How to reduce the energy consumption of the rotary kilnelectric furnace (RKEF) process has become an important issue for the stainless steel industry. The aim of this study is to reduce the energy consumption of ferronickel production from saprolite nickel laterite in the RKEF process. The effects of the slag binary basicity, FeO content, and Cr2O3 content on the melting temperature and ...
In the process simulation, two reactors were employed due to low conversion of the CO 2 hydrogenation reaction. Figure 1 represents the process flow diagram of methanol production via CO 2 hydrogenation (Wiesberg et al., 2016).In this process, the feed of 1,000 kmoles per hour of carbon dioxide at 40°C and 20 bar was mixed with the 3,000 kmoles per hour of hydrogen (at the same conditions).
Methanol can be produced from coal via gasification and methanol synthesis technology [5]. Coal is partly gasified with oxidizing agents, and the volatile components are converts to syngas [6].
Joo et al. (1999) studied the production of methanol in two steps and concluded that it has a higher yield than the process in one step. Mignard et al. (2003) proposed a methanol synthesis process from CO 2 captured from flue gas of a coal power plant and electrolytic hydrogen.

production from coal. This work has shown that carbon capture and storage and substitution of some biomass with coal in the feedstock to liquid fuels synthesis processes can reduce the lifecycle O2 emissions of TL to below the baseline levels characteristic of conventional petroleumderived fuels.
Gao et al. (2018) identified that the coaltomethanol production process consumes vast amounts of energy and water with significant emissions of GHGs. Lerner et al. (2018) used natural gas as a feedstock for methanol production and tried to find conditions under which methanol production had the lowest GHG emissions.
Abstract Methanol production has gained a lot of attention due to its wide application in both the process and product industries. This study aims to investigate the coal/methane based process for simultaneous methanol and power generation. Two process models were developed in Aspen Plus and technoeconomically compared.
Library. LPMEOH™ Process. The liquidphase methanol (MeOH) synthesis process known as the LPMEOH™ process was funded by the Department of Energy and developed in collaboration with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. It was developed as a more efficient, higher conversion, and lower cost conversion route to methanol than ...
• Production from coal only takes place in China and has a high carbon footprint, of nearly 300 g CO 2eq/MJ, due to large emissions associated with both the mining of coal and the methanol conversion process. • Production from renewable sources, such as from biomethane, solid biomass, municipal solid waste (or MSW, which contains a considerable
Methanol is a low carbon, hydrogen carrier fuel produced from high ash coal, agricultural residue, CO2 from thermal power plants and natural gas. It is a colourless liquid that boils at °C and solidifies at − °C . It forms explosive mixtures with air and burns with a nonluminous flame. It is completely miscible in water.
