Coal Conversion Processes: Gasification and Liquefaction
The characteristics of each coal conversion process must be considered in any attempt at hazard evaluation, as so many different processes have been attempted or projected (see reviews by Parker and Dykstra, 1978; Ghassemi, Crawford and Quinlivan, 1978; NIOSH, 1978a).Each needs to be analysed specifically for the types of wastes produced and how these are distributed to water, air and soil.
