Our calculations present that the adsorption of Na2CO3 on coal are more stable than that of K2CO3, but the stability of Na2CO3 is strongly reduced as the cluster gets larger. In supercritical water system, the dispersion and stability of Na2CO3 catalyst on coal support is strongly improved. During coal gasification process, Na2CO3 transforms with supercritical water into NaOH and NaHCO3, which is beneficial for hydrogen production. The transformation process has been studied via thermodynamics and kinetics ways. The selectively catalytic mechanism of NaOH and the intermediate form of sodium-based catalyst in water-gas shift reaction for higher hydrogen production has also been investigated. Furthermore, NaOH can transform back to Na2CO3 after catalyzing the water-gas shift reaction. Thus, the cooperative effects between supercritical water and Na2CO3 catalyst form a benignant circle which greatly enhances the reaction rate of coal gasification and promotes the production of hydrogen.展开更多

In China, underground coal gasification which is in accord with the clean utilization of coal can produce "artificial gas", which provides a new strategic approach to supply methane and hydrogen with Chinese characteristics before new energy sources offer large-scale supply. Coal measure strata in oil-bearing basins are developed in China, with 3.77 trillion tons coal reserves for the buried depth of 1000-3 000 m. It is initially expected that the amount of natural gas resources from underground coal gasification to be 272-332 trillion cubic meters, which are about triple the sum of conventional natural gas, or equivalent to the total unconventional natural gas resources. According to the differences of coal reaction mechanism and product composition of underground coal gasification, the underground coal gasification can be divided into three development modes, hydrogen-rich in shallow, methane-rich in medium and deep,supercritical hydrogen-rich in deep. Beyond the scope of underground mining of coal enterprises, petroleum and petrochemical enterprises can take their own integration advantages of technologies, pipeline, market and so on, to develop underground coal gasification business based on their different needs and technical maturity, to effectively exploit a large amount of coal resources cleanly and to alleviate the tight supply of natural gas. It can also be combined with using the produced hydrogen in nearby area and the CO_2 flooding and storage in adjacent oil areas to create a demonstration zone for net zero emissions of petroleum and petrochemical recycling economy. It is significant for reserving resources and technologies for the coming "hydrogen economy" era, and opening up a new path for China's "clean, low carbon, safe and efficient" modern energy system construction.展开更多

Integrating combined cycle with supercritical water gasification of coal, the thermodynamic energy of the produced syngas is cascade utilized according to its temperature and pressure, both sensible and latent heat of the syngas can be recycled into the system, and thereby the net power efficiency can be about 6.4 percentage points higher than that of the traditional GE gasification based power plant(GEPP). The exergy analysis results show that the exergy efficiency of the proposed system reaches 52.45%, which is 13.94% higher than that of the GEPP, and the improvement in exergy efficiency of the proposed system mainly comes from the exergy destruction decline in the syngas energy recovery process, the condensation process and the syngas purification process. The syngas combustion process is the highest exergy destruction process with a value of 157.84 MW in the proposed system. Further performance improvement of the proposed system lies in the utilization process of syngas. Furthermore, system operation parameters have been examined on the coal mass fraction in the supercritical water gasifier(GF), the gasification temperature, and the gasification pressure. The parametric analysis shows that changes in coal concentration in the GF exert more influence on the exergy efficiency of the system compared with the other two parameters.展开更多

The CO conversion at lower temperatures and catalyst stability were confirmed by long term industrial application. The high temperature catalyst performance also showed a better result than the conventional commercial catalyst, with higher CO conversion and well controlled methane outlet. Our research and the industrial application of catalyst have shown the importance of alkali metals as core promoters for such kind of catalysts.展开更多
