METHOD OF GASIFYING SOLID CARBONACEOUS MATERIALS AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

A method and apparatus for gasifying a solid carbonaceous material in a molten metal bath are disclosed. The solid carbonaceous material is blown onto and/or into the molten metal bath together with a gasifying agent in a gasification chamber and the resulting slag is removed through a slag chamber provided adjacent to the gasification chamber. At least part of the slag chamber is filled with lumps of a solid carbonaceous material, and the resulting slag is removed through a space packed with the lumps, and the product gas is recovered through a space packed with the lumps.
