Abstract
- With the rapid development of the economy and the increasing demand for carbon emission reduction, syngas production from petroleum coke (PC) gasification has attracted extensive attention. The current paper aimed to summarize the synergistic effects of the co-gasification of PC with various carbon-based feedstocks on gasification reactivity, syngas production, and mineral transformation. The key parameters, including feedstock types, temperature, gasification atmosphere, etc., were reviewed in detail. The main approaches affecting the synergy comprised the following: (1) high temperatures favored the synergistic effect; (2) high volatile content and alkali index of blended feedstocks were preferred for non-isothermal gasification, whereas the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals promoted synergy during isothermal gasification; (3) strong gasification agent weakened the synergistic effect of blended feedstocks on PC. Meanwhile, the two main synergy mechanisms, including mineral and organic matter catalysis, were discussed. The improvement of syngas quality required the following: (1) increasing the gasification temperature to attain conditions conducive to the production of H 2 and CO; (2) optimization of the gasification agent/fuel ratio; (3) blending of feedstocks with low ash content and high volatile matter. For mineral transformation, (1) blending with coal can generate low-melting substances and convert Ni 3 S 2 to Ni particles, thereby alleviating liquid slagging and fouling problems; (2) blending with biomass needs to be elevated to inhibit the formation of V 2 O 3. Further work is encouraged to address the experimental verification of the synergy mechanism and the influence of tar on the quality of syngas and to deal with the co-gasification of PC and emerging feedstocks. Meanwhile, in-depth studies on mineral transformation and life cycle assessment for integrated PC co-gasification must be conducted. [Display omitted] • Effect on reactivity, syngas production and mineral transformation of petroleum coke co-gasification is reviewed. • Main approaches for improving the reactivity and syngas quality are discussed. • The slagging and fouling behaviors of minerals are clarified. • Advanced industrial technology and challenges for co-gasification are highlighted.
