Liquid Fuels and Chemical Feedstocks from Coal by Supercritical Gas Extraction

Abstract

He received his B.Tech (Honors) from Osmania University, India, in 1970, and his M.S. from Northwestern University in 1971. He has co-authored four papers in the water pollution area. His research interests are in environmental sciences, thermodynamics, and synthetic fuels. Mr. Gangoli is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Sigma Xi, and Tau Beta Pi; he will be joining the Environmental Control

Reactions at supercritical conditions: Applications and fundamentals

“…Finally, SCF processes may also offer advantages for the downstream processing and separation of products. Gangoli and Thodos (1977) discuss these and other advantages that prompted much of the initial research in SCF processing of coal.…”

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Candiota (South Brazilian) Coal Extracts

“…There is a lot of work to be done in south Brazilian coal, whose chemical structure is still not well defined (1). The coal reserves in Brazil represent 60% of Brazil's nonrenewable energy sources.…”

Physico — Chemical Properties of Supercritical Fluids

“…Other advantages of using supercritical fluids in coal distillation include the separation of solid-free extracts and a porous residue (coke) that is fairly easy to gasify [39]. supercritical conditions.…”
