Popis: The effects of the additives of iron, nickel, zinc, and their oxides on the process of coal gasification with carbon dioxide at temperatures of 550–800°C was studied. It was found that the additives used did not exhibit noticeable activity upon mixing with coal. Impregnation with nickel was found most efficient; it caused a notable increase in the rate of the process and a higher degree of CO2 conversion, as compared with the thermodynamically equilibrium conversion for a given temperature. Thus, impregnation with 5% nickel made it possible to decrease the reaction temperature by 80°C with the retention of the yield of CO at about 100%. Kinetic models for describing noncatalytic and catalytic gasification reactions were considered and a mechanism of the process in the presence of nickel was proposed.
