In this study, carbon conversion was measured using an electronic mass balance. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was pyrolyzed in a nitrogen environment and became coal char, which was then gasified with steam under isothermal conditions. The reactivity of coal char was investigated at various temperatures and steam concentrations. The VRM(volume reaction model), SCM(shrinking core model), and RPM(random pore model) were used to interpret experimental data. For each model the activation energy(Ea), pre-exponential factor (A), and reaction order(n) of the coal char-steam reaction were determined by applying the Arrhenius equation into the data obtained with thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA). According to this study, it was found that experimental data agreed better with the VRM and SCM for 1,000 and $1,100^{\circ}C$, and the RPM for 1,200 and $1,300^{\circ}C$. The reactivity of chars increased with the increase of gasification temperature. The structure parameter(${\psi}$) of the surface area for the RPM was obtained.

This study is to establish a waste bed combustion model that can be available to assist the design of incinerators for efficient operation control of municipal waste incinerators. An unsteady one -dimensional bed combustion modeling was developed which incorporates the various sub-process models and solves the governing equations for both gases and solids in the waste bed combustion phenomena. The combustion characteristics and the properties of the combustion gas released from the bed were investigated by using a developed model. Besides, a sub-model which predicts the formation and destruction of nitrogen oxides in the waste bed was also developed as a post-processor for the waste combustion model. It is found that the reduction rate of nitrogen oxides is enhanced in the char layer.

Reactivity of gasification defined by bouardard reaction is critical parameter in efficiency of the gasifier. In this study, char reactivity of the gasification was derived from the experiments using the intrinsic reaction kinetics model. Pressurized wire mesh heating reactor (PWMR) can produce high temperature and high pressure conditions up to 50 atm and 1750 K, respectively and PWMR was designed to evaluate the intrinsic reaction kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification. In this study, Kideco and KCH (sub-bituminous Indonesian coal) were pulverized and converted into char. Experiments used the PWMR were conducted and the conditions of the temperature and pressure were 1373~1673 K, 1~40 atm. To distinguish the pressure effect from high pressurized condition, internal and external effectiveness factors were considered. Finally, the intrinsic kinetics of the Kideco and KCH coal char were derived from $n^{th}$ order reaction rate equations.

국내 Y 화력발전소에서 사용중인 5개 석탄에 대한 열분해, 촤 - 공기 반응에 대한 반응성 실험을 TGA를 이용하여 수행하였다. 탄종별 열분해 및 촤 반응특성을 살펴보았으며 반응성 지수를 구하여 서로 비교, 분석하였다. 열분해 속도는 Peabody, Flame, MIP, Indominco, Elk valley의 순이었으며 열분해 거동은 2단계, 1차 열분해 모델에 의하여 잘 모사되어졌다. 5개 탄종에 대한 촤 - 공기 반응은 그레인 모델로 잘 모사되었으며 촤의 반응 속도는 Flame 촤가 가장 컸으며 Elk valley 촤가 가장 작은 값을 보여주었다. Flame 촤의 경우 1,000 K 이상의 온도 영역에서 반응속도가 다른 촤에 비해 월등히 빠른 것을 보여주었다.

Coal is the energy resource which is important with the new remarking energy resource. Coal combustion produces more NOx per unit of energy than any other major combustion technology. Pollutant emission associated with coal combustion will have a huge impact on the environment. Coal conversion has three processes which are drying, coal devolatilization and char oxidation. Coal devolatilization process is important because it has been shown that HCN which is converted from volatile N contributes 60 to 80% of the total NOx produced. This paper addresses mass release behavior of char, tar, gas and HCN in an experiment of Laminar Flow Reactor with two coals such as Roto middle coal (Sub-bituminous) and Anglo coal (Bituminous). The experiment is compared with the data predicted by CPD model for mass release of HCN about Roto south, Indominco, Weris creek and China orch coals. The results show that HCN increases as a function of decreasing the ratio of fixed carbon(FC)/ volatile matter(VM of the coals contain.)

