Abstract

Hydrogen generation and recycle gas separation for coal liquefaction. Just as 40 years ago, low-temperature processes are now again being considered for recycle gas separation in today's large scale coal liquefaction projects. Hydrogen can be generated by gasification of heavy residues and by steam reforming of ethane. Alternatives for recycle gas separation into hydrogen and gas products are butane and methane absorption or low-temperature condensation processes at high or medium pressure. These processes employ several additional absorption and adsorption steps for gas purification. They are proven on a large technical scale, and fulfill the requirements of environmental legislation.
