Syngas laminar burning velocity measurements were carried out at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature using the Bunsen flame configuration with nozzle burner as a fundamental study on flame stability of syngas fuel. Representative syngas mixture compositions ($H_2$:CO) such as 25:75%, 50:50% and 75:25% and equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 1.4 have been conducted. Average laminar burning velocities have been determined by the stabilized nozzle burner flames using the angle method, radical surface area method and compared with the data obtained from the other literatures. And the results of each experimental methodologies in the various composition ratios and equivalence ratios were coincided with the result of numerical simulation. Especially, it was confirmed that there was necessary to choice a more accurate measurement methodology even the same static flame method for the various composition ratios of syngas fuel including hydrogen. Also, it was reconfirmed that the laminar burning velocities gradually increased with the increasing of hydrogen content in a fuel mixture.

석탄가스화는 화석연료인 석탄을 기존의 공해물질 발생을 90% 이상 줄이면서 고효율로 활용할 수 있는 방법이다. 3톤/일급 pilot급 석탄가스화 설비에서 생산된 CO와 수소가 주성분인 합성가스를 소형 LPG 엔진과 중형 천연가스 엔진에 연계시켜 발전시스템을 구성하였으며 전기생산까지 구현하였다. 합성가스의 고온 집진과 탈황을 자체기술로 구현하여 합성가스내 $H_2S$와 COS 성분들을 1 ppm 이하 정제와 99% 이상의 고온집진 효율을 확인하였다. 선진국들의 설비 규모에 비해서는 극히 열세인 국내 현황이지만, 고온고압의 석탄가스화로부터 탈황과 집진, 전기 생산까지 전 과정을 pilot 설비규모에서 실증하는 성과를 얻었으며 향후 전체 시스템의 최적화와 연속운전 기술의 개발로 이어진다면 중소형 석탄가스화 부분에서는 선진국과 차별화된 틈새시장 실용화 기술의 확보가 가능할 것이다.

SnO$_2$를 모물질로 하는 가스센서는 n형 산화물 반도체로서 공기중의 산소의 흡탈착 및 전자의 수수에 의해 전기전도도의 변화로 특정 가스를 감지한다. 지금까지 반도체식 가스센서의 모물질로 가장 많이 연구되어 왔지만 아직도 선택성, 안정성 등 여러 가지 문제를 안고 있다. 그리고 개선방안으로 귀금속 촉매의 첨가 및 입자의 크기의 조절 등이 흔히 연구되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순수한 SnO$_2$ 를 이용하여 소결 온도 및 입자 크기에 의한 영향을 CO가스 및 수분에 대한 감도, 반응 시간을 통해 알아보았다. 수열 합성 및 침전 법으로 나노 크기의 SnO$_2$ 분말을 합성하여 스크린 인쇄법으로 후막 가스센서를 제조하였다 침전법에서 SnCl$_4$에 암모니아수로 pH=10.5로 적정하여 SnO$_2$ 분말을 얻었다. 그리고 입자 크기를 조절하기 위해 수열 합성 시 autoclave 내의 수열처리 온도를 100, 150, 20$0^{\circ}C$로 조절하여 SnO$_2$ 분말을 제조하고 입자 크기와 성분분석을 위해 XRD, SEM, TEM, BET 측정을 하였다. 그 결과 침전법으로 제조한 입자의 크기는 20nm 정도였으며 수열 처리한 SnO$_2$ 입자는 10nm이하의 미세한 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 수열 합성 시 온도가 높아질수록 더 작은 입자 크기를 얻을 수 있었고 600, 7()0, 80$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후 입자성장이 침전법에 의한 SnO$_2$ 분말보다 더 작게 일어났다. 이렇게 제조한 나노크기의 SnO$_2$ 분말을 이용하여 습도 및 CO 가스에 대한 그 특실을 평가하였다. CO 20ppm에 대하여 40%정도의 감도를 보였으며 입자가 작아질수록 높은 감도를 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 반면 CO 가스와 반응 후 회복 시 입자 의기가 작아질수록 회복이 늦어짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 습도에 대한 반응 후 회복시간을 조사해보니 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이것은 입자 필기가 작아질수록 많은 흡착 사이트를 제공함으로써 높은 감도를 가지지만 반면 다량의 흡착된 가스들이 탈착 하는데 더 많은 시간이 소요되었기 때문이다.

A numerical study on lifted flame structure in impinging jet geometry with syngas composition ratio was investigated. The numerical calculations including chemical kinetic analysis were conducted using SPIN application of the CHEMKIN Package with Davis-Mechanism. The flame temperature and velocity profiles were calculated at the steady state for one-dimensional stagnation flow geometry. Syngas mixture compositions were adjusted such as $H_2:CO=10:90(10P)$, 20 : 80 (20P), 30 : 70 (30P), 40 : 60 (40P), 50 : 50 (50P). As composition ratios are changed from 10P to 50P, the axial velocity and flame temperature increase because the contents of hydrogen that have faster burning velocity increase. This phenomenon is due to increase in good reactive radicals such as H, OH radical. As a result of active reactivity, the burning velocity is more faster and this is confirmed by numerical methods. Consequently, combustion reaction zone was moved to burner nozzle.

