A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055 m I.D. and 1.0 m in height was employed for the thermocatalytic decomposition of methane to produce $CO_2$ - free hydrogen . The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbons from the reactor. The methane decomposition rate with the carbon black N330 catalyst was quickly reached a quasi-steady state rate and remained for several hour. The methane and propane mixture decomposition reaction was carried out at the temperature range of 850 - 900 $^{\circ}C$, methane and propane mixture gas velocity of 1.0 $U_{mf}$ ${\sim}$ 3.0 $U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. Effect of operating parameters such as reaction temperature, gas velocity on the reaction rates was investigated. The produced carbon by the methane decomposition was deposited on the surfaces of carbon catalysts and the morphology was observed by TEM image.

The characteristics of anaerobic degradation of phenol were studied in a fluidized bed reactor using a granular activated carbon as media. Increasing the phenol loading rate with variation of feed concentration was considered as an experimental variable. In the present anaerobic fluidized-bed reactor, the removal efficiency of phenol and COD was maintained about 93-99% and 91-96%, respectively, up to 3.6 kg-phenol/$m^3\cdot d$ of the phenol loading rate, but it was abruptly decreased under 5.0 kg-phenol/$m^3\cdot d$. The volumetric production of biogas per removed phenol was decreased linearly between 0.80-1.27 m$^3$ gas/kg-phenol (0.35-0.56 m$^3$-gas/kg-COD), increasing the phenol loading rate, and the methane content of biogas was 55-60% as similar to that estimated theoretically up to 3.6 kg-phenol/$m^3\cdot d$. But the production rate and methane content of biogas were suddenly decreased at the loading rate of 5.0 kg-phenol/$m^3\cdot d$. Therefore, the anaerobically biodegradable phenol loading rate of the present reactor was 3.6 kg-phenol/$m^3\cdot$ d in order to accomplish over 90% of the removal efficiency.

In this paper, Thermocatalytic decomposition of methane in a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was studied. The technical approach is based on a single-step decomposition of methane over carbon catalyst in air/water vapor free environment. The factors affecting methane decompostion catalyst activity in methane decomposition reactions were examined. The fluidization phenomena in a gas-fluidized bed of catalyst was determined by the analysis of pressure fluctuation properties, and the results were confirmed with characteristics of methane decomposition. The effect of parameters on the H2 yield was examined for methane decompostion. The decompstion rate was affected by the fluidization quality such as mobility, U-Umf, carbon attrition, elutriation and effectiveness density of fluidization gas.

Fly ash from a circulating fluidized bed combustion boiler (CFBC fly ash) is very different in mineralogical composition, chemical composition, and morphology from coal ash from traditional pulverized fuel firing because of many differences in their combustion processes. The main minerals of CFBC fly ash are lime and anhydrous gypsum; however, due to the fuel type, the strength development of CFBC fly ash is affected by minor components of active $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$. The initial hydration product of the circulating fluidized bed combustion fly ash (B CFBC ash) using petro coke as a fuel is Portlandite which becomes gypsum after 7 days. Due to the structural features of the portlandite and gypsum, the self-cementitious strength of B CFBC ash was low. While the hydration products of the circulating fluidized bed combustion fly ash (A CFBC ash) using bituminous coal as a fuel were initially portlandite and ettringite, after 7 days the hydration products were gypsum and C-S-H. Due to the structural features of ettringite and C-S-H, A CFBC ash showed a certain degree of self-cementitious strength.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biofilm reactors capable of doing high efficiency treatment. Vertical fluidized bed biofilm reactor(VFBBR) and spiral fluidized bed biofilm reactor(SFBBR) was used for their performence in biodegradation of artificial sewage. The factors influencing the efficiency of those reactors were compared with difference of physical condition. They had same size but different structure to gain access of its unique characteristics. When recycle solution with flow rate of 22 mL/min and artificial sewage with flow rate of 2~10 mL/min were fed into two reactors in aerobic state, the average $COD_{cr}$, removal rate for biodegradation of SFBBR was greater than VFBBR. After reactor feed sewage was constantly maintained as flow rate of 4 mL/min and the recycle solution were changed to 10~32 mL/min respectively, the average $COD_{cr}$ removal rate of artificial sewage in SFBBR was greater than VFBBR. In this experiment for addition of support media into two reactors SFBBR was 4.1% excellent than VFBBR. Above all, SFBBR excelled VFBBR in boidegradation of organic matter in sewage.

