle size, and on the development of chemical and transport models of engineering importance.
