The economic feasibility of a commercial indirect liquefaction process with the co-gasification process of petroleum coke which has been recognized as hazardous waste because of high sulfur content and bituminous coal and sub-bituminous coal mixtures was assessed. The 2,000 ton/day scale indirect liquefaction process including co-gasification, clean up, Fischer-Tropsch conversion and so on was assumed and used to analyze economical efficiencies with various conditions. Financial data from previous studies were modified and used and economical sensitivities with various mixture ratios were evaluated in this study. As a result, economic values of petroleum coke were superior than those of coals because of increasing sulfur sale. Also, mixtures with petroleum coke and bituminous coal was more favorable that those with petroleum coke and sub-bituminous coal due to lower moisture content. In case of sub-bituminous coal, the mixture ratio with petroleum coke had to be over 40wt% for the IRR of mixture to surpass 10%.

In this study, the carbon block was prepared using the fluorinated coke and binder pitch by molding compression to increase its density. After fluorination, it is confirmed that the fluorine element on the coke surface was introduced up to 24.14 at% using XPS analysis. The wettability between the fluorinated coke and binder pitch was evaluated according to the reaction temperature. From the result of contact-angle tests, it can be found that the wettability was improved up to 64.7% as more fluorine atoms were introduced on the surface of cokes. Also, the density of the carbon block with the highest amount of fluorine increased with 6.8% compared to that of using the carbon block prepared by the untreated cokes.

고유가 시대를 맞아 맞은 분야에서 에너지 다소비 산업으로 부각되고 있는 가운데 유류대신 화목, 무연과탄 연탄으로 연료를 대체해 왔으나 많은 문제점으로 소비자들에게 만족을 주지 못해 왔다. 정유사가 정부에 사전 허가 없이 가격을 인상할 수 있어 에너지 가격이 시장현황에 한치앞도 분간 할 수 없는 현실이며 이는 국내의 에너지 자원부족의 한계에 따라 전량 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문이다. 석유가격이 변동될 때 마다 고체로 연료전환을 이루려고 시도해 왔으나 일시적인 현상으로 끝났으며 지금은 장기적, 안정적으로 공급받을 수 있는 에너지원을 선택해야 할 중요한 시점에 와있다 하겠다. 최근 새로운 에너지원으로 각광받고 있는 ‘코크스’에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

A technique for determination of proportions of char, coal ana coke is needed in order to monitor pulverized coal injection performance in operating blast furnace. Quantitative X-ray powder diffraction analysis can be applied to the problem providing that structural information on carbonaceous materials, coal, char, coke and their mixture are known. Chars were prepared from a coal at different temperatures (1000∼1400$^{\circ}C$) and were characterised by X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD). The XRD result gave crystallite size (height Lc and diameter, La), aromaticity, number of (002) plane in carbon, and d-spacing. As a result, with increasing heat treat temperature of char, Lc$_{(002)}$, La$_{(10)}$ and number of (002) plane in carbon were increased, and d-spacing and FWHM(Full With Half Maximum) were decreased. Result of prediction of amount of char from the mixtures (char, coke and ore) based on the Lc$_{(002)}$ information of two mixtures (coke and char) showed very close values expected.

Characteristics of Char-$CO_2$ gasification for petroleum coke, biomass and mixed fuels were compared in the temperature range of $1,100{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$ using TGA (Thermogravimetric analyzer). Kinetic constants with respect to reaction temperature were determined by using different gas-solid reaction models. Also activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factors ($K_0$) in each models were calculated by using Arrhenius equation and then were compared with experimental values to determine reaction rate equation for char-$CO_2$ gasification. Reaction time for $CO_2$ gasification decreased with an increase of reaction temperature. Also, the activation energy of $CO_2$ gasification reaction for mixture with petroleum coke and biomass decreased with increasing biomass contents. This indicates that mixing with biomass could bring synergy effects on $CO_2$ gasification reaction.

This study aimed at developing high-efficiency RDF(refuse derived fuels) fuel in order to use RDF energy rationally and to recycle industrial product. As most studies in this area are concentrated in large combustion apparatuses such as kilns, but this study was focused on the small-sized heating systems, applying them directly to grate type boiler which has a heating capacity of $66{\sim}132m^2$. The different kinds of fuel are experimented including RDF. Coke and Waste Tire. First, for this, we experimented and analyzed RDF to see the change in its mass and heating value. Also, four kinds of exhaust gas are sampled by gas analyzer including CO, $CO_2$, NO and $NO_2$ at different temperature. As a result, the levels of CO concentration of RDF are higher than these of coke and waste tire. But, the levels of NO, $CO_2$ and $SO_2$ concentration of RDF and coke were lower then the levels when waste tire is burned.

A new material was tested and its applicability was investigated so as to give the capability of self-diagnosis of fracture in composite mortar. In the research for giving self-diagnosis capability, conductive mortar intermixed with cokes and carbon fiber powder(milled carbon fiber) was developed and its using for self-diagnosis material was proposed. Then after examining change in the value of electric resistance and AE characteristics before and after the occurrence of cracks at each weight-stage, the relationships of each factors were analyzed. As the results, it can be recognized that a new composite material with cokes and carbon fiber powder(milled carbon fiber) can be applied for self-diagnosis of fracture in mortar specimen.

Coke strength was increased by adding ash-free coal (AFC) binder. In this study, the effect of the AFC binder on the physical and chemical properties of coke was experimentally investigated to understand the molecular mechanism for the improved coke strength. For reduced $CO_2$ emission in steelmaking industry, torrefied biomass fuel mixed with coal binder is also considered. The interface between the base coal and AFC was thus examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The coke strength was commonly measured by performing the indirect tensile test and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ modes. For comprehensive mechanism study of the enhanced coke strength thus obtained, ordinary coal for thermal power plant use was carbonized with AFC for subsequent SEM examination. The NMR spectroscopy results of coke samples positively revealed that the tensile strength was proportional to the average number of aromatic rings.
