Evaluation of pollution control in fossil fuel conversion processes. Gasification; section I: CO/sub 2/ Acceptor Process. Final report

The CO/sub 2/ Acceptor Coal Gasification Process is reviewed from the standpoint of its effect on the environment. The quantities of solid, liquid, and gaseous effluents were estimated, where possible, as well as the thermal efficiency of the process. For the purpose of reducing environmental impact, a number of possible process modifications or alternatives have been proposed and new technology needs have been pointed out. (GRA)
