Properties and performance of materials in the coal gasification environment

Abstract

This book contains the proceedings cosponsored by the Gas Research Institute, Metal Properties Council, Inc., American Society for Metals, and US Department of Energy. A large part of the conference covered materials testing conducted in simulated and actual coal-gasification conditions under the auspices of Subcommittee 9 of the MPC. Many of the investigators who have been active in evaluating materials for coal-conversion service during the past few years also contributed to the proceedings. Accordingly, this book is a valuable reference work on materials behavior in the chemically aggressive, high-temperature, high-pressure environments of coal-gasification plants.
