Fly ash generated from (he pulverized coal power plant have caused the serious ocean pollution due to the disposal in the ash pond, the life reduction of a power plant and the waste of re-utilizable resource The research to reuse the unburned carbon and mineral composing of the ash has been progressed. In this study. the physical and chemical characteristics of high grade ash and unburned carbon particles obtained from countercurrent column flotation are investigated. The cleaned ash of the less 0,5% loss on Ignition(LOI) in carbon content is a spherical sphere and 39.8${\mu}m$ in size of MMD(Mass Median Diameter). 2.22 $m^2/g$ of specific area. The morphology of high LOI carbon particles is a amorphousness, 76.6 ${\mu}m$ of particle size and 15.2 $m^2/g$ of specific The high grade cleaned ash and the high LOI ash have some difference in the light of physical. chemical and morphological characteristics

Fly ash is a material used as a concrete admixture. When fly ash is used for concrete manufacturing, it is expected to improve the performance such as reduction of cement usage and increase of chemical resistance. However, fly ash have some problems such as unburned carbon content and amorphous film on the surface of fly ash particles. When concrete is manufactured using fly ash containing a large amount of unburned carbon, there is a problem that the slump is lowered due to adsorption of AE agent. In addition, the amorphous film on the surface of the particles prevents the reactive substances from leaching out of the fly ash. Therefore, a method of surface treatment of fly ash using plasma has been studied to remove such unburned carbon and amorphous films. However, plasma has the problem that $O_3$ is generated when $O_2$ is used as an active gas. $O_3$ is a harmful substance and adversely affects the health of the experimenter. In this study, the surface of fly ash was treatment by arc discharge. Experimental results show that the unburned carbon is removed when the surface of fly ash is treatment by arc discharge and the amorphous film was broken and the reactivity was improved. Therefore, it is considered that arc discharge can treatment the surface of fly ash and improve the quality of fly ash.

Unburned Carbon(UBC) and NOx emissions from High-moisture coal and Dried coal were investigated in Drop Tube Furnace(DTF). When the same amount of the High-moisture coal and Dried coal were oxidized in DTF, the results show that UBC and NOx emissions of Dried coal case is higher than High-moisture coal case. As the moisture in coal decreases from 40% to 10%, the average gas temperature increases but the moisture concentration in DTF decreases. As the wall temperature increases from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1500^{\circ}C$, the UBC decreases and NOx emissions increases. Especially, the difference for UBC between High-moisture coal and Dried coal decreases with increasing wall temperature.

일반적으로 플라이애쉬는 콘크리트의 여러 가지 물성을 크게 개선시키는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 플라이애쉬 자체의 함유 성분에 따라서는 이러한 개선 효과가 감소하는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는, 플라이애쉬에 함유된 미연탄소가 공기연행 콘크리트의 물성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고, 품질관리면에서 사용상의 주의점을 지적한다.

The objective of the present work is to examine the cooling characteristics of water droplet on the unburned surface. The hot solid surface material used brass, carbon steel and copper at temperature ranging from 70 to $116^{\circ}$. the droplet size is from 2.4 mm to 3.0 mm. The CCD camera was used to record the evaporation histories of the droplets. and the evaporation time of the droplet on the hot solid surface could be determined by using frame-by-frame analysis of the video records. It is found that during the droplet evaporation process for copper the temperature remains nearly constant, whereas for carbon steel the temperature continuously decreases about $1^{\circ}$. During the droplet evaporation process on the hot solid surface, regardless of solid materials, nondimensional droplet volume decreases nondimensional evaporation time increases.

The mixed body of clay and flyash containing unburnt carbon was examined at various sintering conditions in order to recycle flyash as environment-affinitive construction materials. Experimental results can be summarized as follows : when large aggregate of 2.54 cm dia. was sintered at a heating rate of $20^{\circ}C$/min, heterogeneous phase with bulgings, inner pores, and cracks were observed at the sintering temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$. Accordingly, heating patterns for the complete removal of the heterogeneous phase were proposed as countermeasures. The compressive strength of finally obtained aggregate was 670~870kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, which is over two and a half times stronger than the minimum requirement of 200kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Most of high carbon fly ashes (HCFA) are discarded in landfills with high costs due to low recycling rate. This study aims to explore the geotechnical behaviors of HCFA mixtures reinforced with fiber and sand. A series of compaction test, unconfined compressive strength test and modified 1D consolidation test with bender element were performed. Specimens were prepared at their optimal moisture contents based on the results of compaction tests. The results of this study demonstrate that the inclusion of fibers to the matrix of HCFA increases unconfined compressive strength (UCS), strain at UCS, and maximum shear modulus ($G_{max}$) at a given void ratio. Reinforcement with sand increases UCS of HCFA; while the strain at UCS is irrelevant with sand fractions. Sand particles may disrupt the direct contacts between HCFA particles at low sand content, resulting in a decrease in $G_{max}$. However, it can be expected that the mixtures with sand content larger than 20% are in dense state; thus, $G_{max}$ of HCFA reinforced with sand shows greater value than that of unreinforced HCFA compacted with the same energy. Regardless of types of reinforcement, the compression index ($C_c$) of both fiber and sand reinforced HCFA is mainly determined by initial void ratio.

Four coal sources that had different ash contents were evaluated in a drop tube furnace (DTF). Combustion experiments were conducted by using several sources with different particle sizes and excess air ratios under air-staging conditions to determine the optimized combustion conditions of high-ash coal, with an emphasis on the combustion efficiency and NOx emissions. The results show that the higher ash content results in a large amount of carbon remaining unburned, and that this effect is dominant when the largest particle size is used. Furthermore, the ash content of coal does affect the Char-NOx concentration, which decreases with the particle size. The results of this study suggest that an air-staged system can be useful to reduce the NOx emissions of high-ash coal and that control of the air stoichiometric ratio of the primary combustion zone (SR1) is effective for reducing NOx emissions, especially by considering unburned carbon contents.

The artificial aggregates (AAs) were manufactured from the parent batch powders consisting of bottom ash containing excess unburned carbon and dredged soil, 7 : 3 weight ratio by direct sintering method and those physical properties were evaluated. Especially, the effects of waste glass or frit (NWG) which was made by addition of 5 wt% $Na_2O$ to the waste glass upon the bloating phenomenon of AAs were analyzed. The AAs manufactured from the parent batch powders showed a lower specific gravity than that of specimens containing waste glass or NWG due to excess u$Na_2O$nburned carbon which usually obstructs a sintering process. But, the waste glass added on parent batch powders promoted the sintering and densification thus increased the specific gravity of AAs. Also the specific gravity of AAs added with 5 wt% NWG, was lowered compared to that of AAs added with as-received waste glass. This is because of bloating of shell which captures gases owing to the lowered viscosity of liquid formed at the specimen surface caused by $Na_2O$ addition. In conclusion, the AAs sintered at above $1100^{\circ}C$ in this study showed characters of lightweight aggregate of specific gravity 1.15~1.34 and water absorption 11~19 %, and the bloating phenomenon of AAs was occurred at the shell rather black core part.
