Abstract
The clean coal technologies include a number of potential techniques, one of which is catalytic coal gasification. Synthesis
gas is produced at a higher process rate as a result of the addition of a catalyst. As a result, the focus of this study was on
the catalytic gasification of low-ranking coal, which is suitable for use in the gasification process due to its high reactivity.
As catalytically active ingredients, 0.85, 1.7, and 3.4%, respectively, of potassium and calcium cations were utilized. Steam
was used as a gasifying agent for the isothermal tests, which were conducted at 900 C under a stress of 2 MPa. The
presentation of the essential gasification elements as well as the degree of carbon conversion was checked with the help
of active arches. The estimates made it conceivable to determine the type and amount of pulses that will ensure the most
effective gasification of coal in a hot climate.
