This work has been prepared in framework of the task of research, "Development of coal<br />

gasification technology for high efficient production of fuels and electricity" funded by the Polish<br />

National Centre for Research and Development within the strategic program of research and<br />

development: "Advanced energy generation technologies".<br />

The results presented in this paper were obtained from research work co-financed by the National<br />

Centre of Research and Development in the framework of Contract SP/E/1/67484/10 – Strategic<br />

Research Program – Advanced technologies for energy generation: Development of a technology<br />

for highly efficient zero-emission coal-fired power units integrated with CO2 capture.<br />
