The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is one of the most promising proposed processes for advanced electric power generation that is likely to replace conventional coal combustion. This emerging technology will not only improve considerably the thermal efficiency but also reduce or eliminate the environmentally adverse effects normally associated with coal combustion. The IGCC process gasifies coal under reducing conditions with essentially all the sulfur existing in the form of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) in the product fuel gas. The need to remove $H_2S$ from coal derived fuel gases is a significant concern which stems from stringent government regulations and also, from a technical point of view and a need to protect turbines from corrosion. The waste seashells were used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from a hot gas stream. The sulphidation of waste seashells with $H_2S$ was studied in a thermogravimetric analyzer at temperature between $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. The desulfurization performance of the waste seashell sorbents was experimentally tested in a fixed bed reactor system. Sulfidation experiments performed under reaction conditions similar to those at the exit of a coal gasifier showed that preparation procedure and technique, the type and the amount of seashell, and the size of the seashell affects the $H_2S$ removal capacity of the sorbents. The pore structure of fresh and sulfided seashell sorbents was analyzed using mercury porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption, and scanning electronmicroscopy.

순산소 연소에서 $SO_2$ 농도는 배가스의 재순환으로 인해 기존의 공기연소에 비해 3배 이상 높게 나타나고, $CO_2$ 농도와 $SO_2$ 농도가 높기 때문에 탈황현상이 기존의 공기 연소와는 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 순산소 연소조건에서 로내탈황 특성을 알아보기 위해 Drop Tube Furnace(DTF)를 이용하여, 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비 등의 운전변수에 따른 $SO_2$ 제거효율을 측정하였으며 수분의 영향에 대해서도 알아보았다. 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비가 증가함에 따라 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 증가하였고 유입가스 내 수분이 존재할 경우 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 약 4~6% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

A flow uniformity in a duct cooler of duct system of FGD(Flue Gas Desulfurization) linking a reheater and a absorber has been investigated in the present study. For this purpose, the flow characteristics according to the geometry of a vertical and horizontal vane in a curved duct of the duct system has been examined with the aid of a numerical simulation. The results indicate that the vertical vane with a little deflection toward a recirculation region makes the flow distribution in the duct cooler more uniform than that without deflection, and horizontal vane does not effect the change of the flow distribution for an angle of inclination. The mean flow uniform factor shows its maximum for duct system without the vane(case NP) and its minimum for the vertical vane with a little deflection(case P-0.8-0) .

CCS($CO_2$ capture & storage) 기술의 하나인 순산소 석탄화력발전 시스템에서 시스템의 안정한 운전을 위하여 연소가스 재순환이 적용되게 된다. 연소가스 재순환시 황산화물 및 분진의 농축이 발생되게 되며 일반적인 화력발전 시스템에서 탈황 및 집진과는 다른 형태의 운전조건을 나타내게 되므로 상용 석탄화력 발전소에 적용하기에 앞서 관련 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 순산소 석탄 연소 시스템에서 황산화물 및 분진의 효과적인 제거를 위하여 석회석을 이용한 로내탈황 및 고온 전기집진에 관한 기초적인 연구를 수행하였다. 석회석을 이용한 로내탈황에서 ash에 의한 탈황효과를 포함하여 60%의 탈황효율을 나타내었고 전기집진의 경우에는 $CO_2$ 비율이 높을수록 분진입자의 크기가 클수록 코로나 전류량의 감소로 인하여 집진효율이 저하하는 것으로 나타났다.

Current desulfurization and denitrification technologies have reached a considerable level in terms of reduction efficiency. However, when compared with the simultaneous reduction technology, the individual reduction technologies have issues such as economic disadvantages due to the difficulty to scale-up apparatus, secondary pollution from wastewater/waste during the treatment process, requirement of large facilities for post-treatment, and increased installation costs. Therefore, it is necessary to enable practical application of simultaneous SOx and NOx treatment technologies to remove two or more contaminants in one process. The present study analyzes a technology capable of maintaining simultaneous treatment of SOx and NOx even at low temperatures due to the electrochemically generated strong oxidation of the wet-pulse complex system. This system also reduces unreacted residual gas and secondary products through the wet scrubbing process. It addresses common problems of the existing fuel gas treatment methods such as SDR, SCR, and activated carbon adsorption (i.e., low treatment efficiency, expensive maintenance cost, large installation area, and energy loss). Experiments were performed with varying variables such as pulse voltage, reaction temperature, chemicals and additives ratios, liquid/gas ratio, structure of the aeration cleaning nozzle, and gas inlet concentration. The performance of individual and complex processes using the wet-pulse discharge reaction were analyzed and compared.

