Coal-water mixture(CWM) fuel has attracted much attention as a substitute fuel for oil by which high economics and short-term commercialization might be realized in comparison with other coal conversion technologies. There are many factors that affect the CWM combustibility, such as the physical properties of CWM, the performance of atomizer and burner, operating conditions, capacity and load of the boiler, etc. Particularly, atomization quality is extremely critical to achieving acceptable carbon conversion efficiency of CWM fuel and maintaining the flame stability, because the coal particles in the CWM droplets burn as agglomerates. This paper presents the R&D results about the CWM atomization characteristics, including the significance of CWM atomization the R&D results about the CWM atomization characteristics, including the significance of CWM atomization quality, the atomization and combustion mechanism, the type of CWM atomizer, size and size distribution of CWM droplets and some factors that influence the atomization performance.

분포지역과 매장량이 한정되어 있는 석유에 비하여 석탄은 가채년수가 길고 세계 전역에 널리 분포되어 있으므로 향후 안정적인 에너지 공급으로 각광받고 있다. 석탄을 이용하여 CWM을 제조하는 기술은 석유에 비하여 저장, 수송, 분진 비산등의 문제점을 개선하여 위하여 1980년대부터 석탄 물 혼 합연료(Coal-Water Mixture)의 기술개발을 위한 연구가 진행되었다. 이는 미분탄(유연탄)에 30%정도의 물과 약간의 첨가제를 혼합하여 유체화하여 수송성은 액체연료와 같고 연소성은 석탄의 성상을 갖는 특징을 가지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 당센터에서 보유하고 있는 습식 분류층 가스화장치에 적용하기 위한 CWM(Coal Water Mixture)제조 특성을 연구하였다. 습식 석탄 가스화기에 사용되는 CWM은 미분되어진 석탄과 물, 첨가제를 일정비율로 혼합하여 사용하게 된다. 이때 공급되어지는 미분의 입도와 분쇄 형태에 따른 입자 형태, 입자의 분포에 따라서 CWM의 특성이 각각 다르게 나타나게 된다. 이때 만들어진 CWM의 농도와 점도 특성에 따라서 버너의 성능 및 가스화기 운전 조건등에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 습식 석탄 가스화에 적용된 예정인 대상탄을 대상으로 하여 석탄분쇄 형태에 따른 CWM의 제조 특성을 실험하였다.

CWM(Coal Water Mixture) is a mixed fuel that consists of coal, water and additives. The main advantages of CWM are reducing the oil consumption and the air pollution materials such as flyash, dirt, and $SO_x$. This paper presented a case study for the economic feasibility analysis of changing an existing coal-oil power plant to a CWM power plant. The economic analysis of changing a coal-oil power plant to a CWM power plant was based on the total annual incremental costs of two power plants. We found that this project was economically and environmentally acceptable.

The purpose of this study is to get experimental data on the distribution of CWM (Coal- Water Mixture) droplets size and the presence of pulverized coal particles inside CWM droplets. Atomization of CWM is done by Twin-Fluid Atomizer. The operational parameters are atomizing air pressure, coal particle loading, mean size of pulverized coal particles and sampling positions across spray. Th data analysis is initiated by Impression Sampling Method(Magnesium Oxide Technique) and Photo-technique and counting works are followed. Experimental work induces following research results. The variation of particle loadings in slurry makes no appreciable effects on the mean size of CWM droplets. It is evident that atomizing air pressure has very strong effect on the atomization of slurry. The mean size of atomized fuel droplets is dramatically reduced with the increasing air pressure. The population ratio of droplets without coal particles to total number of droplets is decreased as atomizing air pressure or loading rises and the same trend is obtained as the mean size of coal particles becomes smaller but a certain tendency of coal particle presence inside droplets could not be found from the change of sampling positions.

아역청탄을 이용하여 제조된 CWM(Coal-Water Mixture)연료의 유변학적 특성을 측 정함으로써 음이온 계면활성제 Temol-N, 안정제 Xanthan 및 전해질 등의 첨가제에 대한 성능을 평가하고 최적첨가조성을 결정하였다. 계면확성제의 흡착으로 인해 석탄입자는 음전 하를 띠게 되었고 표면에 전기이중층이 생성되었다. 전기 이중층의 전기적 반발력이 입자의 응집을 막았고 CWA 슬러리의 점도를 감소시켰다. 또한 Xanthan과 NaOH의 첨가로 인해 분산안정성 및 침강안정성이 향상되는 것을 관찰하였다. CWM에서 석탄입자가 차지하는 부 피비를 무게비로 전환하여 표현하고 분산계에서 입자의 부피비에 따른 점도변화를 예측하는 실험식인 Krieger-Dougherty 식과 Frankel-Acrivos 식에 적용하였다. 점도 실험값을 가지 고 식의 변수들을 결정해 본결과 CWM이 나타내는 점도의 석탄함량에 따른 변화를 위 식 들이 비교적 정확시 나타내 주는 것을 확인하였다.

