Waste fuels, which originate from different sources, have unique combustion characteristics. The characteristics should be considered in applying FBC(fluidized bed combustor) technology to those fuels. The effects of fuel properties and operating conditions on FBC reactivity were investigated by means of carbon based parameter called mean carbon conversion time, rate of carbon conversion, fraction of carbon conversion and carbon recovery. And the basic physical and chemical mechanisms taking place in a fluidized bed were summarized. Major parameters in designing and operating FBC were evaluated in terms of the fuel properties and the combustion environment.

Hybrid rocket shows interesting characteristics of complicated mixing layers developed by interactions between turbulent oxidizer flow and mass flow from surface due to fuel vaporization. In this study, compressible LES with a ring structure attached at the entrance of the combustor are performed. According to one recent report, adding a ring structure in the middle of the combustor helps increasing regression rate. From the numerical results, it is seen that vortex structures near the wall becomes stronger due to the interaction with surface mass injection, and the local heat flux increases due to the vortices. This phenomenon is obviously related to the generation of dimple structures which are seen in the number of experiments. Also, the ring structure at the entrance induces strong vortex flow which enhances heat transfer to the wall surface and mixing between fuel and oxidizer as well as reaction efficiency.

연료전지는 전기화학반응을 이용한 발전 장치로서 기존 장치에 비하여 발전 효율이 높아 화석연료를 사용하면서 현재 당면 과제인 $CO_2$ 배출량 절감이 가능하고, 환경 보전성이 우수하여 미래의 전원으로 많은 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 특히 제3세대 연료전지라 불리는 고체산화물 연료전지(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell이하 SOFC)는 고가의 외부 개질 장치 없이도 연료가 갖는 화학에너지를 연소과정 없이, 공기와 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$와 같은 환원성 가스를 공급받아 $600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 전기화학적 반응을 통하여 직접 전기를 얻는 방식이며, 낮은 소음과 진동으로 인하여 온 사이트(On-site) 발전이 가능한 장점이 있는 연료전지이다. Decalcomanie는 전사용지에 Screen printing하여 건조 후 coating하는 방법으로 기존의 여러 coating 방법보다 다전지셀 제작이나 Buffer layer의 적용이 용이하고, 소재의 크기나 두께조절이 간편하며, 구성층의 표면조도나 굴곡에 대응이 용이한 방법이다. 새로운 Decalcomanie를 사용하여 평관형 다전지식 SOFC Cell 제작 및 각 Buffer layer에 적용, Screen printing법과 동일한 Cell 제조 후 MPD와 Impedance 분석을 통하여 Support 위에 전사지를 이용, 적층한 Cell의 전기화학적 특성에 관하여 분석하였다.

The feasibility of applications of the char obtained from a gasification process of municipal-waste refuse derived fuel (RDF) as an auxiliary fuel was evaluated by combustion experiments. The higher heating value of the RDF char was 3000~4000 kcal/kg and its chlorine content was below the standard requirement demonstrating its potential as an auxiliary fuel. In the combustion exhaust gas, the maximum $NO_x$ and $SO_2$ concentrations were 240 ppm and 223 ppm, respectively. If an aftertreatment is applied, it is possible to control their concentrations low enough to meet the air pollutant emission standard. The HCl concentration was relatively high indicating that a care should be taken for HCl emission from the combustion of RDF. Based on the temperature distribution within the reactor, the concentration change of $O_2$ and $CO_2$, and the amount and the loss on ignition of solid residue, it was inferred that the combustion reaction was the most reliable when the excess air ratio of 1.3 was used.

