Abstract:
A power generating method of Carbon-molecule gasification combustion, the method comprising the following main processes: taking coal with desulfurizing agent, and first conducting desulfirization and gasification in a molecular gasifier to produce clean coal gas; mixing hot coal gas and low excess air for combustion in the furnace of a boiler; conducting coke refining and dust removal in accordance with coal quality and demand; after heat transfer via the heated surface of the boiler, emitting high temperature flue gas complying with the standard from the chimney; and the vapor generated by the boiler drives a steam turbine to generate power. The gasification method can be applied to a power generating system of a gas engine and a gas turbine to produce desired cooling coal gas, and can also produce chemical feed gas. The method has a simple process, which is energy saving.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods, apparatuses, and systems for reducing the sulfur content of coal. Coal is loaded into an apparatus comprising a vertically rotatable drum within a housing. The rotatable drum comprises a perforated cylindrical outer wall, a solid cylindrical inner wall, and a perforated, cylindrical central wall positioned between the outer wall and the inner wall, wherein the coal is loaded into a coal wash annulus between the central wall and the outer wall. A microbial wash fluid flows into a wash fluid annulus between the inner wall and the central wall, wherein the microbial wash fluid contains sulfur digesting bacteria and nutrients for the bacteria. The drum is rotated to cause the microbial wash fluid to migrate from the wash fluid annulus through the coal in the coal wash annulus and collect in a splash wash annulus between the outer wall and the housing.
