    摘要: Cryogenic liquefied natural gas (LNG) is used as a source of refrigeration and methane in the production of dry sulfur-free, methane-enriched synthesis gas or fuel gas. Raw syngas is indirectly and directly contacted with cryogenic liquefied natural gas (LNG) and cooled thereby below the dew point. Water is thereby condensed out and separated from the process gas stream. Further, the liquid LNG vaporizes and increases the methane content of the dewatered synthesis gas. Cold liquid absorbent solvent contacts the dry CH.sub.4 -enriched synthesis gas in an absorption column and absorbs the acid gases e.g. H.sub.2 S and COS and optionally H.sub.2 S+COS+CO.sub.2. In a preferred embodiment, the rich solvent absorbent is regenerated in a stripping column and the released acid gases are sent to a Claus unit for the production of elemental sulfur. In a second embodiment, the regenerated lean liquid absorbent solvent may be mixed with the dry, purified synthesis gas leaving from the top of the absorption tower. This mixture is then directly and optionally indirectly contacted with additional cryogenic liquid LNG. The CH.sub.4 content of the synthesis or fuel gas is thereby increased to a value in the range of about 10 to 80 mole %. By means of a decanter, dry, sulfur-free methane-enriched syngas product is separated from liquid absorbent solvent. The liquid absorbent solvent is then recycled to the absorption column.

    摘要: Synthesis gas, fuel gas, or reducing gas is produced by the noncatalytic partial oxidation of a sulfur-containing liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel or a slurry of sulfur-containing solid carbonaceous fuel with a free-oxygen containing gas in the first free-flow reaction zone located in a refractory lined gas generator at an autogenous temperature in the range of about 1900.degree. F. to 2900.degree. F. and above the ash-fusion temperature of the slag formed in the reaction zone. About 85 to 99 weight percent of the carbon in the fuel feed to the reaction zone is converted into carbon oxides. At least a portion of the hot effluent gas stream from the reaction zone is passed through a free-flow second reaction zone R.sub.2 in admixture with a second portion of sulfur-containing fuel and an iron-containing additive. In the second reaction zone the carbon in the second portion of fuel, unconverted fuel and particulate matter from R.sub.1 react with H.sub.2 O and/or CO.sub.2 to produce supplemental H.sub.2 and/or carbon oxides. Further, at least a portion of the sulfur-containing gases e.g. H.sub.2 S and COS react with the iron-containing additive to produce particulate matter comprising iron oxysulfide. Further, a portion of this newly formed particulate matter and/or the iron-containing additive combine with molten slag and/or ash in the hot raw gas stream passing through the second gas cooler. The slag produced thereby has a reduced ash fusion temperature and a reduced viscosity. The remainder of the newly formed particulate matter comprising iron oxysulfide and particulate carbon are entrained in the effluent gas stream leaving the second reaction zone and are separated from the effluent gas stream and optionally recycled to the partial oxidation reaction zone in admixture with fresh fuel feed.

    摘要: Synthesis gas, fuel gas, or reducing gas is produced by the noncatalytic partial oxidation of a sulfur-containing liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel or a slurry of sulfur-containing solid carbonaceous fuel with a free-oxygen containing gas in a first free-flow reaction zone R.sub.1 located in a refractory lined gas generator at an autogenous temperature in the range of about 190.degree. F. to 2900.degree. F. and above the ash-fusion temperature of the slag formed in the reaction zone. About 85 to 99 weight percent of the carbon in the fuel feed to the reaction zone is converted into carbon oxides. At least a portion of the hot effluent gas stream from the first reaction zone is passed through a free-flow second reaction zone R.sub.2 in admixture with a second portion of sulfur-containing fuel and a calcium-containing additive. An equilibrium oxygen concentration with a partial pressure which is less than about 10.sup.-12 atmosphere is provided in the gas phase in the first and second reaction zones. In the second reaction zone the carbon in the second portion of fuel, unconverted fuel and particulate matter from R.sub.1 react with H.sub.2 O and/or CO.sub. 2 to produce supplemental H.sub.2 and/or carbon oxides. Further, at least a portion of the sulfur-containing gases produced in R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 e.g. H.sub.2 S and COS react at high temperature with the calcium-containing additive to produce particulate matter comprising calcium sulfide. Further, a portion of this newly formed particulate matter and/or the calcium-containing additive combine with slag and/or ash in the hot raw gas stream passing through the second gas cooler. Fly-ash is produced thereby having an increased ash softening temperature. The gas stream discharged from the second reaction zone contains a reduced amount of sulfur-containing gases, and increased amounts of H.sub.2 + carbon oxides and calcium sulfide-containing particulate matter.

    摘要: Low sulfur, iron and calcium containing solid carbonaceous fuel having a high melting point ash is mixed with a sufficient amount of iron sulfide containing material or supplemental iron and sulfur containing reactant materials that react in the reaction zone to produce iron and sulfur containing compounds. The mixture of materials is reacted in a free-flow gasifier by partial oxidation to produce a raw gas stream of synthesis gas, reducing gas or fuel gas, containing entrained particulate matter including molten slag. By the process, sufficient iron and sulfur are in the reaction zone so that the melting point of the fuel ash is decreased, and the mole ratio H.sub.2 S/H.sub.2 +CO in the raw gas stream is greater than 0.01. Further, the amount of iron in the molten ash is greater than 10.0 wt. %, and preferably at least 14 wt. % of the molten ash. By this means, the fluid temperature of the molten ash entrained in the raw gas stream is reduced at least 100.degree. F. less than the fluid temperature of the fuel ash without the addition of iron and sulfur, and the gasifier may be operated in the molten slagging mode at a lower temperature. Further, coal wash tailings containing iron sulfides may be disposed of as a portion of the feed to the gasifier in an environmentally acceptable manner; and useful by-product sulfur may be recovered.

    摘要: Synthesis gas, fuel gas, or reducing gas is produced by the noncatalytic partial oxidation of a slurry of ash-containing solid carbonaceous fuel in a liquid carrier with a free-oxygen containing gas in the free-flow reaction zone of a refractory lined gas generator at an autogenous temperature in the range of about 2350.degree. F. to 2900.degree. F. so that about 75 to 95 weight percent of the carbon in the fuel feed to the reaction zone is converted into carbon oxides. The hot effluent gas stream from the reaction zone containing entrained particulate carbon, unconverted solid carbonaceous fuel, and molten slag is passed through a free-flow radiant cooler where it is contacted by and provides the heat to vaporize an aqueous solution of catalyst consisting of alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal compound in water. In the presence of the catalyst, H.sub.2 O and at least a portion of the particulate carbon and the carbon in the unconverted solid carbonaceous fuel are reacted together at a controlled temperature to produce additional H.sub.2 and CO.sub.x. The hot effluent gas stream enters the radiant cooler at a temperature in the range of about 2800.degree. F.-2300.degree. F. and leaves at a temperature in the range of about 1350.degree. F.-1600.degree. F. Further, the molten slag in the effluent gas stream may be fluxed with the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal compound to facilitate separation of the slag from the effluent gas stream.
