GASIFICATION REACTIONS
BY-PRODUCT USAGE
PARTICULATE REMOVAL
The feedstock reacts with oxygen to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide . Keeping the temperature high ensures complete conversion of all feedstock materials .
Inorganic materials from the coal are trapped in a glassy matrix resembling coarse sand . This inert material is referred to as slag , and has various uses in the construction industry . There is no ash waste from the gasification process .
A scrubbing system removes all particulates from the gas .
