Dear list<br>
I must write a brief explanation about biomass and coal
gasification. I am confused when I must explain hydrogen production
from gasification. I can understand quite well about biomass
gasification, because biomass contains H in their chains. But I
still have no idea when many authors wrote about producing Hydrogen
from coal.<br>
<br>
AFAIK coal is mainly carbon, but many wrote this reaction,
concerning <b>oxygen gasification</b><br>
<br>
C + O2 --> CO2<br>
C + 1/2 O2 --> CO<br>
H + 1/2 O2 --> H2O<br>
<br>
my question is where does the <b>hydrogen</b> in that reaction come
from if it is not a steam gasification?<br>
Or it should be a steam gasification ?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Tasliman<br>