In this study, unstable CaO was converted into a stable Ca compound by using carbonation in a circulating fluidized bed boiler of fly ash to confirm material usability as cement admixture; also undertaken was carbonation test and mortar to examine chemical and physical change by measuring absorption rate and compressive strength. To investigate the chemical properties of circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash, XRD and TG-DTA were used to determine how the properties of the reaction product change quantitatively during carbonation. In order to stabilize CaO, carbonation of CaO is considered to be the most desirable process. This is because $CaCO_3$, which is a Ca compound, was produced by carbonate reaction of unstable CaO, and decrease of the absorption rate and improvement of the compressive strength were observed when the carbonated fly ash was replaced with cement.

In the present work, a reaction of sulfur removal and simulation of desulfurization based on the grain model and two-phase theory were studied using natural manganese ore (NMO) as a sorbent in a continuous fluidized bed reactor. The effect of desulfurization was investigated through the grain model considered the change of pore structure as a function of desulfurization time, particle size of NMO, and diffusion velocity of $SO_2$ in the pores. Among these parameters, the diffusion of $SO_2$ in the pores of NMO was the most important factor. Moreover, the reaction of sulfur removal and desulfurization in a continuous fluidized bed reactor using NMO as a sorbent could be well predict through the grain model and two-phase theory, respectively.

To compare reduction reactivity of oxygen carrier particles, $CH_4$ combustion characteristics were measured and investigated in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor with increasing $CH_4$ concentration from 10 to 100 %. Among five oxygen carriers (OC-1, OC-2, SDN70, C14, C28), OC-1, OC-2, SDN70 particles were selected as better oxygen carriers from the viewpoints of fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity. However, some oxygen carriers showed lower fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity even though they have high oxygen transfer capacity. Therefore, we could conclude that not only TGA tests to measure the oxygen transfer capacity but also fluidized bed tests to analyze exhaust gas concentration should be performed to select better oxygen carrier without misunderstanding of carriers reactivity.

For the last 2 decades, the bonding materials for the foundry sand and the foundry equipments with high performance have been developed and employed in the foundry shops. In those periods, the furan resins hardened in higher temperature have been replaced with the self-hardened ones in the room temperature. Simultaneously the various reclamation methods of the self-hardened furan resin sand have been developed in order to get the clean working environments, the reduction of solid wastes and the lower of production cost in the foundry. In this experimental study, the combustion reclamation method using the fluidized bed among the various methods was studied in order to reduce the L.O.I. and /or $N_2$ gas due to the deposition of the furan resins and the hardeners. Comparing the results of this experimental combustion reclamation method with those of the employed pneumatic method, the Surface Stability Index of the specimen made by combustion method is 30% higher than that of the latter one and L.O.I. decreases about 30%. The reclamation temperature of 650$^{\circ}C$ in this experimental fluidized bed would be recommended in the viewpoints of the reclamation period, the fuel consumption and the residual quantity of the furan resin. The formula determining the minimum fluidizing velocities according to the temperatures in the fluidized bed has been obtained.

A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055m I.D. and 1.0m in height was employed for the thermocatalytic decomposition of propane to produce $CO_2$-free hydrogen. The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbons from the reactor. The propane decomposition rate used carbon black N33O as a catalyst. The propane decomposition reaction was carried out at the temperature range of $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, paropane gas velocity of $1.0 U_{mf}\;3.0U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. Effect of operating parameters such as reaction temperature, gas velocity on the reaction rates was investigated. The carbon which was by-product of methane decomposition reaction was deposited on the catalyst surface that was observed by SEM. Resulting production in our experiment were not only hydrogen but also several by products such as methane, ethylene, ethane, and propylene.
