Coal gasification processes for synthetic liquid fuel production
The gasification of coal or a derivative (, char produced from coal) is, essentially, the conversion of coal (by any one of a variety of processes) to produce combustible gases (Calemma and Radović, 1991, Fryer and Speight, 1976, Garcia and Radović, 1986, Kristiansen, 1996, Radović and Walker, 1984, Radović et al., 1983, Speight, 2008).