This study investigates the gasification of coal char by $CO_2$ under high pressures in a drop tube furnace(DTF). The rate constants are derived for the shrinking core model using the conventional method based on the set reactor conditions. The computational fluid dynamic(CFD) simulations adopting the rate constants revealed that the carbon conversion was much slower than the experimental results, especially under high temperature and high partial pressure of reactants. Three reasons were identified for the discrepancy: i) shorter reaction time because of the entry region for heating, ii) lower particle temperature by the endothermic reaction, and iii) lower partial pressure of $CO_2$ by its consumption. Therefore, the rate constants were corrected based on the actual reaction conditions of the char. The CFD results updated using the corrected rate constants well matched with the measured values. Such correction of reaction conditions in a DTF is essential in deriving rate constants for any char conversion models by $H_2O$ and $O_2$ as well as $CO_2$.

본 연구는 화염안정을 위해 약간의 메탄을 첨가한 1차원, Hat, 예혼합, 층류 석탄-공기 화염구조에 관한 연구로서 반응영역을 늘리기 위해 0.3 atm에서 운전되는 저압버너를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 가스 온도, 주요가스의 농도, 샘플된 촤의 분석과 화염속도에 대하여 여러 모델들의 해석결과를 실험결과와 서로 비교하였다. 여러 모델중 촤 표면적 지수(S=4)와 휘발성분에 대해 각각의 탈휘발화 속도상수를 적용한 model II $I^{*}$ -d가 실험치와 비교적 일치함을 보여주었다. 샘플된 촤의 분석 결과 입자의 반응이 낮게 예측되어져 촤 표면적지수를 증가시켜야만 했다. 이 지수는 촤의 반응 표면적에 대한 민감도 분석으로부터 얻어진 결과였고 model II $I^{*}$ -d의 화염속도 해석결과는 대부분의 측정치에 근접한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 고체 입자 직경은 열적 지연과 반응표면적을 통하여 탈휘발화율과 촤 산화에 큰 영향을 주며 이는 곧 화염속도에 영향을 주고 있음을 보여주었다.

This paper describes the evaluation of kinetic parameters for pyrolysis and carbon char oxidation of residual oil. The non-isothermal pyrolysis of residual oil was carried out with TGA (Thermo-Gravimetric Analyzer) at heating rate of 2, 5, 10 and $20^{\circ}C/min$ up to $800^{\circ}C$ under N2 atmosphere. The first order and nth order pyrolysis models were used to fit the experimental data, and the nth order model was turned out to follow the experimental data more precisely than the first order model. For carbon char oxidation experiment, TGA and four heating rates used in pyrolysis experiment were also adapted. The kinetic parameters for the residual carbon char particle were obtained with three char oxidation model, that is, volume reaction, grain and random pore model. Among them, the random pore model described the char oxidation behaviour quite well, compared to other two models. The non-linear regression method was used to obtain kinetic parameters for both pyrolysis and carbon char oxidation of residual oil.

A numerical study for simulating a swirling pulverized coal combustion in axisymmetric geometry is done here by applying the weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGGM) approach with the discrete ordinate method (DOM) to model the radiative heat transfer equation. In the radiative transfer equation, the same polynomial equation and coefficients for weighting factors as those for gas are adopted for the coal/char particles as a function of partial pressure and particle temperature. The Eulerian balance equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species mass fractions are adopted with the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, whereas the Lagrangian approach is used for the particulate phase for soot. The eddydissipation model is employed for the reaction rate for gaseous mixture, and the single-step first-order reaction model for the devolatilization process for coal. By comparing the numerical results with experimental ones, the models used here are confirmed and found to be one of good alternatives for simulating the combustion as well as radiative characteristics.

Various coals from many countries around the world have been used for pulverized coal boiler in power plants in Korea. In this study, the gasification reactivities of various coal chars with $CO_2$ were investigated. Carbon conversion was measured using a real time gas analyzer with NDIR CO/$CO_2$ sensor. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was devolatilized at $950^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere and became coal char and then further heated up to reach to a desired temperature. Each char was then gasified with $CO_2$ under isothermal conditions. The reactivities of coal chars were investigated at different temperatures. The shrinking core model (SCM) and volume reaction model(VRM) were used to interpret the experiment data. It was found that the SCM and VRM could describe well the experimental results within the carbon conversion of 0-0.98. The gasification rates for various coals were very different. The gasification rate for any coal increased as the volatile matter content increased.
