A new method for the gasification of fine solid fuel was proposed and worked out, by partial oxidation in a flow of gaseous oxidant with filtration of the suspended fuel through an inert porous matrix. In this case, the solid fuel gasification was carrying out similar to the filtration combustion of gases. The gasification of fine solid coal allows one to produce a combustible gas rich in H-2 and CO was studied. A possibility of pulverized coal gasification in a fixed bed reactor with production of gaseous products containing up to 13% by volume of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was shown experimentally.
