미분탄 순산소 연소는 기존의 연소 방법과는 달리 산화제로 O2/CO2를 사용함으로써 NOx의 발생을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 고농도의 CO2를 쉽게 회수 할 수 있어 큰 주목을 받고 있다. NOx의 배출저감을 위한 기술로는 로 내에서의 재연소(reburning), 단계(staging) 연소등이 있으며, 후처리 NOx 저감기술로는 SCR, SNCR등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술들은 비용이 비싸다는 단점이 있으며, 미분탄 순산소 연소조건에서는 화염 안정성이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화염의 안정성과 밀접한 관련을 가지는 화염전파속도에 대해 미분탄 순산소 연소에서 석탄 입자의 물성치와 주위 기체의 특성이 화염전파속도에 미치는 영향을 수치적 방법을 통하여 해석하였으며, NO 저감의 한 방법인 연소가스 재순환(Flue Gas Recirculation)에 따른 연소특성 및 NO 생성 메커니즘의 영향과 석탄을 가스화 시키는 방법에 따른 연료의 연소특성에 대해 해석하였다.

Assessing the handling properties of coal becomes a major issue for the operation of a fuel supply system in power plants, due to the increased types of coal imported into Korea. In this study, the cohesion strengths of 13 bituminous and sub-bituminous coals from different countries were tested by measuring the amount of force that leads to a failure of consolidated particles. The particle size was in the range of 0.1-2.8 mm, which represents the coarse particles before pulverization. While the cohesion strength was proportional to the compression force in the tested range, the effects of the surface moisture content and the weight fraction of fines were crucial for cohesive coals. At fixed conditions of surface moisture and particle size, large variations were found in the cohesion propensity between coals. For coals of 0.1-0.5 mm with the moisture added close to the critical value, cohesive coals had the density over $900kg/m^3$ after consolidation. The cohesion propensity was not correlated with the basic properties of coals with sufficient statistical significance.

Coal tar-coated pipes buried in a domestic nuclear power plant have operated under the cathodic protection. This work conducted the simulation of the coating performance of these pipes using a FEM method. The pipes, being ductile cast iron have been suffered under considerably high cathodic protection condition beyond the appropriate condition. However, cathodic potential measured at the site revealed non-protected status. Converting from 3D CAD data of the power plant to appropriate type for a FEM simulation was conducted and cathodic potential under the applied voltage and current was calculated using primary and secondary current distribution and physical conditions. FEM simulation for coal tar-coated pipe without defects revealed over-protection condition if the pipes were well-coated. However, the simulation for coal tar-coated pipes with many defects predict that the coated pipes may be severely degraded. Therefore, for high risk pipes, direct examination and repair or renewal of pipes are strongly recommended.

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.

This study describes how successfully a conventional flame aerosol synthesis was used to continuously synthesize Pt-Ru catalysts supported by carbon agglomerates. Nearly spherical catalysts produced in the flame were mainly composed of metallic Pt and Ru with the molar ratio of 1:1 and those sizes were controllable from ~1.5 nm to ~2.0 nm. Nevertheless, only Pt peaks were found from X-ray diffraction experiments, suggesting that amorphous-like Ru was well mixed in the crystalline Pt lattices. It was found from Cyclo-voltamograms and CO stripping experiments that the electrochemical properties of the catalysts are at least comparable to that of a conventional commercial sample.

본 연구에서는 석탄화력보일러에서 고수분탄 및 건조석탄 사용이 연소와 배기배출 특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 전산해석 연구를 수행하였다. 대상 보일러 설계 조건의 성능데이터를 기준으로 보일러 해석 모델 결과를 검증하였으며, 역청탄과 고수분탄 및 건조석탄을 혼소하는 조건에 대한 계산을 수행하였다. 고수분탄 혼소 비율이 높아질수록 가스 수직속도는 증가하였으며, 이는 연료의 노내 체류시간을 줄여 보일러 연소성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 건조석탄을 혼소할 경우 역청탄과 유사한 연소 및 배기배출 특성을 보였다. 고수분탄 혼소 비율이 높아질수록 수분영향에 의해 버너영역에서 연소반응 및 NOx 생성은 감소하였으며, OFA(Over-fire air) 이후에 가스온도와 NOx 생성이 높아지는 결과를 확인하였다.

