Coal gasification technology is considered as next generation clean coal technology even though it uses coal as fuel which releases huge amount of greenhouse gas because it has many advantages for carbon capture. Coal or pet-coke slurry gasification is very attractive technology at present and in the future because of its low construction cost and flexibility of slurry feeding system in spite of lower efficiency compared to dry feeding technology. In this study, we carried out gasification experiment using bituminous coal slurry sample by integrating coal slurry feeding facility and slurry burner into existing dry feeding compact gasifier. Especially, our experiment was conducted under fairly lower operation temperature than that of existing entrained-bed gasifier, resulting in partial slagging operation mode in which only part of ash was converted to slag and the rest of ash was released as fly ash. Carbon conversion rate was calculated from data analysis of collected slag and ash, and then cold gas efficiency, which is the most important indicator of gasifier performance, was estimated by carbon mass balance method. Fairly high performance considering pilot-scale experiment, 98.5% of carbon conversion and 60.4% of cold gas efficiency, was achieved. In addition, soundness of experimental result was verified from the comparison with chemical equilibrium composition and energy balance calculations.

To find a suitable metal component in oxygen carrier particles for chemical-looping hydrogen generation system(CLH), oxygen transfer capacities of metal components were compared and Ni has been selected as the best metal component. The proper operating conditions to achieve high hydrogen generation rate have been investigated based on the chemical-equilibrium composition analysis for water splitting reactor. Moreover, suitable compositions of syngas from gasifier of heavy residue to achieve high energy efficiency have been investigated by calculation of heat of reaction. Based on the selected operating conditions, the best configuration of two interconnected fluidized beds system for the chemical-looping hydrogen generator has been investigated as well.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate gasification process of wood sawdust in the I-dimensional downdraft fixed bed gasifier. The preheated air was used oxidizer and steam were used as a gasifying agent. The operating parameters, the supplied air temperature and steam were used. The oxidizer temperature was varied from 500K to 620K and vapor was added. The gasification process was monitored by measuring temperature at three position near the biomass using R-type thermocouples and the syngas composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph. The change of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane was observed. Overall, the volume fraction of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

석탄 가스화기술은 기존의 연소 방식에서 발생하는 공해 물질은 줄이면서 발생되어지는 합성가스를 이용하여 직접 사용하거나, IGCC나 CTL 공정등에서 원료로서 사용할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있어 석탄의 환경친화적인 이용을 위하여 오래전에 개발된 기술임에도 불구하고 최근 각광받고 있는 기술이다. 분류층 가스화기는 미분화된 석탄을 고온에서 가스화하는 방식으로 용량의 대형화가 가능하여 석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC)용으로 이용되고 있다. 석탄슬러리를 원료로 사용하는 습식 분류층 가스화기는 기술적으로 상당히 안정적이어서 가장 많이 보급되어진 가스화기 형태이다. 본 연구에서는 1.0T/D급 습식 분류상 가스화 장치의 가압 운전 특성 및 가스화 특성, 운전 조건을 파악하기 위하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 반응기는 운전 압력 30bar로 설계되었으며, Fuel의 공급량은 50~70kg/hr로 공급하였으며, $O_2$/fuel Ratio를 0.7~1.1까지 변경하여 Fuel 주입량에 따른 내부온도 분포와 $O_2$/Fuel 비율에 따른 합성가스의 조성, 탄소 전환율, 냉가스효율 변화 특성을 알아보았다.

IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) plants are among the most advanced and effective systems for electric energy generation. From a control perspective, IGCC plants represent a significant challenge: complex reactions, highly integrated control to simultaneously satisfy production, controllability, operability and environmental objectives. While all these requirements seem clearly to demand a multivatiable, model predictive approach, not many applications can be easily found in the literature. This paper describes the IGCC dynamic simulation that is capable of simulating plant startup, shutdown, normal, and abnormal operation and engineering studies. This high fidelity dynamic models contain the detailed process design data to produce realistic responses to process operation and upset. And the simulation is used by engineers to evaluate the transient performance and produce graphical information indicating the response of the process under study conditions.

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 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 affect 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 electron microscopy.

A new gasification model for coal char was developed considering the effects of pore structure and solid reaction product (ash) and compared with conventional models. Among various parameters reflecting microscopic pore structure, initial pore surface per unit volume of char was found to have the largest effect on carbon conversions. Reaction studies showed that the proposed model can predict carbon conversion more accurately over a broader range of reaction degree compared to the conventional models. Therefore the model proposed in this study would be useful for the design of pilot or commercial scale gasifiers.
