Synopsis

This volume contains the lectures presented at the Advanced Study Institute on "Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Catalytic Solid Fuel Conversion for the Production of aean Synthetic Fuels" which was held at Ak~;ay, Edremit, Tiirkiye, between July 21 and August 3, 1991. The book includes 23 chapters originally written for the meeting by distinguished scientists an technologists in the field. l would like to acknowledge the contribution of each of the authors in the book. Their efforts have shed light on our understanding in coal science research and better utilization of coal. Three main subjects: structure and reactivity of coal; cleaning of coal and its products, and factors affecting environmental balance of energy usage and solutions for future, were discussed in the Institute and these are presented under six groups in the book. I hope that of great use to research workers from academic and industrial background. the book will be Many people contributed to the success of the Institute on which this volume was based. I take this occasion to thank my colleagues who lectured in the Institute, both for their efforts during the two weeks and their expertly prepared lecture notes that reached to me in time. The Institute was generously sponsored by the Scientific and Environmental Affairs Dh·ision of the NATO and their contribution is deeply acknowledged.

About this title

Synopsis

There are three options available for obtaining a clean energy system: clean the fuel; clean the processes; or clean the products. While it is true that contemporary science and technology are both robust enough to deal with the problems and produce solutions to the use of clean fuels in clean processes, economics is less strong - very often unclear - and uncertainty about prices makes comparisons difficult. Furthermore, what is appropriate for one country may be wrong for another. The interdisciplinary nature of these problems demands attack on a broad front, and considerable exchange of ideas and expertise. "Clean Utilization of Coal" aims to represent just such an interchange, and should appeal to all those involved in the efficient use of energy, leading to lower usage and less environmental damage throughout the whole chain, from winning the material to disposal of the combustion products.
