• Sommario/riassunto: Coal gasification is the process for production of syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and dioxide, from coal and water. It is a classical example for the interaction of basic chemistry, chemical engineering, ecological and economic aspects. This monograph provides the reader with the necessary basic scientific background and displays with industry-proven examples efficiency, but also boundaries of models.Special emphases are a comprehensive overview on latest technology developments, and the introduction of an innovative, new order scheme for evaluation of the gasification process
