The underground coal gasification (UCG) process represents a modern and effective coal mining technology that enables coal energy extraction through thermic decomposition. The coal is transformed into syngas by oxidizers (, air, technical oxygen, or water steam) and is injected into a georeactor. The produced syngas is exhausted on the surface, where it is transformed into the desired form ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a clean coal mining technology without significant environmental impacts. This technology can also be used in deep, hardtoreach seams or deposits affected ...
Traditional coaltoliquid processes use gasification with excess steam to obtain hydrogenrich syngas for downstream manufacturing of methanol or FischerTropsch liquids. Such processes are shown to produce very large amounts of CO2 directly by the WaterGasShift (WGS) reaction or, indirectly, by combustion in raising steam. It is shown how any coal gasifier can operate under autothermal ...
The Controlled Retracting Injection Point (CRIP) process for underground coal gasification (UCG) was successfully demonstrated during the Rocky Mountain I (RM I) field test conducted in the winter of 198788 near Hanna, Wyoming. The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...
1. Technical connotation of underground coal gasification Concept Underground coal gasification (UCG) refers to the process of producing CH4, H2 and other combustible gases through controlled combustion of coal in situ in the strata with appro priate engineering technology[1ï€6].
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process which converts coal into product gas. UCG is an insitu gasification process, carried out in nonmined coal seams using injection of oxidants and steam. The product gas is brought to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The predominant product gases are methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888. He suggested, "The purpose of coal mining is the extraction of the energy composition in coal, rather than the coal mining itself," and also pointed out the basic approach to realize industrialization of coal gasification.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. Underground coal gasification is sometimes referred to as insitu coal gasification (ISCG). The process has been developed over more than a century, though only a few projects currently operate on a continuous basis.
A process to convert coal to gas which occurs underground. Coal, and volatiles embedded in the coal (mostly methane) are partially combusted in the presence of steam, oxygen and / or air, to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. ...

Coal ignition is initiated through the use of an electric coil or gas firing near the face of the coal seam. Continuous oxidant flow through the injection well allows for gasification to be sustained [].The temperature of the gasification process is maintained through varying the oxidant flow to the reactor [].In UCG systems, the temperature of the coal face can reach temperatures in excess of ...

Underground coal gasification (Bhutto et al. 2013; Cena and Thorness 1981; Perkins 2018) consists of the reaction of the oxidizing reagent (mainly oxygen) and water with the raw coal located underground, which results in the production of process gas and byproducts such as postprocess water and tar main idea of the process is to obtain as much process gas as possible with ...
Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products. As compared with conventional mining and surface gasification, UCG promises lower capital ...
In the underground coal gasification (UCG) process, a feasible method for the redn. of CO2 emissions is to capture the CO2 present in syngas and reinject it as one of the gasification agents, which is called CO2 recycling. In this process, CO2 partially replaces steam as a gasification agent, which is of particular importance in areas lacking ...
1Introduction. Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process in which air, steam and oxygen are injected into the insitu coal seams. Then the coal is ignited and converted into syngas (such as H 2, CO, CH 4, and CO 2) [[1], [2], [3]].During the UCG process, the temperature in the gasification face and cavity can normally reach °C [[1], [2]].
Underground coal gasification (UCG), as an in situ chemical conversion and mining technology, can not only be used for the exploitation and utilization of deep and unminable coal seams but can also recover coal resources from abandoned mines. ...

The article presents an experimental laboratory setup used for the empirical determination of the gasification of coal samples in the form of solid rock, cut out in the form of a cylinder. An experimental laboratory set enabled a series of experiments carried out at 700 °C with steam as the gasification agent. The samples were prepared from the coal seam, the use of which can be planned in ...
The process of underground coal gasification (UCG) is considered to be one of the forms of clean coal technologies for obtaining gaseous fuel and synthesis gas from hard coal (Burton et al. 2006; Bhutto et al. 2013; Cough 2009).In the situation of increasingly smaller coal resources available for economically justified mining and the unfavorable impact of coal combustion on the environment ...
The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) process is a complex and multiphysics phenomenon, thus making it difficult to develop a mathematical model that encapsulates all dynamical aspects. In this regard, datadriven modeling techniques offer a reliable alternative for prediction, control, and optimization of dynamical systems, but their ...
Coal gasification is recognized as the core technology of clean coal utilization that exhibits significant advantages in hydrogenrich syngas production and CO2 emission reduction. This review briefly discusses the recent research progress on various coal gasification techniques, including conventional coal gasification (fixed bed, fluidized bed, and entrained bed gasification) and relatively ...
By igniting in the coal seam and injecting gas agent, underground coal gasification (UCG) causes coal to undergo thermochemical reactions in situ and, thus, to be gasified into syngas for power generation, hydrogen production, and storage. Compared with traditional mining technology, UCG has the potential sustainable advantages in energy, environment, and the economy. The paper reviewed the ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) ... The notable products in a coal pyrolysis process encompass CO, H 2, CH 4, CO 2, H 2 O, char, and to a lesser amount tar and hydrocarbons. It is thus evident that the generation of H 2 occurs principally in the reduction and pyrolysis categories.
Geological Model of the Gasifier. The gasifier mainly consists of two parts: a coal seam and the surrounding rock. The temperature distribution in the gasifier, the nonuniformity and instability of the gasification reaction, and the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the surrounding rock determine that the geological model of the gasifier must be threedimensional rather than simply two ...
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) requires monitoring of the gasification area because the gasification process is invisible and the reaction temperature exceeds 1000 °C. Many fracturing events that occurred due to coal heating can be captured with Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring technique during UCG.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial gasification process, which is carried out in nonmined coal seams. It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface.
The process of underground coal gasification is accompanied by heating of the roof and floor rocks of the coal bed and subsurface waters. It is known that an increase of temperature of subsurface waters leads to a change in the chemical and physical properties of water: a) the solvent power of water increases; b) the density of water decreases ...
The underground link,, the gasification channel between the two wells, needs to be established in the target coal seam because the underground primitive conditions, surrounding rock characteristics, and coal properties cannot readily provide a porous gasification channel for the gas flow and ensure the continuation of the gasification process.
