Abstract
Results from work on experimentally studying and numerically simulating gasification of lowgrade coals and wastes generated from the coal-mining industry by means of steam conversion are presented. The mass concentrations of the gas phase components H2 and CO obtained at different values of the steam flowrate-to-initial material feed ratio are determined from the calculation results.
