Shenhua Wuhai’s \"Method for Producing Methanol from High-Sulfur Coal\" was granted a **patent.** December 23, 2016 – It was reported on December 23, 2016 that the \"Method for Producing Methanol from High-Sulfur Coal,\" developed by a research team led by Wu Zhenlin, the deputy general manager of Shenhua Wuhai Energy Company, has been awarded a **patent.** \"A method for producing methanol from high-sulfur coal\" (including the use of high-sulfur coal for coking) involves using a fixed-bed reactor to carry out pressurized gasification of the coke product. The gasification conditions are as follows: coke particles with a size of 5–55 mm are used as raw material, water vapor and oxidants serve as gasifying agents, and the gasification reaction takes place at a pressure of 3–4 MPa and a temperature of 1100–1300°C to produce crude gas (referred to simply as coke particle gas generation), which is then used to synthesize methanol. http://www.chinacoalchem.com/news.asp?id=61679
