Abstract: The invention is a process for quenching a first synthesis gas mixture containing synthesis gas, molten flyash, water, and carbon dioxide and producing additional synthesis gas consisting of (a) passing the first synthesis gas mixture into a first quench zone; (b) introducing into the quench zone a mixture of pulverized coal in a nitrogen or carbon dioxide carrier gas; (c) endothermically reacting the pulverized coal with the water and the carbon dioxide in the synthesis gas mixture thus producing additional synthesis gas consisting of hydrogen and carbon dioxide and wherein the additional synthesis gas is admixed with the first synthesis gas mixture to form a second synthesis gas mixture; (d) passing the second synthesis gas mixture to a second quench zone; (e) introducing into the second quench zone a cooling gas for admixture with the second synthesis gas mixture, thus cooling the second synthesis gas mixture, where the molten flyash is solidified, and thus forms a third synthesis gas mixture; and (f) pass

Abstract: This invention is a method for reducing the particulate emissions tendency of diesel fuel. Also the piston ring sticking, and deposit formation tendency of diesel fuel on the injector and combustion chamber of an internal combustion diesel fuel are reduced. The diesel fuel under the method of this invention is fed to at least one adsorbent bed in which the diesel fuel is contacted with one or more adsorbents under suitable process conditions such that there is a reduction in content of impurities in the fuel which cause the particulate emission causing tendency, piston ring sticking, and deposit formation tendency of the diesel fuel on the injector and/or combustion chamber.

Abstract: The present invention is an unleaded fuel composition containing a major amount of a hydrocarbon base fuel of the gasoline boiling range containing an amount effective to reduce NO.sub.x emissions from electronic port fuel injected engines of ammonia or an ammonium compound. The invention also includes a method of reducing NO.sub.x emissions from electronic port fuel injected engines by feeding to the engine exhaust gases at a point between the outlet valves and catalytic converter an amount effective to reduce NO.sub.x emissions from the engines of ammonia or an ammonium compound.

Abstract: The invention is a process for combusting a gaseous fuel in a burner to result in low NO.sub.x emissions by first feeding a gaseous fuel stream and an air stream to a premixer where the fuel and air streams are mixed to form a fuel-air mixture. The fuel and air streams are fed to the premixer at a fuel to air equivalence ratio of less than 1 (i.e., fuel-lean). Second, the fuel-air mixture is passed to a combustion chamber where the fuel is substantially combusted to produce a combustion chamber jet and flue gases. The combustion chamber jet and flue gases pass into a heating zone which may include a furnace, heater, or boiler. Third, at least two high-velocity fuel streams, optionally diluted with a nonreactive thermal ballast, are passed to the heating zone contemporaneously with the second step. The high-velocity fuel streams entrain at least a portion of the flue gases. The fuel in the high-velocity fuel streams is partially combusted prior to coming into contact with the combustion chamber jet.