본 연구는 인도네시아 아역청탄인 키데코(Kideco)탄의 촤(char)-이산화탄소 촉매가스화 kinetic분석을 열중량분석기(thermogravimetric analysis, TGA)를 이용하여 수행하였다. 촉매는 탄산칼륨 및 탄산나트륨을 선정하였으며, 석탄과 촉매의 물리적 혼합을 통하여 촤를 제조하였다. 촤-이산화탄소 촉매가스화반응은 탄산나트륨 7 wt%, 850 ℃에서 이산화탄소 농도가 60 vol%일 때 가장 빠른 탄소전환율을 보여주었다. 750~900 ℃ 등온조건에서 촤-이산화탄소 촉매가스화 반응결과, 온도가 증가할수록 탄소전환율 속도가 빨라졌으며, 기-고체 반응모델 shrinking core model (SCM), random pore model (RPM), volumetric reaction model (VRM) 및 modified volumetric reaction model (MVRM)을 실험결과에 적용하였을 때, MVRM이 키데코탄의 가스화반응 거동을 잘 예측하였다. 또한 Arrhenius plot을 통한 활성화에너지는 탄산나트륨을 첨가한 촤가 탄산 칼륨을 첨가한 촤보다 더 우수한 촉매 활성을 보여주었다.

Rare earth elements together with Y and Sc (REEs) are essential in the development of technology for clean and efficient use of energy. In recent years coal deposits have much attention and attracted as a promising alternative raw sources for rare earth elements, not only because the REEs concentrations in many coals or coal ashes are equal to or higher than those found in conventional types of REEs ores but also because of the world wide demand for REEs in recent years has been greater than supply. In the coal ashes, REEs are mainly associated with carbonates, silicates and aluminosilicates in ashes at 800 and $1100^{\circ}C$. These elements are known to be powerful environmental tracers in natural biogeochemical compartments. In this study, to reviewed the REEs originating and distribution patterns in coal ash samples from the bedrock and/or soil weathering that were entrapped by lichens and mosses was investigated. The REEs patterns of different organisms species allowed minor influence of the species to be highlighted compared to the regional lithology.

In a direct coal fuel cell (DCFC) system, it is essential to identify volume fraction of coal suspended in electrolyte melt in order to control its dispersion and fluidity. This requirement is compelling especially at anode channel where hot slurry is likely to flow at low velocity. In this study, light scattering techniques were employed to measure the volume fraction for a pulverized coal suspension with relatively high absorption coefficient. The particle size, scattering angle, and volume fraction were varied to evaluate their effects on the scattering behavior as well as scattering regime. The larger coal size and smaller forward scattering angle could provide a shift to more favorable scattering regime, i.e., independent scattering, where interferences of light scattering from one particle with others are suppressed.

본 연구에서는 Drop Tube Furnace(DTF)를 이용하여 고수분탄과 건조석탄의 미연분 및 NOx 배출 특성에 관한 실험과 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. $1200^{\circ}C$ 온도조건에서 동일한 질량의 고수분탄과 건조석탄의 연소 시, 건조석탄의 경우 고수분탄에 비해 노 내 온도가 더 높고 동일 체류시간 반응 후 미연분 함량도 더 많았으며, NOx 배출은 고수분탄에서 더 낮았다. 석탄 내 수분함량이 40%에서 10%로 감소함에 따라 노 내 수분 농도는 감소하고 가스온도는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 주위 Wall temperature가 $900^{\circ}C{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$까지 높아질수록 미연분은 감소하였으며, NOx 배출은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 건조석탄의 경우 주위 온도변화에 따른 연소성이 고수분탄보다 크게 나타나, 온도가 증가할수록 고수분탄과 건조석탄의 미연분 차이가 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
