The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...
Abstract. Underground coal gasification is a conversion and extraction process, for the production of useful synthetic product gas from an insitu coal seam, to use in power generation, heat production or as a chemical feedstock. While many variants of the underground coal gasification process have been considered and over 75 trials performed ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a gasification process used to produce gas from coal in situ by injecting air or oxygen into nonmined coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface wells. The resulting synthetic gas ("syngas") can be used to produce electricity, as well as chemicals, liquid fuels, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for the future use of unworked coal. UCG permits coal to be gasified in situ within the coal seam, via a matrix of coal is ignited and air is injected underground to sustain a fire, which is essentially used to "mine" the coal and produce a combustible synthetic gas which can be used for industrial heating, power ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) ... The notable products in a coal pyrolysis process encompass CO, H 2, CH 4, CO 2, H 2 O, char, and to a lesser amount tar and hydrocarbons. It is thus evident that the generation of H 2 occurs principally in the reduction and pyrolysis categories.
the gasification process needs to be monitored and controlled to ensure that the underground gasification has a stable combustible gas composition and calorific value, as well as a higher gas yield and gasification rate [1]. UCG is a very complex physical and chemical process, and many factors affect the composition and quality of syngas.
1. Technical connotation of underground coal gasification Concept Underground coal gasification (UCG) refers to the process of producing CH4, H2 and other combustible gases through controlled combustion of coal in situ in the strata with appro priate engineering technology[1ï€6].
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process which converts coal into product gas. UCG is an insitu gasification process, carried out in nonmined coal seams using injection of oxidants and steam. The product gas is brought to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The predominant product gases are methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) requires monitoring of the gasification area because the gasification process is invisible and the reaction temperature exceeds 1000 °C. Many fracturing events that occurred due to coal heating can be captured with Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring technique during UCG.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) has its own reaction characteristics with the growth of the combustion cavity because the coal seam is fixed while the gasification face moves. The theoretical understanding of UCG requires continuous and deep research. In order to explain the UCG mechanism by means of simulation calculation, based on the analysis of the reaction process of UCG, radial and ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. Underground coal gasification is sometimes referred to as insitu coal gasification (ISCG). The process has been developed over more than a century, though only a few projects currently operate on a continuous basis.

8. Application to underground coal gasification (UCG) UCG, a clean coal technology, is widely understood as a disruptive mining method that is efficient and environmentally benign. This method extracts deep and stranded coal by performing complex gasification reactions insitu within the coal seam.
The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888. He suggested, "The purpose of coal mining is the extraction of the energy composition in coal, rather than the coal mining itself," and also pointed out the basic approach to realize industrialization of coal gasification.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial gasification process, which is carried out in nonmined coal seams. It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface.
The process of underground coal gasification (UCG) is considered to be one of the forms of clean coal technologies for obtaining gaseous fuel and synthesis gas from hard coal (Burton et al. 2006; Bhutto et al. 2013; Cough 2009).In the situation of increasingly smaller coal resources available for economically justified mining and the unfavorable impact of coal combustion on the environment ...
By igniting in the coal seam and injecting gas agent, underground coal gasification (UCG) causes coal to undergo thermochemical reactions in situ and, thus, to be gasified into syngas for power generation, hydrogen production, and storage. Compared with traditional mining technology, UCG has the potential sustainable advantages in energy, environment, and the economy. The paper reviewed the ...
The coal is converted into syngas during the underground coal gasification process in the coal seam (, in situ). The gas is produced and extracted by a well drilled into the gasified coal seam. The injection well is used to inject oxidants,, air, oxygen, vapor, or their mixture. The injection well also serves to ignite the coal seam at ...
Coal is an important source for power generation, currently supplying 41% of the global electricity demand. Also significant quantities of coal are employed in metallurgical processes, gasification, and cement industries as well as raw materials for activated carbon and some other industrial purposes [1].The limitation of the conventional coal mining methods for extracting seams located at ...
The process of underground coal gasification is accompanied by heating of the roof and floor rocks of the coal bed and subsurface waters. It is known that an increase of temperature of subsurface waters leads to a change in the chemical and physical properties of water: a) the solvent power of water increases; b) the density of water decreases ...

During underground coal gasification, the process gas will tend to escape from the cavity if there is an outward pressure gradient. In order to prevent this, a common practice is to ensure that the fluid flow from the strata surrounding the cavity must be towards it [46]. However, under specific conditions where coal acts as a confined aquifer ...
With underground coal gasification (UCG), the actual process takes place underground, generally below 1,200 feet. The underground setting provides both the feedstock source as well as pressures comparable to that in an aboveground gasifier. With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
