The idea of recovering the energy values of coal by in-situ processes, without the intervention of human effort below ground and without bringing waste to the surface, is one which has exceptional appeal to the public. For this reason alone, a careful analysis of the possibilities is desirable, regularly renewed in the light of developing technology and …
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a promising mineral resource development technology that can transform in-situ coal into combustible gas by controlling combustion. However, wastewater generated during the UCG process can lead to environmental pollution in adjacent areas through diffusion or infiltration.

Abstract. One concept for in-situ coal gasification involves fracturing thick, deep, coal seams using chemical explosives. The resultant high-permeability zone then would be ignited and reacted with a steam/ oxygen mixture to produce medium-Btu gas suitable for upgrading to pipeline quality in a surface plant.This paper discusses the calculational …
The basic process of in-situ gasification of coal looks very straight-forward. This process requires first drilling an injection borehole and a production borehole from the surface into the coal seam, then linkage through the coal seam between the two boreholes to facilitate the gases to flow from gasification zone to the production well. ...
A molten catalytic process has been demonstrated for converting coal into a synthesis gas consisting of roughly 20% methane and 80% hydrogen using alkali hydroxides as both catalysts and in situ CO 2 capture agents. Baselines studies were also conducted using no catalyst, weak capture agents (CaSiO 3) and strong in situ capture agent for acid gases …
