Abstract

Abstract: The shortage of natural gas and utilization problems of low rank coal resources make the development of new,efficient and environmentally friendly technology for methane production from low rank coal become the hot topic of research. The issues discussed and analyzed include effects of temperature,pressure,catalyst,coal type and gasification agent on the process of methane production by hydrogenation of coal; reaction kinetics and mechanism of methane production by hydrogenation of coal; merits and drawbacks of three typical techniques for methane production by hydrogenation of coal; and a new technique under development by the authors,that is,methane production from highly activated semi-coke made by carbonation and deoxygenation of low rank coal. In conclusion,production of substitute natural gas through hydromethanation of biomass and low rank coal has become a new research focus,in which research of new and cheap catalyst and development of new methanation reactor and technology for hydromethanation of coal play a vital role.
