Oxy-gasification or oxygen-blown gasification, enables a clean and efficient use of coal and opens a promising way to CO2 capture. The coal gasification process of a slurry feed type, entrained-flow coal gasifier was numerically predicted in this paper. The purposes of this study are to develop an evaluation technique for design and performance optimization of coal gasifiers using a numerical simulation technique, and to confirm the validity of the model. By dividing the complicated coal gasification process into several simplified stages such as slurry evaporation, coal devolatilization, mixture fraction model and two-phase reactions coupled with turbulent flow and two-phase heat transfer, a comprehensive numerical model was constructed to simulate the coal gasification process. The influence of turbulence on the gas properties was taken into account by the PDF (Probability Density Function) model. A numerical simulation with the coal gasification model is performed on the Conoco-Philips type gasifier for IGCC plant. Gas temperature distribution and product gas composition are also presented. Numerical computations were performed to assess the effect of variation in oxygen to coal ratio and steam to coal ratio on reactive flow field. The concentration of major products, CO and H2 were calculated with varying oxygen to coal ratio (0.2-1.5) and steam to coal ratio(0.3-0.7). To verify the validity of predictions, predicted values of CO and H2 concentrations at the exit of the gasifier were compared with previous work of the same geometry and operating points. Predictions showed that the CO and H2 concentration increased gradually to its maximum value with increasing oxygen-coal and hydrogen-coal ratio and decreased. When the oxygen-coal ratio was between 0.8 and 1.2, and the steam-coal ratio was between 0.4 and 0.5, high values of CO and H2 were obtained. This study also deals with the comparison of CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) and STATNJAN results which consider the objective gasifier as chemical equilibrium to know the effect of flow on objective gasifier compared to equilibrium. This study makes objective gasifier divided into a few ranges to study the evolution of the gasification locally. By this method, we can find that there are characteristics in the each scope divided.

국내에서는 연간 약 30만 톤 내외의 굴패각이 발생되고 있어, 이를 대규모로 활용할 수 있는 적절한 방안이 요구되고 있다. $CaCO_3$가 주성분인 굴패각을 탈황재료로 사용하는 연구들이 많이 진행되어 왔으나, 지금까지는 주로 건식탈황을 대상으로 한 것이었다. 본 연구에서는 굴패각을 소성하여 습식탈황재료로 활용하는 가능성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 습식배연탈황공정의 하나인 spray type 방식의 모사탈황장치를 제작하여 소성 굴패각의 탈황특성을 석회석과 비교하였다. 연구결과, 소성 굴패각은 석회석이나 소성하지 않은 굴패각에 비하여 우수한 $SO_2$ 흡수능을 보였다. 이는 굴패각이 소성 및 수화반응을 통해 상대적으로 반응성이 높은 형태($Ca(OH)_2$)로 전환되었기 때문이다. 이로 인하여 반응잔류물 중에 석고($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$)의 함량이 다른 경우에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 연속탈황실험에서는 소성 굴패각이 석회석에 비하여 큰 pH 변동폭을 보였으며, 석회석과 소성 굴패각을 혼합하여 수행된 탈황실험에서도 소성 굴패각의 혼합비율이 증가됨에 따라 pH변동폭이 커지는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 현상은 소성 굴패각의 $SO_2$ 흡수 반응성이 큰 것을 잘 보여주는 것이다. 본 연구결과는 소성 굴패각을 습식탈황에 이용할 경우 탈황효율을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음도 보여준다.
