چکیده
Monitorovanie a riadenie podzemneho splyňovania uhlia v laboratórnych podmienkach A number of coal gasification technologies are currently available or under various stages of development. One technology “Underground coal gasification (UCG)” is receiving renewed interest around the world. In this paper is provided the analysis of relevant processes during UCG. The laboratory equipment is described. Since experiments have long time response, partial automation has been realised. The structure of monitoring and control system is shown. Analysed are some results of measured data for oxidizing by air. Also, the influence of temperature on the structure of syngas is analysed. In light of the experimental results, potential performance of UCG in Slovak coal seam conditions is discussed.

UCGVision: Underground Coal Gasification Process Data Visualization Aspects
This work presents the UCGVision system designed for underground coal gasification process visualization, prediction, and monitoring. The possibility to visualize the ongoing reactions during the process is crucial for better insight into the process itself. Moreover, the system task is to give researchers and in the future process supervisor a tool to observe the current state of the process b...
متن کاملUnderground Coal Gasification: A Brief Review of Current Status
Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products. As compared with conventional mining and surface gasification, UCG promises lower capital/operating...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for the recovery of low-rank and inaccessible coal resources. Detailed mineralogical information is essential to understand underground reaction conditions far from the surface and optimize the operation parameters during the UCG process. It is also significant in identifying the environmental effects of UCG residue. In this paper, with ...
متن کاملEarly Ideas in Underground Coal Gasification and Their Evolution
This article follows the development of early UCG (underground coal gasification) ideas. Historical facts are discussed mainly from the technological perspective and early experiments in UCG are analyzed. Our search for the first successful UCG experiment brings to light a new finding, which was commonly overlooked in previous reviews. We also outline the key role that engineer and inventor A. ...
