ABSTRACT
The valorisation fine coal waste is still very limited in creating energy, especially syngas. This study aims to convert fine coal waste into synthetic gas via gasification using catalyst. Fine coal gasification takes place at 350 – 750 °C in an updraft gasifier using catalyst of 12.5 – 25 wt% natural zeolite. The research results show that the addition of zeolite has synergy with increasing temperature. The syngas produced at 750 °C and 12.5 wt% zeolite consisted of 32 vol% H2, 30.1 vol% CO, 27.7 vol% CH4 and 5.1 vol% CO2. The carbon conversion efficiency and high heating value (HHV) of synthetic gas are 88.34% and 18.97 MJ/Nm³. Fine coal has the potential to be reused as an energy source in the future.
