“…49 Recent papers utilizing fixed topologies have incorporated synthesis gas conversion into methanol and subsequently methanol-to-gasoline technologies. [35][36][37] Motivated by the same reasons outlined above, several researchers have investigated these systems via an optimization based superstructure approach. Chen et al, proposed a nonlinear programming model that coproduced power and liquid fuels, and maximized the net present value of such polygeneration systems.…”

“…Several competing upgrading schemes also exist that vary the yields of the fuel products. Liu et al 35 compares the Fischer-Tropsch and methanol-to-gasoline processes in this context through the use of fixed topologies. However, the syngas conversion alternatives for hydrocarbon, heat, electricity, and hydrogen production ( Figure 4) produces semi-infinitely many process designs due to existence of various alternatives and split decisions.…”

Volatility of crude oil prices and dependence of the United States on petroleum imports make the development of alternative refineries inevitable. Recent work has focused on developing and simulating such alternative processes from integrated biomass/natural gas and biomass/coal feedstocks to produce fuels and chemicals. These process simulations provide invaluable information on the performance and capability of the specific process alternative considered. However, the development of many alternative technologies, along with multiple feedstock and product possibilities, made the superstructure based optimization methods the natural approaches to be pursued. These process superstructures can be efficiently optimized to provide insights into topological, economic, and environmental trade-offs by simultaneously weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative. Despite the development of these powerful tools, several outstanding challenges need to be systematically addressed. These challenges include the implementation of different conversion technologies and feedstock types, investigating the production of a superset of fuels and chemicals, systematically addressing price uncertainties for robust refinery designs, and synthesizing a supply network optimization to potentially displace the petroleum demand. This perspective article reviews the current work on integrated biomass/natural gas and biomass/coal refineries, highlights the major advances in these fields, and discusses future directions. 2 that are considered in the literature. In this article, we present the existing alternatives, state-ofthe-art approaches, new directions, and outstanding challenges towards the integrated biomass and fossil fuel systems for the production of fuels and chemicals.

“…Coal is the most abundant fossil energy on Earth, which can be used to prepare coke [1], aromatics [2], methane [3][4][5], methanol [6], ammonia [7], gasoline [8] and other chemical products through coking, gasification and liquefaction. Among them, the process of coal gasification to methane has been extensively studied in recent years [9][10][11], due to its high energy conversion efficiency, short process flow and low equipment investment of unit product.…”

Ni/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by combustion method was applied in a slurry methanation reaction to study the catalytic performance, especially the regeneration performance. The catalyst properties were characterized by (X-Ray diffraction) XRD, Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES), Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG), Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO), and H2 chemisorption before and after reaction. The results show that the catalyst deactivation was mainly due to carbon deposition, which exhibited amorphous carbon films and formed by the disproportionation of CO. The carbon deposition was formed on the catalyst surface and existed as carbon films during the reaction, then it gradually separated from the catalyst surface, generated an overlapping multi-layer three-dimensional carbon structure, which covered the active site and blocked the pores. As a result, the metal surface area of catalyst decreases, as well as the activity. The carbon deposition could be removed by oxidative calcination without destroying the catalyst structure, the active sites could be re-exposed and the catalyst activity could be recovered.

“…Few studies referred to hydrogen production from co‐gasification of biomass and coal with in situ CO 2 capture , . Therefore, the purpose of this work is to study the influence of operational variables such as coal/biomass ratio ( C/B ), steam/fuel ratio ( S/F ), and fuel particle size ( d p ) on gas composition and performance parameters during co‐gasification of biomass and coal blended with CaO as a CO 2 sorbent in a circulating fluidized‐bed (CFB) reactor.…”

Among the options for clean energy production, the gasification process is receiving increasing attention as it offers the best combination of investment and value of produced electricity compared to other methods. An Aspen Plus model of co-gasification of biomass and coal with in situ CO 2 capture was developed to evaluate its potential for hydrogen production and cracking of organic impurities, i.e., tars. The effects of some critical operational variables on gas composition and yields of hydrogen gas and tar were investigated. The obtained results indicate that the fuel particle size plays a minor role in the process; smaller particles favor the conversion of tar and production of more hydrogen gas.
