In the partial oxidation of a sulfur- and metal-containing carbonaceous charge fuel to produce a sulfur-containing synthesis gas and metal-containing molten slag, an integrated method of charge fuel pretreatment and Claus unit tail gas sulfur removal is provided. The process of the instant invention is advantageous over other partial oxidation processes in that: (i) a fluid, molten slag which flows easily is produced, thereby improving reactor performance; and (ii) the overall removal of sulfur compounds from the synthesis gas is made simpler, more efficient, and less costly, as the need for a conventional Claus unit tail gas sulfur removal process is eliminated.

A process for conversion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into hydrocarbons in the presence of an ebullient bed of catalyst comprising reduced iron oxide containing an amount of potassium equivalent to 2 to 10 pounds potassium carbonate per 1000 pounds iron oxide catalyst, and having an average particle size in the range of 100-1000 microns. The catalyst may be sulfided for increasing the yield of C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 range hydrocarbons.

This is an improved continuous partial oxidation process for producing synthesis gas or fuel gas from gaseous CO. sub. 2 -solid carbonaceous fuel feeds. A solid carbonaceous fuel such as finely ground coal from a pressurized lock hopper is passed directly into a high pressure high velocity CO. sub. 2 -rich gas stream which carries the particles of coal into a free-flow noncatalytic gas generator where by the partial oxidation reaction with a free-oxygen containing gas, preferably in the absence of supplemental H. sub. 2 O other than that normally present in the reactants, gaseous mixtures principally comprising H. sub. 2, CO, CO. sub. 2, and H. sub. 2 O are produced. A CO. sub. 2 -rich gas stream is recovered downstream in the process and recycled to the pressurized feed system. The CO. sub. 2 -rich stream serves as a carrier for the carbonaceous fuel and as a reactant in the reaction zone.

Solid carbonaceous fuels are converted into gaseous fuels by a process comprising liquefying at least a portion of the solid fuel, subjecting a portion of the high boiling product to gasification with substantially pure oxygen to provide hydrogen for the liquefaction, subjecting the balance of the high boiling product to gasification with air to provide a gaseous product used as the stripping medium to remove lighter boiling materials from the liquefaction product and recovering fuel gas from the stripping zone overhead.

The subject process pertains to the secondary recovery of oil by the steam stimulation of an underground oil reservoir. As an added benefit, mechanical power and/or electrical energy may be simultaneously produced. In the subject process, raw fuel gas is first produced by the partial oxidation in a free-flow gas generator of a hydrocarbonaceous feed, such as preferably a portion of the oil recovered. The raw fuel gas is cleaned, purified, and burned in a gas turbine which drives a compressor or electric generator. The sensible heat in the raw fuel gas leaving the gas generator and in the flue gas discharged from the gas turbine is recovered by the production of high quality steam. This steam is injected into subterranean formations and reservoirs to accelerate production and to provide additional oil recovery.

Power is developed by an expansion turbine in which the working fluid is a gaseous mixture comprising all of the hot raw gas stream leaving an unpacked partial oxidation gas generator, after removing if present a portion of the entrained solids, in admixture with a temperature moderating stream. A molal increase is associated with the partial oxidation process. Power is obtained from this molal increase in addition to the power obtained from the elevated pressure and sensible heat in the hot raw partial oxidation product gas. The temperature moderating stream may comprise a recycle portion of the turbine exhaust gas stream after being cooled, cleaned, optionally water-gas shifted or purified, or both, and recompressed. Alternatively, the recycle gas stream may be mixed with water, steam, or both. In one embodiment the temperature moderating stream comprises liquid water or condensate produced in the process.
