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.

To evaluate the technical of microbial coal desulfurization during the storage in coal dumps, microbial pyrite oxidation in a packed column reactor with Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been investigated. For microbial desulfurization in a packed reactor system, coal particle size over 1.0 mm with uniform size distribution seems to be most suitable as fas as drainage behavior and accessability of pyrite are concerned. When coal samples of 1∼2 and 2∼4 mm particle size were size were used, about 32∼42% of pyritic sulfur was removed within 70 days. The rate of pyritic sulfur oxidation was in the range of 348∼803 mg S/kg coal ·d, and the sulfur removal rates in packed columns were about 15∼25% of those in suspension cultures. Without any circulation of liquid medium, microbial coal desulfurization could be possible by the inoculation of T. ferrooxidans along on the coal dump. It was concluded that a microbial percolation process is one of possible processes for the desulfurization of high sulfur coal during a long-term storage.

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.

As one of the red tide control method, montmorillonite was used to eliminate the causative organisms in Korea and Japan. We assayed the loess to replace the montmorillonite because it distribute in large quantity and nearby the red tide occurrence in South Coast of Korea. By using the mixture of loess and coal ashes, we examined the decreasing level of nutrients such as ammonia and phosphate, the elimination of causative organisms as a chlorophyll a content, and the harmful effect on aquaculture orgarnisms in cage culture farms. Half of the ammonium and phosphate was adsorbed by the loess particles, but only $25\%$ of ammonium was adsorbed by the coal ashes particles. In water column test, the particles of loess and coal ashes were settled down by $80\%$ in 20 minutes, the red tide organisms was eliminated by $80\%$ after 2 hours in 1,000 ppm of loess suspension, but the organisms were eliminated only $30\%$ by the same concentration of coal ashes. The harmful test of fishes and invertbrates, we observed any other negative effects of test animals than a tint deceleration in yellowtail.

Yam powders were prepared by freeze, fan, hot-air, and coal-heat drying. The viscosities of their suspensions and supernatants and the viscosity changes with addition of sugar, salt, and citric acid were investigated. Viscosity (43 mPa s) of 7.5% suspension of fan-dried yam powder was lower than that of freeze dried yam (58.1 mPa s), but much higher than that of the conventional, hot-air dried yam (17.2 mP s). Coal-heat dried yam had a viscosity of only 4.5 mPa s. The viscosity was related to the protein denaturation induced by heat and acid. Addition of sugar to yam powder increased the viscosity of the suspension but no changes were evident with salt addition. Viscosities decreased when 0.5% citric acid was added (pH 3.4-3.5).

The utilization of waste and industrial byproduct materials, such as blast furnace slag, shales, poor coal and anthracite briquet ash, were investigated as a source of calcareous or argillaceous material in the manufacture of Portland cement. As a slag is similar to cement in chemical compoment and contains about 40∼50% of CaO, it's utilization in cement manufacture should be suitable. The burnability was increased and the heat of clinker formation was decreased by using slag. Some consideration should betaken in the use of large quantity because of sticking in suspension preheater kiln. Suitable quantities of colliery shales and poor coal should be useable in cement manufacture as a argillaceous materials and also its combustible materials should be utilized in cement manufacture. Anthracite briquet ash is also usable as a argillaceous source and it gives good burnability.

A two phase model for the simulation of flame propagation has been developed and applied to a mixture of coal air. The effects associated with changes in the initial coal partial equivalence ratio and the initial diameter of particles on the structure of laminar flame propagation have been studied qualitatively and quantitatively. Especially the flame structure, the burning velocity, and the thermal behavior were evaluated. It was found that the radiative heat transfer absolutely dominates over the conduction mode. The increase in particle size was seen to contribute to an obvious increase in burning velocity for fuel lean and stoichiometric mixture. But for fuel rich mixture, the burning velocity was found to exhibit a weaker dependence on particle size.

Due to the processing cost, there were some reports on distribution of unrefined fly ash. Hence, in this research, the possibility of fly ash quality evaluation by measuring the density of various qualities of coal ash suspensions with hydrometer. According to the experimental results, the appropriate test conditions were determined with 1,000cc capacity mass cylinder for 1,000cc of water with 100g of fly ash. From the evaluating performance of various coal ashes, based on a good correlation between fineness and quality of the coal ashes, it was possible to evaluate the quality of coal ash by measuring different density of suspension with hydrometer. In this research conditions, the suggestable measuring time of density variation was three minute for fly ash quality related with fineness.

Mankind is enjoying a great convenience of their life by the rapid growth of secondary industry since the Industrial Revolution and it is possible due to the invention of huge power such as engine. The automobile which plays the important role of industrial development and human movement is powered by the Engine Module, and especially Diesel engine is widely used because of mechanical durability and energy efficiency. The main work mechanism of the Diesel engine is composed of inhalation of the organic material (coal, oil, etc.), combustion, explosion and exhaust Cycle process then the carbon compound emissions during the last exhaust process are essential which is known as the major causes of air pollution issues in recent years. In particular, COx, called carbon oxide compound which is composed of a very small size of the particles from several ten to hundred nano meter and they exist as a suspension in the atmosphere. These Diesel particles can be accumulated at the respiratory organs and cause many serious diseases. In order to compensate for the weak point of such a Diesel Engine, the DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) post-cleaning equipment has been used and it mainly consists of ceramic materials(SiC, Cordierite etc) because of the necessity for the engine system durability on the exposure of high temperature, high pressure and chemical harsh environmental. Ceramic Material filter, but it remains a lot of problems yet, such as limitations of collecting very small particles below micro size, high cost due to difficulties of manufacturing process and low fuel consumption efficiency due to back pressure increase by the small pore structure. This study is to test the possibility of new structure by direct infiltration of SiC Whisker on Carbon felt as the next generation filter and this new filter is expected to improve the above various problems of the Ceramic DPF currently in use and reduction of the cost simultaneously. In this experiment, non-catalytic VS CVD (Vapor-Solid Chemical Vaporized Deposition) system was adopted to keep high mechanical properties of SiC and MTS (Methyl-Trichloro-Silane) gas used as source and H2 gas used as dilute gas. From this, the suitable whisker growth for high performance filter was observed depending on each deposition conditions change (input gas ratio, temperature, mass flow rate etc.).
