Abstract

The main results of an experimental work on gasification of Colombian coal in a fluidised bed are reported in this paper. Experiments were carried out at different steam/coal (F_s/F_c) and air/coal (F_a/F_c) ratios and temperatures of gasifying agent. In addition, the influence of bed temperature on coal conversion was analysed. Results show a maximum value in the curve of high heating value versus F_a/F_c. From the environmental standpoint, low concentrations of sulphur compounds were obtained but more work should be done in order to decrease particulate matter.
