Char oxidation experiments were performed with a sub-bituminous roto-middle coal in the Drop Tube Furnace (DTF) at atmospheric pressure condition. While temperatures varied between 900, 1100, 1400 $^{\circ}C$, particle size, mass, particle temperature, and CO/$CO_2$ concentration were obtained to be used for kinetic analysis of the char oxidation. This study addresses several different methods to analyze the char consumption rate, which are classified as energy balance method, ash-traced mass method, flue-gas based method, and particle size based method. The char consumption rate obtained with such methods was compared with the results of Monson et al.$^{(24)}$ While there are some differences between them because of differences in experimental apparatus and parameters to be measured, the kinetic results seems to be reasonable enough to be incorporated in a numerical modeling of coal combustion.

알카리금속염 (K$_2$CO$_3$, $K_2$SO$_4$). 알카리 토금속염 (Ba(NO$_3$)$_2$), 철족금속염(Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$, FeSO$_4$) 으로 이루어진 여러가지 혼합물들이 반응온도 700~85$0^{\circ}C$ 하의 촤-수증기 가스화반응에서 나타내는 촉매활성을 열천칭 반응기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 비촉매 가스화반응에서 초기반응성은 수증기 분압에 비례하였다. 촉매 가스화반응에서 단일염 촉매의 경우 $K_2$CO$_3$ 가 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었으며, 다른 염들은 낮은 활성을 보였다. 혼합염의 경우 $K_2$SO$_4$에 철족염을 부가함에 따라 반응속도가 향상되었으며, $K_2$SO$_4$+Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$가 가장 큰 촉매활성을 나타내었다. $K_2$SO$_4$와 Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$ 의 촉매 활성은 담지량에 따라 증가하며, 석탄의 등급에 따라 감소하였다. $K_2$SO$_4$와 Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$의 혼합비는 같은 몰비로 혼합하였을때 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다.

In this study, char was produced via pyrolysis of sewage sludge and the effects of reaction conditions(temperature, heating rate, reaction time) on characteristics of char were investigated. As temperature increased from $300^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$, the surface area of sludge char increased in general but decreased at $700^{\circ}C$ temporarily. The effect of heating rate on specific surface area and pore volume of char was not large. Meanwhile, specific surface area and pore volume increased with reaction time but average pore diameter decreased.

This study was performed using a laminar flow reactor that could replicate the combustion environment of pulverized coal in a blast furnace. Since a pulverized coal injection system was developed for iron making, the combustion characteristics of pulverized coal have been important in the iron and steel industry. The flame structure, particle temperature, and exhaust gas were investigated for different types of coal. The results of this study demonstrated that the combustion characteristics of coal are influenced by several properties of individual coals. In particular, the CO emission and volatile matter content of individual coals were found to have a strong influence on their combustion characteristics. Thus, this study found the properties of the coals to be significant and focused on the particle temperature and CO and $CO_2$ emissions.

Waste energy conversion to SRF (Solid Refuse Fuel) has the effects not alternative fossil fuel usage but also the reduction of greenhouse gas. But the direct burning of the SRF including a plastic waste generates air pollution problem like soot, dioxin, etc. so that an application of pyrolysis and gasification treatment should be needed. The purpose of this study is to supply a basic thermal data of the pyrolysis gasification characteristics in the plastic-rich SRF which are needed for developing the novel pyrolyser or gasifier. To do so, a bench-scale test rig was newly engineered, and then experiments were achieved for the production characteristics of gas, tar, and char. While SRF sample, gasification air ratio, holding time changed as 2 g, 0.691, 32 min respectively, the $H_2$ 1.36%, $CH_4$ 2.18%, CO 1.88%, $Cl_2$ 15.9 ppm, HCl 6.4 ppm were composed. Also light tar benzene $4.03g/m^3$, naphthalene $0.39g/m^3$, anthracene $0.11g/m^3$, pyrene $0.06g/m^3$, gravimetric tar $18g/m^3$, and char 0.29 g was formed.

A pressurized wire mesh heating reactor (PWMR) can provide high pressure and temperature experimental conditions up to 50 atm and 1750 K, respectively. This equipment was developed to evaluate the intrinsic reaction kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification. A PWMR utilizes a platinum (Pt) wire mesh resistance to generate heat with a direct current (DC) electricity supply. This DC power supply can then be controlled by computer software to reach the exact expected terminal temperature and heating period. In this study, BERAU (sub-bituminous Indonesian coal) was pulverized then converted into char with a particle size of $90-150{\mu}m$. This was used in experiments with various pressures (1-40 atm) and temperatures (1373-1673 K) under atmospheric conditions. The internal and external effectiveness factor was analyzed to determine the effects of high pressure. The intrinsic reaction kinetics of BERAU char was obtained using $n^{th}$ order reaction rate equations. The value was determined to be 203.8kJ/mol.

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.

하수슬러지로부터 재활용 가스 에너지를 얻을 수 있다. 슬러지 가스화의 공정 개발을 위해서는 초기에 휘발분이 방출되는 열분해 단계의 거동이 매우 중요하다. 열분해 생성물(가스, 타르, 촤 등)의 수율은 열분해 조건(가열속도, 체류시간, 온도, 압력, 가스분위기)뿐만 아니라 연료입자의 물리적 구조에 따라 좌우된다. 석탄의 경우에는 열분해과정에서 휘발분의 수율에 대한 상관식들이 많이 제시되었다.(중략)

Commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes traditionally rely on the computational efficiency of the simplified single-film apparent char kinetic model to predict char particle temperatures and char conversion rates in pulverized coal boilers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the single-film apparent kinetic model and to suggest the importance of proper use of this model. For this, a parametric study was conducted with a consideration of main parameters such as Stefan flow, product species, particle evolution, and kinetic parameters.
