미분탄 연소시 발생하는 질소산화물(NOx)은 석탄의 형태 및 등급에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 석탄에 함유되어 있는 질소 성분은 준역청탄인 경우 촤보다 휘발분에 많이 분포되어 있으며, 역청탄인 경우 촤에 많이 분포되어 있음을 확인하였다. 석탄에 함유되어 있는 질소의 분포에 따라 연속과정에 의해 최대로 발생할수 있는 질소산화물의 양과 질소산화물로 전환되는 정도를 예측할 수 있었다. NOx 방출은 석탄중에 함유되어 있는 질소성분의 양에 영향을 받으며, 고온 노출 시 방출되는 휘발성분의 양의 증가 그리고 공기비를 감소함으로서 질소산화물의 저감율을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 특히 질소산화물의 환원은 연료가 풍부한 조건에서 연소초기 고온으로 연소하는 경우 효과적이었다. 또한 2단 연소에 의한 방법으로 1단에서는 저공기비로 유지하고 2단에서 추가적인 공기를 공급함으로서 최종 공기비는 1.2인 조건에서 효과적으로 NOx를 저감할 수 있었다.

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.

본 연구에서는 자력 및 정전기 선별법에 의한 발전용 석탄의 연소전 탈황탈회 가능성 조사를 미국 PETC와 공동으로 수행하였다. 정전기 선별법에 의한 석탄의 탈황실험은 국내무연탄 및 미국 유연탄 시료를 대상으로 수행하였으며, 본 선별법은 석탄으로부터 유황을 함유하는 광물은 물론 회분을 제거하는데 매우 효율적임을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 고강도 자력선별기를 이용하여 국내무연탄에 대한 건식자력선별 가능성을 검토하였다. 삼척 및 동원탄광 시료에 대한 입도별 2단계 선별실험을 수행하였으며, 본 실험 결과 동원탄광 시료가 삼척탄광 시료보다 회분제거가 용이하였으며 유황분의 경우는 두 시료 모두 40∼50% 제거가 가능하였다. 기초실험을 통하여 향후 발전용 석탄의 연소전 탈황탈회처리시스템 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하였다.

In thermal power generation companies, the recycling of refined ash (LOI < 6%) obtained from a PC-firing furnace is beneficial for the companies, e.g., it can be used for making lightweight aggregates. However, ash having a high LOI, which cannot be reused, is still buried in the ground. To obtain refined ash, the re-burning of high-LOI ash (LOI > 6%) in a PC-firing furnace can be an alternative. In this study, a numerical analysis was performed to demonstrate the effects of ash re-burning. An experimental constant value was decided by TGA (thermo-gravimetric analysis), and a DTF (drop-tube furnace) was used in the experiment for calculating the combustion of ash. On the basis of the trajectory of the moving particles of coal and ash, it was concluded that supplying ash near the burner, which is located high above the ground, is appropriate. On the basis of numerical results, it was concluded that an ash supply rate of 6 ton/h is suitable for combustion, without affecting the PC-firing boiler.

Fly ash produced in coal combustion is a fine-grained material consisting mostly of spherical, glassy, and porous particles. A physical, morphological, and chemical characteristic of fly ash has been analyzed. This study may contribute to the data base of domestic fly ash, the improvement of combustion efficiency, ash recycling and ash collection in the electrostatic precipitator. The physical property of fly ash is determined using a particle counter for the measurement of ash size distribution and gravimeter. Morphological characteristic of fly ash is performed using a scanning electron micrograph and an optical microscope. The chemical components of fly ash are determined using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). The distribution of fly ash size was ranged from 15 to 25 $\mu$m in mass median diameter. Exposure conditions of flue gas temperature and duration within the combustion zone of the boiler played an important role on the morphological properties of the fly ash such as shape, relative opacity, coloration, cenosphere and plerosphere. The spherical fly ash might be generated at the condition of complete combustion. The size of fly ash was found to be increased the with particle-particle interaction of agglomeration and coagulation. Fly ash consisted of $SiO_2\;Al_2O_3\;and\;Fe_2O_3$ with 85% and carbon with 3~10% of total mass.

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.

200MWe 순환유동층보일러인 A화력발전소는 정부정책에 의해 국내 무연탄만을 연료로 배정받아 운영되었다. 하지만 무연탄에 대한 민간수요 증가에 따른 정부의 정책변경에 따라 유 무연탄 혼탄을 2000년대 후반부터 시행하고 있다. 하지만 기동시 석탄 투입온도는 여전히 무연탄 전소시의 기준온도인 $600^{\circ}C$에 석탄을 투입하고 있는 실정이라 기동시간 지연의 한 원인으로 작용하고 있고 기동 중 소요되는 경유의 과다소비라는 고질적인 문제점을 안고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 A화력에서 사용되는 석탄에 대한 공업분석과 원소분석을 통하여 비교적 휘발분이 많고 반응성이 좋은 러시아산 유연탄(Suek) 연소에 따른 경유에서 석탄으로의 연료교체시 경제적인 시점을 예측하였다. 실험결과 러시아산 유연탄 (Suek) 연소시 투입가능온도는 연소전환율이 90%이상이 되는 연소최대온도($426^{\circ}C$)가 기술적, 경제적으로 가장 적합한 것으로 예상하였다.

Coal pyrolysis processes vary with the origin and rank of coal. It is difficult to generalize the characteristics of coal pyrolysis reaction because the process consists of numerous reactions including pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion. To find out the optimum process condition it is necessary to determine the condition fur each coal from the smatter scale experiment. In this study pressurized ($2kg_{f}/cm^{2}$) fluidized bed, low temperature ($735{\sim}831^{\circ}C$) gasification using Kideco coal was performed. The reaction condition and product gas composition were determined from the variables including steam flow rate, coal feed rate and air flow rate. Optimum reaction condition was determined from the concentrations of $H_{2}$, and CO in the product gas. The ratio of air/coal was 4.45 and that of steam/coal was 0.21 respectively. The concentrations of CO and $H_{2}$ decreased with the increase of $CO_{2}$. It is important to control the feed rates of coal and steam because the reaction temperature rapidly increased when the combustion reaction dominates over the gasification reaction. The concentrations of CO and $H_{2}$ were 18%, 17% respectively from the continuous operating condition.

Combustion reactivity and thermal behavior of two imported coals used as a pulverized fuel of commercially thermal power plant were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and large scale test furnace of 200 kg/hr. TGA results showed that combustion efficiency of high moisture coal has lower than reference coal due to the slow combustion completion rate although it has the low ignition temperature, and activation energies of high moisture coal with 79 kJ/mol for overall combustion was higher than reference coal of 53 kJ/mol. Test furnace results ascertained that flame of black band of high moisture coal during the combustion in boiler broke out compared to reference coal and then it becomes to unburned carbon due to the less reactivity and combustion rate. But, Blending combustion of high moisture coal with design coal of high sulfur are available because sulfur content of high moisture coal was too low to generate the low SOx content in flue gas from boiler during the combustion. The ash analysis results show that it was not expected to be associated with slagging and fouling in pulverized coal fired systems due to the low alkali metal content of $Na_2O$ and $K_2O$ compared to bituminous coal.
