Various approaches have been proposed to predict the ash deposition (slagging and fouling) propensity of coal, which is essential in maintaining high efficiency and preventing corrosion/damage of a coal-fired boiler. The common method is to establish an index of the ash deposition propensity based on elementary coal composition and advanced characterization of ash properties, which is readily applicable to design, operation and maintenance of coal-fired boilers. Although many indexes have been developed for this purpose, their validity is still not satisfactory in actual applications to particular coal types or operating conditions. This paper reviews the status of predictive approaches for the ash deposition propensity, and assesses the performance of existing indexes by comparing the results for selected coals. This work will contribute to the development of a comprehensive and practical method for prediction of the ash deposition propensity.

In pulverized coal fired boilers, slagging and fouling may cause significant effect on the operational life of boiler. As increasing a consumption of low rank coal, slagging and fouling are main issues in pulverized coal combustion. This study predicts ash deposition propensity in a 0.7 MW pilot-scale furnace. Slagging model is employed as a User-Defined Function (UDF) of FLUENT and validated against measurement and prediction. The results show good agreement compared with experiment. There is need to development of a pulverized coal combustion and slagging analysis at low coal.

In recent years, significant advances have been made in the development of methods to predict ash behavior in utility boilers. This paper provides an overview of methods used to assess and predict ash formation and deposition. It has discussed some of the key problems associated with the formation and deposition of ash during the combustion of pulverized coal. Although considerable progress has been made in understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of ash formation, transport, growth, and strength development, there is still much work to be done. There is a need to develop quantitative relationships between the characteristics of the entrained ash and the physical properties of ash deposits that influence deposit growth, strength development, and cleanability. Also data from bench-scale, pilot-scale, and full-scale units are needed in order to determine operating conditions which will minimize deposition problems, maximize efficiency, and reduce emissions.

국내 500MW 석탄화력발전소에서 사용중인 역청탄 (앵글로탄)과 아역청탄 (타니토탄)을 입수하여 석탄회의 기본적인 연료 및 연소특성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 열기계분석기를 이용하여 석탄 회에 대한 고온 용융특성을 평가하고 최근 새롭게 제시된 BHEL 슬래깅 지수를 구하였다. 아역청탄인 타니토탄 회는 $1,200{\sim}1,250^{\circ}C$에서 대부분의 용융이 발생하고 있으나 역청탄인 앵글로탄 회는 상대적으로 높은 온도인 $1,550^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 급격한 용융이 발생하였다. 석탄 회의 용융특성과 석탄중의 회 함량을 고려한 BHEL 지수는 두 탄종 모두 슬래깅성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 기존의 슬래깅 지수들은 서로 다른 슬래깅성을 보여주었다.
