Abstract

A co-gasification process was proposed both for treating alkaline organic wastewater and to promote coal gasification by the alkaline substances in situ. A catalytic gasification model was developed by introducing a catalytic correction factor to describe the catalytic effects quantitatively. An integrated process simulation was carried out using Aspen Plus equipped with FORTRAN subroutines. The model was verified using the root mean square error between the simulation results and experimental data from the literature. Syngas composition, cold gas efficiency, and carbon conversion efficiency were analyzed with respect to different operating conditions (reaction temperature, steam/coal ratio, and equivalence ratio). The optimal conditions are summarized based on a self-sufficient system by using sensitivity analysis: Gasification temperature of 700 °C, steam/coal ratio = 1.0, and equivalence ratio = 0.4.
