Popis: Thermochemical calculations involving some typical mixed-gas environments and temperatures of gasifiers were used to examine iron-based phase stabilities to assess the potential for metal dusting in coal gasification systems. The results indicated that Fe 3 C is only stable under conditions when certain reactions are suppressed and that FeO and Fe 0.877S tend to form instead of the carbide. Assuming Fe3C is a necessary step in the metal dusting of steels, there are therefore numerous coal gasification systems where this type of carbon-related degradation will not occur, particularly under conditions associated with higher oxygen and sulfur activities.
