✦ Synopsis

GFR

Experimental results on iron-catalysed hydrogasification and water vapour gasification of a variety of carbons and coals are summarized. The influence of temperature, total pressure, water vapour partial pressure, catalyst introduction, catalyst amount and distribution, organic and inorganic bound sulphur and the caking of coals are discussed. Poisoning of catalyst iron by sulphur seems to be the most severe fundamental problem.
