The content distributions of some rare metals and rare earthe metals in coal ash (fly ash, bottom ash and pond ash) and leachate from coal-fired power plants were investigated. In case of Yttrium (Y) and Neodymium (Nd) which were strategic critical elements, their contents were ranged from about 23 ~ 75 mg/kg and it is shown they are worth to be developed for the recovery and separation method. Considering the annual amount of fly ash and bottom ash and pond ash, coal-fired power plants have great value of about 1,670 billion KRW and it is regards they are worthy as urban mines.

To replace Japanese coal ash used in the domestic cement production and to recycle large quantities of domestic pond ash, it is essential to develop the technologies for quality control of cement by using the domestic pond ash. Thus, in this study, the feasibility of using the pond ash as a raw material for cement was investigated through chemical composition and microstructure analysis. As a result, most of the domestic pond ash contained slightly more Fe2O3, chloride, and unburned carbon contents than Japanese coal ash. In particular, the contents of chloride were considerably low in the pond ash that was transferred to fresh water or collected from surface of landfill area. However, since circulating fluidized bed boiler coal ash had relatively high SO3 contents causing durability problems of cement, it was not suitable for use as a raw material for cement. Thus, to replace Japanese coal ash with the domestic pond ash, it is necessary to introduce the adjustment of mixture proportion of cement raw materials and the process of removing chloride in the pond ash.

As enormous construction projects of land development are carried out around Korea, useful construction materials are needed to perform the construction projects. However, there are no more enough of fill and reclamation materials in our country. That is why the coal ash is expected to be utilized as an alternative material. Since the coal ash has the characteristics of a pozzolan and a selfhardening material, it is adjudged that coal ash has a great possibility to be used as a fill and reclamation material. In this study, grain size analysis, Atterberg limit test, and specific gravity test were performed to examine the physical characteristics of the coal ash about a self-hardening material before utilizing the coal ash in the construction. Compaction test, unconfined compression test, direct shear test, and flexible wall permeability test were conducted to investigate the engineering characteristics according to mixture ratios of fly ash and bottom ash. As a result of the tests, it was confirmed that the mixing ratio 1:1 of fly ash and bottom ash is the most effective to use as a fill and reclamation material. If the mixture of coal ash is used as a backfill material with light weight around structure, it is expected to play a significant role in reducing earth pressure on the back of the structure. As the age of the mixture of coal ash goes by, it intends to decrease the coefficient of permeability. As described above, the coal ash should be considered as an alternative material of fill and reclamation materials since the result of the tests indicates that the coal ash is suitable to a useful material on the construction design.

일반적으로 내화재의 내침식성은 크롬 함량이 증가함에 따라 향상되는 특성을 가지는데, 본 연구에서는 이러한 크롬 내화재의 물성을 보다 향상시키기 위하여 인산염 화합물인 $AlPO_4$를 첨가하는 실험을 진행하였으며, 이러한 실험 결과 선정된 $AlPO_4$ 1% 첨가 크롬 내화재를 대상으로 캐스타블 및 브릭 형태로 각각 제작하였을 때 내침식 특성에 대해 회전 침식 시험장치를 이용한 실험을 실시하였는데, 실험 결과 캐스타블에 비해 브릭 내화재가 내침식성이 우수하지만 일부 spalling이 발생하는 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고, 가스화기로의 석탄 공급 방식에 따라 내화재 벽면에서 발생하는 석탄입자에 의한 내화재 침식 정도에 대한 전산해석을 수행한 결과 top feeding에 비해 side feeding 방식이 내화재 전면에 걸쳐 침식 현상이 크게 발생할 것으로 예측되어 보다 크롬 함량이 많은 내화재를 선정해야 할 것으로 평가되었다.

In this research, the stabilization characteristics of upgraded coal using palm oil residues were investigated. The Eco coal, which is the Indonesian low-rank coal, was used as a raw material. The low-rank coal was mixed with palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), and then dried in a nitrogen atmosphere at $107^{\circ}C$. The trend of spontaneous combustion of upgraded coal was studied by measuring of crossing-point temperature (CPT), low temperature oxidation and moisture readsorption. The results of the CPT measuring and low temperature oxidation showed that the propensity of spontaneous combustion of the upgraded coal was improved compared to the dried coal. The moisture readsorption characteristics of the upgraded coal was also improved. The upgraded coal was stabilized through the surface coating with PFAD, and stability of upgraded coal was proportional to the content of PFAD.

Chemical and mineralogical properties of coal ash samples from the nine thermal power plants of Korea were investigated to acquire basic data for estimating the potential of rare metal recovery. Chemical compositions of coal ash were consistent with those of average shale and foreign coal ashes. However, there were small differences between the metal contents of domestic anthracitic and imported bituminous coal ashes. Unburned coal particles were much abundant in the ash of domestic anthracitic coal. Chalcophile elements were relatively enriched in the fly ash compared to bottom ash. Silicate glass was the major component of coal ash with minor minerals such as quartz, illite (muscovite), mullite, magnetite, lime, and anhydrite. Al and Si were the major components of the glass with varying contents of Ca, Fe, K, and Mg. Glass occurred in a form of porous sphere and irregular pumace-like grain often fused with iron oxide spheres or other glass grains. Iron oxide spheres were fine intergrowth of fast-grown iron oxide crystals in the matrix of silicate glass. Chemical, microstructural, and mineralogical properties would guide successful rare metal recovery from coal ash.

This study aimed to develop flowable backfill material using oyster shell, coal ash, and surplus soil. The high temperature (> $800^{\circ}C$) reaction was required to convert $CaCO_3$ to CaO. The solid specimens formed by pozzlanic reaction between CaO and coal ash showed low unconfined compressive strength. The effect of kaolin and blast furnace slag was also examined. It was found that CaO and coal ash could not be utilized due to high cost and low performance. The use of oyster shell without calcination ($CaCO_3$) was evaluated. The specimens composing of oyster shell and cement showed the higher unconfined compressive strength than that composing of coal ash and cement. However, use of oyster shell is limited in mortar due to the presence of salt. Addition of soil into oyster shell-coal ash-cement mixture satisfied the specification of flowable backfill material by optimizing their ratio.

방사성폐기물의 처분시에는 원자력발전소와 유사한 안전개념들 도입하여 다중방벽을 구성하는 것이 일반적이다. 다중방벽중에서 뒷채움재는 처분안전성 망상의 주도적 역할을 하는 요소로서 지하수 침투방지, 방사성핵종 이동저지능의 기능을 가져야 한다 석탄회를 뒷채움재의 부재료로서 사용하기 위해서는 방사성폐기물처분장 설계에 적용할 때 안전성과 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있어야 한다. 본 인구에서는 석탄회의 핵종에 대한 흡착능의 관점에서 석탄회의 이용가능성들 평가하였다. 또한 Column 실험을 통하여 표면확산과 공극확산을 비교, 분석함으로써 석탄회를 통과하는 방사성핵종의 이동기구를 검토하였다.