In this study, the syngas producing facility that consists of pulverized coal feeding/gasification and hot gas clean-up system was tested for Indonesian subbituminous coal. And the DME conversion facilities have been developed and tested for converting syngas to DME by reactions with catalysts. So, the entrained-bed slagging type pi lot scale coal gasifier was operated normally in the temperature range of $1,400{\sim}1,450^{\circ}C,\;7{\sim}8kg/cm^2$ pressure. And Roto middle coal produced syngas that has a composition of $36{\sim}38%$ CO, $14{\sim}16%\;H_2,\;and\;5{\sim}8%\;CO_2$. Particulates in syngas were 99.8% removed by metal filters. $H_2S$ composition in syngas was also desulfurized by the Fe chelate system to yield less than 0.1 ppm level. When the clean syngas $70{\sim}100 Nm^3/h$ was provided to DME conversion rector, normally operated in the temperature range of $230{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ and $60kg/cm^2$ pressure, 4.5% DME was yielded.

Highly active and stable nano-sized Ni catalysts supported on MgO-$Al_2O_3$ calcined from hydrotalcite-like materials have been successfully developed with a strong metal to support interaction (SMSI) to enhance the coke resistance in combined $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ reforming of $CH_4$ (CSCRM) for syngas ($H_2$/CO=2) production. The change of the surface area and NiO crystallite size with varying the pre-calcination temperature of support and Mgo content was investigated in relation to the coke resistance. As increasing the pre-calcination temperature, the surface area decreases and the metal to support interaction becomes weak. As a consequence, the coke deposition was more severe on catalysts pre-calcined at high temperature. It was concluded that highly dispersed Ni metal in the surface of Ni/MgO-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst (MgO=30 wt%) pre-calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ had a strong metal to support interaction (SMSI) resulting in an increase of coke resistance and high activity.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal condition of the syngas production by reforming of propane using Gliding arc plasma reformer. The gliding arc plasma reformer in 3 phases has been newly designed and developed with a quick starting and fast response time. It can be applicable to the various types of fuels (Hydrocarbons $C_xH_y$), and it has a high conversion rate of fuels and high production of hydrogen. The parametric screening studies were carried out according to the changes of a steam feed amount i.e., steam/carbon ratio, total gas flow rate and input electric power. The optimum operating conditions were S/C ratio 2.8, total gas flow rate of 14 L/min and input electric power of 2.4 kW. The result of optimum operating conditions showed the 55 % $H_2$, 14 % CO, 15 % $CO_2$, 10 % $C_3H_8$ and 4 % $CH_4$. Also, $C_3H_8$ conversion, $H_2$ yield and $H_2$ selectivity were 90 %, 42 %, 15 %, respectively. The energy efficiency and specific energy requirements were 37 % and 334 kJ/mol respectively.

In this study, we used a commercial simulator to investigate the gasification characteristics of Roto coal in the partitioned fluidized-bed gasifier, which consists of 4 parts such as coal pyrolysis, char gasification, tar/oil gasification and char combustion. The heating medium was exchanged between the combustion part and the gasification part in order to supply the energy needed for pyrolysis and gasification. The correlation model from experimental data in relation to the reaction temperatures, the reaction gases and the coal feed rates was derived for the coal pyrolysis. The equilibrium model was used for the gasification and the combustion model for the char combustion. In order to compare the reaction behavior of the partitioned fluidized-bed gasifier, the single-bed gasifier was also simulated. The cold gas efficiency of both partitioned fluidized-bed gasifier and single-bed gasifier was almost the same. The $H_2$ and $CH_4$ contents of the syngas in the partitioned fluidized-bed gasifier slightly increased and the CO and $CO_2$ contents slightly decreased, compared with the singlebed gasifier. In order to verify the model, ten cases of the single-bed gasification experiment have been simulated. The contents of CO, $CO_2$, $CH_4$ in the syngas from the simulation corresponded with the experimental data while those of $H_2$ was slightly higher than experimental data, but the tendency of $H_2$ content in the syngas was similar to the experiments. In the coal conversion, the simulation results were higher than the experiments since equilibrium model was used for the gasification so that the residence time and contact time in the model is different from the experiments.

석탄가스화 기술은 고온, 고압 조건에서 석탄과 산소의 불완전연소 및 가스화 반응을 통해 일산화탄소(CO)와 수소($H_2$)가 주성분인 합성가스를 제조하여 이용하는 현실적인 에너지원의 확보를 위한 방법인 동시에 이산화탄소를 저감할 수 있는 기술이다. 석탄가스화기 공급되는 석탄은 산소와의 부분 산화, 수증기 및 $CO_2$와의 반응에 의하여 합성가스로 전환되는데, 일반적으로 슬래깅 방식 석탄가스화기의 정상운전 중에 가스화기 내부 온도는 $1,400{\sim}1,600^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온이며, 운전압력은 20~60 기압으로 매우 고압 상태에서 운전이 이루어지는데, 공급되는 석탄 시료의 성분들 중 가연성 물질의 99% 이상이 합성가스로 전환되는 반면, 회분에 해당되는 무기물의 대부분은 용융 슬랙 형태로 가스화기의 벽을 타고 흘러내리다가 슬랙탭을 통해 하부의 냉각조로 떨어지면서 급냉이 이루어지게 된다. 그러므로, 석탄가스화기 정상운전중 슬랙탭 주변의 온도를 고온으로 유지함으로써 용융슬랙의 고형화를 방지하는 것은 석탄가스화기의 안정적인 연속운전을 위하여 중요한 기술 중의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 저급탄 가스화를 위한 1 톤/일급 고온, 고압 습식 석탄가스화기의 정상운전중 슬랙탭 부근에서 용융슬랙의 고형화를 방지하기 위한 슬랙탭 버너시스템의 설계를 진행하였으며, 안정적인 운전조건 도출을 위하여 보조연료(CNG)와 산소의 공급비율에 따른 화염특성 시험을 진행하였다.