오리멀젼은 중유에 비해 황과 바나듐의 함유량은 높지만 경제성과 가채매장량이 우수하여 세계 여러나라에서 중유발전시설의 대체 에너지원으로 생각되고 있다. 국내 Y화력발전소에서 오리멀젼을 발전시설을 가동하고 있으나, 가시백연이 많이 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하고자 가시백연을 저감하는 일반적인 방법인 MgO 주입법을 시도하였으나 공급라인의 플러깅과 같은 잦은 고장이 발생하여 효과적인 가시백연 저감을 이루지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가시백연의 원인을 파악하여, 추후 지속연구를 통해 가시백연을 저감하는 방법을 제안하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 공정 데이터를 검토하였고, 전기집진기(EP, Electrostatic Precipitator) 전단, 배연가스탈황장치(FGD, Fuel Gas Desulfurization) 전단, 굴뚝자료모니터링시스템(TMS, Telecommunications Management System) 전단에서 각각 미세입자를 실측하여 입도분포를 확인하였다. 이를 통해 wet-FGD 내의 $SO_3$로 인한 입자의 재성장이 가시백연을 유발한다는 것을 밝혔다.

Gasification has been regarded as a core technology in dealing with environmental pollutants and in obtaining higher efficiency for power generation. Among several ways in utilizing produced syngas from gasification, power generation would be the most prominent application. Syngas from coal was applied to the readily available LPG engine from automobiles. Main purpose was to identify the combustion characteristics in the modified gas engine when using syngas of low heating value and to test the modification optionsin the LPG gas engine. Gas engine rpm and the corresponding flue gas composition were measured for each syngas input condition. Results showed that even with syngas at the heating value of $1300{\sim}1800$ kcal/$Nm^3$ corresponding to the $6{\sim}7%$ of LPG heating value, gas engine operated successfully only with the problems of high CO and oxygen concentrations in the flue gas.

Automobile industry has been developed rapidly as a key manufacturing industry in Korea. Meanwhile, air pollution is getting worse noticeably than ever. In the diesel emission, PM (Particulate Matter) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) have been exhausted with a great amount and the corresponding emission regulations are getting stringent. In order to develop low emission engines, it is necessary to research on better qualified fuels. Sulfur contained in fuel is transformed to sulfur compound by DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and then it causes to the increase of sulfate-laden PM on the surface of catalyst. In this research, ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) is used as a fuel and some experimental results are investigated. ULSD can reduce not only PM but also gas materials because cetane value, flash point, distillation 90%, pour point and viscosity are improved in the process of desulfurization. However, excessively reduced sulfur may cause to decease lubricity of fuel and engine performance in fuel injection system. Therefore, it requires only modest adjusted amount of sulfur can improve engine performance and DOC, as well as decrease of emission.

A lot of parts in FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) systems of fossil-fuel power plants show the environments in which are highly changeable and extremely acidic corrosive medium according to time and locations, e.g. in duct works, coolers and re-heaters etc. These conditions are formed when system materials are immersed in fluid that flows on them or when exhausted gas is condensed into thin layered acidic medium to contact materials of the system walls and roofs. These environments make troublesome corrosion and air pollution problems that are occurred from the leakage of the condensed solution. To cathodically protect the metallic structures in extremely acidic fluid, the properties of the protective coatings on the metal surface were very important, and epoxy Novolac coating was applied in this work. On the base of acid immersion tests, hot sulfuric acid decreased the hardness of the coatings and reduced greatly the content of $Na_2O$, $Al_2O_3$, and $SiO_2$ among the main components of the coating. A special kind of CP(Cathodic Protection) system has been developed and tested in a real scale of the FGD facility. Applied coating for this CP system was peeled off and cracked in some parts of the facility. However, the exposed metal surface to extremely acidic fluid by the failure of the coatings was successfully protected by the new CP system.
