Book Description

This book provides an excellent overview of current technologies for the gasification of coal, oil, gas, biomass and waste feedstocks. Starting from the basic theory, it reviews the potential feedstocks and their suitability for different types of gasification process.

Commercial and near-commercial processes are described individually and various features discussed in detail. There is a comprehensive review of contaminants in synthesis gas as well as of gas treating processes. One chapter is devoted to discussions of various chemical, fuel and power applications for gasification. Economic, environmental and safety issues of gasification are also covered.

Both authors have been involved with gasification for over 30 years, gaining in the process a fund of practical insight and experience, which is evident throughout the book.

* Addresses practical issues such as selection of the best equipment.
* Ideal reference for anyone involved in operating or designing a gasification plant.
* Written in an easy-to-understand format with worked examples and a comprehensive glossary and bibliography.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Catalog of Current Technology (2002).......2006-02-25

The book is well organized with a brief, but necessary, introduction to thermodynamics and kinetics. After that, the authors procede into feedstock details, what to expect from using different types of coal, petcoke, biomass and waste. I especially liked the cost estimate information. I guess I realized without realizing it that the authors were right about their description of the problems with biomass (including ethanol): the bulk transporation costs are a killer. (I worked at ADM for a while, and always suspected it. I already knew about our problem with disposing of waste, which amounted to perhaps a large amount of our biomass produced. ADM sold it to farmers.)They also introduced some novel thoughts on feedstock being considered such as building plants on the coastline and burning algae while using solar power (and perhaps tidal power) as well as an abundant supply of water to provide feedstock ---- an interesting idea. After feedstock, the author describes briefly, in a catalog fashion, the wide variety of gasification approaches that exists, breaking them up into three basic categories: moving bed, fluid bed, and entrained flow. Cross comparisons are made of each. Next, a chapter on practical issues covers specific details that would have bogged down the previous chapter. The remainder of the book covers applications, auxiliary technology, economics and safety, and finally, environmental. The summary at the end should be read first to give you a clue where the technology is going, especially with the IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle). The IGCC seems to be the direction the power companies are exploring. I especially liked all the details on the efficiencies of the state-of-the-art desulfurization and mercury removal, and CO shifter catalysts. The book abounds with block diagrams: I wish more books used this approach. The terminology is a little challenging but there is a good index in the back. Failings: (1) the index is poor -- needs work in the second edition; (2)work on mercury is proceeding --- perhaps after the copywrite date; (3) the book binding is not too great --- I wore my out after a month of thorough reading; (4) a few diagrams mimicing what is shown on the IGCC Wabash site might be useful --- step by step processing of one gasification reactor; (5) perhaps a little more work describing acid gas treatment and desulfurization --- maybe an update is required. All-in-all, an excellent, inexpensive text by authors who know their material and can present it wisely.

As an addendum, I suggest getting a copy of "Synthetic Fuels from Coal," by Anderson and Tillman, CR 1979, John Wiley. This older book seems to be the grandfather version of Gasification. Despite its age, it is excellent background and has much historical information unavailable in Gasification.

        All the guidance needed to test coal and analyze the results
        With the skyrocketing costs of most fuel sources, government, industry, and consumers are taking a greater interest in coal, an abundant and inexpensive alternative, which has been made more environmentally friendly through new technology. Published in response to this renewed interest, Handbook of Coal Analysis provides readers with everything they need to know about testing and analyzing coal. Moreover, it explains the meaning of test results and how these results can predict coal behavior and its corresponding environmental impact during use.
        The thorough coverage of coal analysis includes:
        * Detailed presentation of necessary standard tests and procedures
        * Explanation of coal behavior relative to its usage alongside the corresponding environmental issues
        * Coverage of nomenclature, terminology, sampling, and accuracy and precision of analysis
        * Step-by-step test method protocols for proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, mineral matter, physical and electrical properties, thermal properties, mechanical properties, spectroscopic properties, and solvent properties
        * Emphasis on relevant American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and test methods, including corresponding International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and British Standards Institution (BSI) test method numbers
        To assist readers in understanding the material, a glossary of terms is provided. Each term is defined in straightforward language that enables readers to better grasp complex concepts and theory. References at the end of each chapter lead readers to more in-depth discussions of specialized topics.
        This is an essential reference for analytical chemists, process chemists, and engineers in the coal industry as well as other professionals and researchers who are looking to coal as a means to decrease dependence on foreign oil sources and devise more efficient, cleaner methods of energy production.

        5 out of 5 stars Valuable guide for those enterring the field.......2005-05-13

        The high price of oil pretty much guarantees a renewed interest in "unconventional" sources of energy including coal, oil sands, and oil shale. The Canadians are doing a bang-up job with oil sands, and while the US has immense resources of oil shale, the real interest in the US for the foreseeable future will probably be expanded use of coal. This ensures recruitment of an entire new generation into the technology of coal, since most of us who worked this area 25 years ago have moved on to other things or retired or just moved on.

        From James Speight comes a very handy resource for those entering the field, Handbook of Coal Analysis. This book is part of the Wiley Interscience series on Chemical Analysis; it is available on Amazon.

        The book covers all manner of fundamental and operational analyses required in characterizing coal samples. Fundamental analyses are those like elemental analysis, called "Ultimate Analysis" in coal jargon; operational analyses are those like measurements of volatile matter and heat of combustion. All the information in this book can be found elsewhere, such as research papers and the ASTM standards series, but nowhere else is all of it bundled into one handy volume and nowhere else is the role and value of individual analyses explained so clearly.

        For instance, I looked over the section on oxygen analysis, long a problem for coal chemists. In the past, most of the reported oxygen analyses were made by difference. Jim describes the various direct and indirect methods available and discusses pros and cons. Older references do not address these questions at all.

        Full disclosure - Jim Speight is a long-time colleague of mine and we occasionally work together on projects. In addition, Jim arranged for the publisher to provide me a review copy of the book. That said, if I did not like the book, I would have kept my mouth shut and written no review. I do like it, as is obvious from my review.

                  The Second Mexican Meeting on Mathematical and Experimental Physics brought together scientists from many different fields. The Meeting was divided into three Symposia: (i) Materials Science and Applied Physics, (ii) Statistical Physics and Beyond, (iii) Gravitation and Cosmology. This CD-ROM contains the complete proceedings from all three Symposia. The Symposia are also available separately as printed books, published in AIP Conference Proceedings Volumes 757, 758, and 759.

                    Book Description

                    Traditionally a scientific theory is viewed as based on universal laws of nature that serve as axioms for logical deduction. In analyzing the logical structure of evolutionary biology, Elisabeth Lloyd argues that the semantic account is more appropriate and powerful. This book will be of interest to biologists and philosophers alike.

                        Book Description

                        Local and global spatial coupling mechanisms form the basis of transport processes that are of fundamental importance for the occurrence and the dynamic evolution of patterns on a mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. The present volume deals with these concepts and investigates applications in the fields of biophysics and chemistry.