최근 유가 상승 및 에너지 확보, 경질 원유 생산량 및 부존량 감소로 인하여 대체 석유자원의 개발에 대한 연구 및 관심이 급증하고 있다. 기존의 연소 방식이 아닌 연료를 청정 가스로 전환하여 이용하는 가스화 기술 개발이 진행되고 있다. 석탄은 매장량이 세계적으로 풍부 할뿐만 아니라, 지역적으로도 편재되어 있지 않은 에너지원인 석탄을 활용하는 새로운 발전기술로 환경보전성이 우수하며, 효율이 기존의 발전 시스템보다 뛰어난 에너지 이용기술로 각광받는 분야이다. 석탄 슬러리는 분쇄한 석탄을 믹서를 사용하여 소량의 계면활성제를 첨가하여 제조한다. CWM 제조용 석탄은 대체로 고유수분 5%이하, 회분 10%이하의 석탄이 추천되고 있으며, 수분이나 회분량, 산소함량, 입자의 세공율이 증가할수록 고농도화에 불리한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 연료적 가치를 향상시키기 위해서는 물의 함량을 적게, 즉 석탄의 농도를 증가시키는 것이 중요하다. 일반적인 CWM 규격으로는 석탄농도 65% 이상이 바람직한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 석탄가스화에 연료로 사용되는 CWM의 연료성상 및 미립화 정도, 제조 조건 등에 따라 많은 차이가 발생한다. 본 실험에서는 1.0T/D급 습식 분류층가스화기에서 이용할 CWM의 제조를 위하여 소형 믹서를 이용하여 석탄의 농도에 따른 점도 변화와 석탄의 분쇄입자 크기에 따른 점도 변화, 계면활성제와 첨가제의 농도에 따른 점도 특성을 실험하였다.

A significant drag reduction in the turbulent flow of CWM(coal Water Mixture) adding minute amounts of high molecular weight polymer additives has been obtained and it was compared with pure CWM.However, the rate of drag reduction could come down with flow time, which is caused by polymer degradation, The rate of drag reduction and polymer degradation is affected by polymer type, concentration, molecular weight, and flow velocity. In the present investigation, these important parameters were evaluated for their influences on polymer degradation in order to find out stable conditions for CWM transportation with time. It was necessary to determine the more effective type of polymer additives to guarantee the optimum conditions for CWM transport. Experiments were undertaken with a test section of pipe diameter 9.8mm and pipe length 3500mm(L/D=357) in a closed loop, and polyacrylamide and polyetylene oxide were utilized as polymer additives. The tests were carried out under the conditions of 200, 400, 700ppm of polymer concentrations. CWM concentrations utilized were 5% and 10% with flow velocities of 4.9m/s and 6.1m/s. Experimental data show that polyehylene oxide degraded faster than polyacrylamide in CWM transport, and polyacryamide is considered to be a more effective candidate as additive for long time-CWM transport. Polymer degradation is also found to be more likely at lower polymer concentrations, at higher flow velocities, and higher CWM concentrations.

As the combustion process of CWM consists of the water evaporation, the release and combustion of volatile matter, and the combustion of char for every particle, it is more complex than that of existent liquid fuel. Though the many studies on CWM combustion have been carried out by the single droplet using hanging methods or the multiple droplet using atomization methods, any report don't presents definite solution about the effects by the initial water evaporation and combustion of volatile. When CWM is suddenly exposed in the high temperature surroundings, the internal water evaporates and then each droplet builds up pores. Besides, porosity rate changes along the temperature of surroundings, the composition ratio of CWM, and the initial diameter of droplet. In result, because it affects the whole combustion rate, the combustion of CWM has complex mechanism as compared with the combustion of liquid or gas fuel. Therefore, concentrating on porous structure of CWM, this study has proceeded to acquire the basic data on the CWM injection combustion and closely examines the effects of the first stage combustion on the whole combustion by measuring the diameter variations, pore rate, mass fraction burned, and the internal temperature changes of CWM droplet. The results demonstrate that $60{\sim}70%$ of initial mass is reduced during water evaporation and volatile combustion period, and swelling rate, mass faction burned, and density variation are greatly concerned with atomization of CWM etc.

Coal gasification experiments were performed to characterize the bench scaled unit of 0.5∼1.0 T/D entrained coal gasifier developed by KIER. Datong coal from China was selected for this study. The system was operated at the temperature range of 1300∼1550$^{\circ}C$, with 62.5% of coal water mixture on the basis of dry coal. Oxygen and slurry mixture were preheated prior to feeding into burner and the ratio of oxygen/coal was in the range of 0.8∼1.2. In the preparation of coal water mixture, 0.3 wt% of CWM1002 and 0.05 wt% of NaOH wire added to reduce viscosity as well as to enhance theological properties of slurry. The resultant gaseous products consist primarily of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and minor amounts of methane. Formation of H$_2$and CO was increased, while CO$_2$was decreased as the reacting temperature being increased due to the char-CO$_2$reaction. Maximum production of H$_2$and CO occurred in the O$_2$/coal ratio of 0.9 at 1530$^{\circ}C$. Heating values of product gases were in the range of 1700∼2400 kcal/N㎥.
