The invention relates to the field of
clean energy development and utilization, in particular to an
underground coal gasification method with high-temperature steam as a gasifying agent and an experimental device. The method comprises the steps of exploration, well building, permeability increasing, gasification,
coal gas utilization and
waste treatment, the experimental device comprises a steam generator and a gasification furnace, the steam generator injects high-temperature steam into the gasification furnace, the high-temperature steam is used for
coal gasification, in the gasification step, the high-temperature steam is injected into a
coal seam, and the high-temperature steam is used for
coal gasification. The high-temperature steam serving as a gasifying agent is subjected to a series of reactions with the coal, the high-temperature steam is gasified to generate
coal gas through
chemical reaction with the coal, and the high-temperature steam is also used for heating the coal to pyrolyze the coal to generate
coal gas; according to the method,
oxygen is not directly injected into the coal seam, the coal seam is not ignited, and
combustion of coal is not involved, but high-temperature steam is injected into the coal seam, the
underground coal gasification process is completed through the oxidation-reduction reaction and the
distillation pyrolysis action of the high-temperature steam and the coal, and the raw gas is generated.
