The unturned carbon in fly ash, recently occurred in the coal-fired Yong Hung power station, caused some problems in ash utilization and boiler efficiency. This paper describes the analysis of unburned carbon and six coals, some tests performed at Yong Hung Boiler, and the results of combustion modification for the reduction of unburned carbon in fly ash. From the physical and chemical analysis of unburned carbon in fly ash, most particles were turned out to be hollow cenosphere and agglomerated soot particles. The sooting potential from six coals used in the plant were investigated with CPD(Chemical Percolation Devolatilization) model. The results showed that the higher potential was presented to Peabody, Arthur, Shenhua coals rather than other coals. It was necessary to measure the coal flow rates at each coal feeding pipe for four burner levels since they affect the extent of mixing of soot with oxidant, in turn, the oxidation rate of soot particles. The unbalance in coal flow rate was found in several coal pipes. We successfully reduced unturned carbon in ash by increasing the excess air and changing the SOFA's yaw angle.

석탄회의 재활용율을 높이고자 비가소성 원료인 석탄회를 첨가한 슬립 및 고형화 소지의 유동학적 고찰을 하였고, 이들을 이용하여 주입성형 후 소성한 시편의 물성들을 측정하였다. 석탄회가 50wt.%이상 대체된 슬립의 경우 해교 기구는 점토내 입자의 정전기적 반발력 보다는 석탄회에 포함된 cenosphere 입자표면의 물유리 흡착에 의한 steric stabilization에 의한 것으로 판단되었다. 응집된 슬립은 전형적인 thixotrophy 현상을 나타내는 반면 분산후 재응집된 슬립은 점도가 계속 증가하는 겔화현상을 나타내어 망목구조를 갖는 성형체를 제조할 수 있었다. 석탄회 대체율 50wt.%의 소성체에서 가장 우수한 물성치를 얻을 수 있었으며, 대체율 70wt.%까지의 주입성형이 가능하였다.

최근 환경오염 문제가 대두되면서 친환경 재료로 만들어진 제품에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 친환경재료는 기존의 재료보다 성능이 낮거나 비싼 가격 때문에 대체하기가 쉽지 않다. 세노스피어는 화력발전소에서 생성되는 부산물중 하나로 기존 재료에 첨가되는 충전재와 유사한 성분으로 구성되어 있으며, 가벼운 것이 특징이다. 본 논문에서는 화력발전소로부터 발생되는 부산물을 절연재료의 충전재로써 활용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 에폭시수지에 세노스피어 0~100[wt%]와 실리카 0~40[wt%]를 각각 첨가하여 온도변화에 따른 AC 절연파괴강도 및 유리전이온도, 열팽창율을 시험하였다. 절연파괴 실험 결과 세노스피어/에폭시 복합재료는 실리카/에폭시 복합재료에 비하여 높은 성능을 보여주었으며, 유리전이온도와 열팽창계수는 비슷하거나 좋은 성능을 보여주었다. 따라서 세노스피어는 기존에 사용되고 있는 충전재를 대체할 수 있다고 사료된다.

Fly ash produced in coal combustion is a fine-grained material consisting mostly of spherical, glassy, and porous particles. A physical, morphological, and chemical characteristic of fly ash has been analyzed. This study may contribute to the data base of domestic fly ash, the improvement of combustion efficiency, ash recycling and ash collection in the electrostatic precipitator. The physical property of fly ash is determined using a particle counter for the measurement of ash size distribution and gravimeter. Morphological characteristic of fly ash is performed using a scanning electron micrograph and an optical microscope. The chemical components of fly ash are determined using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). The distribution of fly ash size was ranged from 15 to 25 $\mu$m in mass median diameter. Exposure conditions of flue gas temperature and duration within the combustion zone of the boiler played an important role on the morphological properties of the fly ash such as shape, relative opacity, coloration, cenosphere and plerosphere. The spherical fly ash might be generated at the condition of complete combustion. The size of fly ash was found to be increased the with particle-particle interaction of agglomeration and coagulation. Fly ash consisted of $SiO_2\;Al_2O_3\;and\;Fe_2O_3$ with 85% and carbon with 3~10% of total mass.

The effects of different lightweight functional fillers on the properties of cement-based composites are investigated in this study. The fillers include fly ash cenospheres (FACs) and glass micro-spheres (GMS15 and GMS38) in various proportions. The developed composites were tested for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths at 10 and 28-day ages. The results indicated that both FACs and GMS38 are excellent candidates for producing strong lightweight composites. However, incorporation of GMS15 resulted in much lower specific strength values (only up to $13.64kPa/kg\;m^3$) due to its thinner shell thickness and lower isostatic crushing strength value (2.07 MPa). Microstructural analyses further revealed that GMS38 and GMS15 were better suited for thermal insulating applications. However, higher weight fraction of the fillers in composites leads to increased porosity which might be detrimental to their strength development.

Charateristics of Ansan and Boryong coal fly ashes collected at different seasons were investigated for the recycling them as ceramic raw materials. The effect of pH treatment on the classification of Ansan coal fly ashes by elutriation was discussed. Charateristics of ansan and boryong coal fly ashes were not significantly changed with power plants and seasons. major crystalline phases were mullite and quartz. These results suggested that coal fly ashes cab be used as raw materials instead of clay minerals. However, particle size distribution was very broad from a few $\mu\textrm{m}$ to over $100\;\mu\textrm{m}$. Especially, ansan coal fly ashes have various morphologies. Therefore, coal fly ashes should be classified before using as raw materials. Because of higher dispersion by pH treatment, spherical cenospheres were mainly collected in the 4th step and particle size distribusion was also decreased by elutriation for the ansan coal fly ashes. The specific surface area of the sample collected in the 4th step was $1.24\;m^{2}/g$ which was smaller than that of not treated Ansan coal fly ashes.
