32. --------------. [ALLNER, W.] [Brown Coal as Raw Material for Town Gas and Synthesis Gas.] Braunkohle, vol. 35, 1936, p. 886; Chem. Eng. Cong., World Power Conf., vol. E1, 1936, 20 pp.; Chem. Abs., vol. 31, 1937, p. 8157. An addendum is presented. The Pintsch-Hillebrand process yields a gas suitable for the Fischer synthesis in 1 stage. It contains 15% inerts (CO2, CH4, and N2) and 85% of H2 and CO in the ratio, H2:CO=2. After catalytically converting the CO into CO2 and washing out the latter, the gas contains 97-98% of H2. Data provided by J. Pintsch A.-G., are given for the cost of erecting and operating a plant yielding 80,000 m.3 of synthesis gas/hr. |
