As global energy demand continues to increase, coal as basic energy still accounts for a significant proportion. Under the pressure of environmental protection, clean and efficient coal utilization technologies are in great demand. Coal gasification technology has the potential to realize near-zero-emissions for coal utilization. This paper establishes the coal gasification system model and analyzes the effect of oxygen/coal ratio and water/coal ratio on the system performance index of cold syngas efficiency, effective component ratio, carbon conversion ratio, and production ratio of hydrogen. The results show that when the oxygen/coal ratio increases, the efficiency of cold syngas and effective components ratio increase first and then decrease, carbon conversion ratio first increases and then remains unchanged, hydrogen production ratio gradually decreases; When the steam/coal ratio increases, the cold syngas efficiency, and carbon conversion ratio first increase and then decrease, effective component ratio ingredients gradually decreases, and the hydrogen production ratio increases. Using BP neural network to realize the prediction of the gasification system, and the mean square error reaches the magnitude of 10e-7. Multi-objective optimization results show that the oxygen/coal ratio and steam/coal ratio corresponding to the highest production ratio of hydrogen is 0.52 and 0.05. The highest carbon conversion ratio corresponds to the oxygen/coal ratio of 0.95 and the steam/coal ratio of 0.05.
