To reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants, researchers focusing on coal and biomass co-firing technology. Biomass, with its carbon-neutral nature and lower quantities of nitrogen and sulfur compared with coals, has a positive impact on coal-fired power generation. Many studies on the combustion of biomass have been conducted, but the study on the combustion characteristics of biomass char is limited. FERPM predicts char combustion characteristics with high accuracy by introducing experimental data-based parameters of biomass char and has not yet been applied in numerical simulation. In this study, FERPM is numerically applied to char combustion of wood pellets representing wood-based biomass and the combustion characteristics are compared with the kinetic/diffusion limited model, intrinsic model, and diffusion limited model.

본 연구는 이온교환법을 통해 Ni촉매를 담지한 저등급 석탄(인도네시아 Eco탄)과 바이오매스(대한민국 상록수)의 혼합물로부터 제조된 촤(char)를 $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 등온조건에서 온도가 반응속도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. $Char-CO_2$ 가스화 반응은 700, 750, 800, 850, $900^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 진행하였으며, 기-고체 반응의 가스화 거동특성을 알아보기 위하여 각각 다른 가정을 갖고 있는 shrinking core model(SCM), volumetric reaction model(VRM), random pore model(RPM), modified volumetric reaction model(MVRM)을 실험결과에 적용하여 비교하였다. Arrhenius equation를 이용하여 Ni-coal/biomass와 Non-catalyst coal/biomass의 활성화에너지를 구하였고 이를 비교하였다.

Gasification of biomass produces syngas containing CO, $H_2$ and/or $CH_4$, which can then be converted into energy or value-added fuels. One of key issues for efficient gasification is to minimize tar concentration in the syngas for use in a final conversion device such as gas engine. This study investigated the decomposition of primary tar by catalytic cracking using char as catalyst, of which the feature can be integrated into a fixed bed gasifier design. The pyrolysis vapor containing tar from pyrolysis of wood at $500^{\circ}C$ was passed through a reactor filled with or without char at $800^{\circ}C$ for a residence time of 1, 3 or 5 sec. Then, the condensable vapor (water and tar) and gases were analyzed for the yields and elemental composition. Four types of char particles with different microscopic surface area and pore size distribution: wood, paddy straw, palm kernel shell and activated carbon. The results were analyzed for the mass and carbon yields of tar and the composition of product gases to conclude the effects of char types and residence time.

Fuel blend technique is one of the most effective way of using biomass to replace the coal. Many studies on combustion characteristics with coal and biomass blends have been conducted. In this study, char reactivity and emission characteristics of coal (Suek) and biomass (EFB) blends has been investigated by TGA and DTF to evaluate the applicability of the pre-treated (torrefaction, ash removal technology) EFB to pulverized coal boiler. In all blending cases, char reactivity improved as the blending ratio increases (10, 20, and 30%), especially torrefied EFB blended at 30%. Also, unburned carbon decreased as the blending ratio increases in all types of EFB. NOx emission showed the increase and decrease characteristics according to the content of fuel-N of raw EFB and torrefied EFB. But the amount of NOx emission at ashless EFB blends is greater than that of Suek despite of lower fuel-N. It indicated that co-firing effect of using the pretreatment biomass fuel is relatively better than those of the untreated biomass fuel about char reactivity and emission characteristics.

A number of field studies have provided evidence that biomass burning is one of the major global sources of atmospheric particles. In this study, we have collected $PM_{2.5}$ emitted from biomass burning combusted at open burning and laboratory chamber situations. The open burning experiment was conducted with the cooperation of 9 farmers in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, while the chamber experiment was designed to evaluate the characteristics of chemical components among 14 different plant species. The analyzed categories were $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration, organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), ionic components ($Na^+$, ${NH_4}^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Cl^-$, ${NO_3}^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), water-insoluble inorganic carbon (WIOC), char-EC and soot-EC. OC was the dominant chemical component, accounting for the major fraction of primary $PM_{2.5}$ derived from biomass burning, followed by EC. Ionic components contributed a small portion of $PM_{2.5}$, as well as that of $K^+$. In some cases, $K^+$ is used as biomass burning tracer; however, the observations obtained in this study suggest that $K^+$ may not always be suitable as a tracer for biomass burning emissions. Also, the results of all the samples tested indicate relatively low values of char-EC compared to soot-EC. From our results, careful consideration should be given to the usage of $K^+$ and char-EC as indicators of biomass burning. The calculated ratios of WSOC/OC and WIOC/OC were 55.7% and 44.3% on average for all samples, which showed no large difference between them. The organic materials to OC ratio, which is often used for chemical mass closure model, was roughly estimated by two independent methods, resulting in a factor of 1.7 for biomass burning emissions.

Torrefaction is one of the methods to increase combustion calorific value and hydrophobicity of biomass. In this study, the effects of torrefaction on devolatilization, char reactivity and biomass structure were analyzed. Empty fruit bunch (EFB) and Kenaf biomass were used as fuels to be torrefied in the N2 environment at 200, 250 and $290^{\circ}C$. Devolatilization and char kinetics were analyzed by using TGA and biomass structure was investigated through petrography image. The reactivity showed different trends depending on the torrefaction temperature and biomass structure. The herbaceous biomass, Kenaf, was shown as high reactivity and thin wall structure. On the contrary, the woody biomass, EFB, had relatively low reactivity and thick wall structure.

석유 코크스, 바이오매스, 혼합연료들의 이산화탄소 가스화 반응성을 측정하고 비교하기 위해서 TGA (Thermogravimetric analyzer)를 이용하여 $1,100{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$의 char-$CO_2$ 가스화 반응을 조사하였다. 기-고체반응속도 모델들에 적용하여 $1,100{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$의 온도 영역에서의 반응 속도 상수를 구하였다. 또한 반응 속도 상수와 온도와의 관계를 Arrhenius 식에 적용하여 각 모델에서의 활성화에너지(Ea) 및 빈도 인자($K_0$)를 구하고 이를 실험값과 비교하여 석유 코크스, 바이오매스, 혼합 연료들의 이산화탄소 가스화 반응을 잘 모사하는 반응 속도식을 제시하였다. 반응온도가 증가할수록 이산화탄소 가스화에 소요되는 반응시간은 감축되었다. 또한 바이오매스와의 혼합이 증가할수록 활성화 에너지의 감소를 보여 바이오매스의 혼합이 석유 코크스의 이산화탄소 가스화 반응에 시너지 효과를 가져옴을 확인하였다.
