“…The operating temperatures were somewhat higher than in previous runs (Beeson, et al, 1970) and were in the range from 1600 to 2000°F. The steam flow rate during most of the runs had a value between 5 and 12 lbjhr.…”

“…The apparatus was a modification of that described by Beeson, et al (1970), and consisted of a reactor, equipment for continuously supplying and removing both gas and solids, a three-phase power supply, and a product gas analyzer ( Figure 1). The system was operated at atmospheric pressure.…”

“…diameter batch reactor (Pulsifer, et al, 1969), and preliminary results were obtained from operation of a 12-in. diameter continuous reactor (Beeson, et al, 1970). Typical results of gasification runs and infor-mation on the electrical characteristics of the system when operating with single-phase power were presented for the 12-in.…”

The production of a hydrogen-rich synthesis gas from coal char and steam was investigated in a 12-in. diameter, continuous electrofluid reactor. The reactor has been operated at temperatures approaching 2000°F and using both single and three-phase ac power. Data on the gasification rate and the electrical characteristics of the system were taken and several different electrode materials were tested. A large part of the interelectrode resistance seemed to be due to contact resistance. Electrode life remains a problem.