The intrinsic $CO_2$ separation and hydrogen production system is a novel concept using oxidation and reduction reactions of oxygen carrier for both $CO_2$ capture and high purity hydrogen production. The process consists of a fuel reactor (FR), a steam reactor (SR) and an air reactor (AR). The natural gas ($CH_4$) is oxidized to $CO_2$ and steam by the oxygen carrier in FR, whereas the steam is reduced to hydrogen by oxidation of the reduced oxygen carrier in SR. The oxygen carrier is fully oxidized by air in AR. In the present study, the chemical looping moving bed reactor having 200 L/h hydrogen production capacity is designed and the hydrodynamic properties were determined. Compared with other reactors, two moving bed reactors (FR, SR) were used to obtain high conversion and selectivity of the oxygen carrier. The desirable solid circulation rates are calculated to be in the range of $20{\sim}100kg/m^2s$ from the conceptual design. The solid circulation rate can be controlled by aeration in a loop-seal. To maintain the gas velocity in the moving beds (FR, SR) at the minimum fluidization velocity is found to be suitable for the stable operation. The solid holdup in moving beds decrease with increasing gas velocity and solid circulation rate.

석탄 합성가스 중에는 $H_2S$, HCl, $NH_3$와 같은 불순물이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 가스들은 오염가스 배출과 관련한 환경기준 준수와 터빈과 같은 설비의 보호를 위해 제거되어야 한다. 석탄 합성가스 중 HCl 농도는 탄종에 따라 다르기는 하지만 많게는 1000 ppmv 수준까지 존재한다. 합성가스를 이용하여 발전을 하는 경우 가스터빈 보호를 위해 HCl은 <3 ppmv 이하로 정제되어야 하고, 합성가스를 연료전지에 사용하고자 하는 경우에는 HCl을 <0.5 ppmv 수준까지, 화학원료로 사용하고자 하는 경우에는 <10 ppbv 수준까지 정제하여야 한다. 또한 HCl은 고온 탈황공정에 사용되는 흡수제의 활성에도 장기적으로 부정적인 영향을 주기 때문에 고온에서 HCl을 정제할 수 있는 흡수제가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리금속을 활성물질로 사용하여 분무건조법으로 제조한 HCl 흡수제에 대해 물성 및 HCl과의 반응성을 살펴보았다. $300-500^{\circ}C$ 영역에서 K-계 및 Na-계 흡수제에 대해 고정층반응기에서 HCl 가스를 함유한 모사 합성가스를 이용하여 상압 조건에서 Cl 흡수능을 측정한 결과 15wt% 이상의 흡수능을 나타내었으며 반응온도가 높을수록 흡수능이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. XRD 분석을 통하여 Cl은 K 및 Na와 반응하여 KCl과 NaCl을 형성하면서 흡수됨을 알 수 있었다. 20 bar 조건에서 실험한 결과에서도 동일한 경향의 반응성을 나타내었으며 반응온도가 낮을수록 흡수능은 감소하지만 Cl을 더 낮은 농도로 정제할 수 있었다. 본 실험에 사용된 Na 및 K계 흡수제는 모두 연소 후 배가스 중 $CO_2$를 제거하기 위한 흡수제로 사용되는 고체 흡수제이다. 석탄화력발전소 배가스에 연계되어 $CO_2$ 회수실험에 사용되었던 사용 후 $CO_2$ 흡수제에 대해 HCl 흡수 실험을 수행한 결과에서도 우수한 HCl 제거 성능을 보여 주었다. 이로부터, 폐 $CO_2$ 흡수제의 HCl 흡수제로서의 활용가능성을 확인 하였다.

Various solar hybrid energy conversion processes, which have both the advantages of renewable energy sources and fossil energy sources, have been developed in the world because stable and predictable energy supplies, such as electricity and natural gas, are necessary for modern societies. In particular, a solar hybrid energy conversion process based on a dual fluidized bed process concept has been expected as the promising solution for sustainable energy supply via thermochemical conversions, such as pyrolysis, combustion, gasification, and so on, because solar thermal energy could be captured and stored in fluidized bed materials. Therefore, the attrition and heat transfer characteristics of silicon carbide and alumina particles used for fluidized bed materials for the solar hybrid energy conversion process were studied in an ASTM D5757 reactor and a bubbling fluidized bed reactor with 0.14m diameter and 2m height. These characteristics of novel fluidized bed materials were compared with those of sand particles which have widely been used as a fluidized bed material in various commercial fluidized bed reactors. The attrition resistances of silicon carbide and alumina particles were higher than those of sand particles while the average values of heat transfer coefficient in the bubbling fluidized bed reactor were in the range of 125 ~ 152 W m^-2K^-1.
