NOVELTY - Particulate composition comprises an intimate mixture comprising a coal particulate loaded with a transition metal gasification catalyst, a coal particulate loaded with an alkaline earth metal source and a coal particulate loaded with a alkali metal gasification catalyst.    USE - The particulate composition is useful: for producing combustible gases including methane and at least one or more of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and other higher hydrocarbons; and in integrated gasification process for converting coal to combustible gases.    ADVANTAGE - The particulate composition: increases the yield of combustible gaseous products from catalytic coal gasification; is recyclable , thus reducing raw material cost and minimizing environmental impact of a catalytic coal gasification process; provides economically and commercially practical process for catalytic gasification of coals, such as lignites or sub-bituminous coal, with high ash and moisture contents to yield methane and other value-added gases as a product; and allows decreased loss of alkali catalysts in the gasification process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Particulate composition comprises an intimate mixture comprising a coal particulate loaded with a transition metal gasification catalyst, a coal particulate loaded with an alkaline earth metal source and a coal particulate loaded with a alkali metal gasification catalyst, where: the coal particulates have a size distribution suitable for gasification in a fluidized bed zone; in the presence of steam and under suitable temperature and pressure, the gasification catalysts exhibit gasification activity, thus many gases including methane and at least one or more of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and other higher hydrocarbons are formed; the transition metal gasification catalyst is present in an amount sufficient to provide, in the particulate composition, a ratio of transition metal atoms to carbon atoms of 0.001-0.10; the alkaline earth metal source is present at 0.1-3 wt.% alkaline earth metal atoms on a dry basis; and the alkali metal gasification catalyst is present in the particulate composition, at a ratio of alkali metal atoms to carbon atoms of 0.01-0.08. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a process for preparing a particulate composition, comprising: providing a first coal feedstock, a second coal feedstock, and a third coal feedstock, each in particulate form; contacting the first coal feedstock with a first aqueous solution comprising a transition metal gasification catalyst to form a first slurry; contacting the second coal feedstock with a second aqueous solution comprising alkaline earth metal source to form a second slurry; contacting the third coal feedstock with a third aqueous solution comprising an alkali metal gasification catalyst to form a third slurry; and dewatering the first slurry, the second slurry, and the third slurry to form a first wet cake, a second wet cake, and a third wet cake, respectively, where the process comprises the further steps of : (a1) thermally treating the first wet cake, the second wet cake, and the third wet cake with a dry inert gas to provide a first particulate, a second particulate, and a third particulate, each having a residual moisture content of less than 4 wt.% and (b1) blending at least a portion of the first particulate, at least a portion of the second particulate, and at least a portion of the third particulate to form a particulate composition; or (a2) combining at least a portion of the first wet cake, at least a portion of the second wet cake, and at least a portion of the third wet cake to form a final wet cake and (b2) thermally treating the final wet cake with a dry inert gas to provide a particulate composition having a residual moisture content of less than 4 wt.%; and    (2) a process for converting a particulate composition into many gaseous products, comprising: supplying the particulate composition to a gasification reactor; reacting the particulate composition in the gasification reactor in the presence of steam under suitable temperature and pressure to form the gaseous; and at least partially separating the gaseous products to produce a stream comprising a predominant amount of one of the gaseous products.
