Fly ash, by-product from coal fired power station, has long been regarded as a potential contamination source for heavy metals and inorganics due to their enriched concentrations and associations with particle surface. Feed coal and fly ash samples were collected from two power stations; Yongdong deliang with domestic anthracite coals and Boryong with imported bituminous coals. The coal and fly ash samples were analyzed for chemical composition and mineral components, using XRF and XRD. Batch leaching experiments were conducted by agitating samples with deionised water for 24 hours. Anthracite coals are generally higher in Al and Si contents than bituminous coals. This is due to the higher ash contents of the anthracite coal than bituminous coal. The chemistry of the two fly ash samples shows broadly similar compositions each other, except for the characteristically high contents of Cr in anthracite coal fly ash. Leaching experiments revealed that concentrations of metals gradually decreased with leachings in general. However, measurable amounts of metals were present in the effluent from weathered ash and the samples subjected to the leaching procedure. These metals are likely to indicate that the metals in fly ash were incorporated into glass fraction as well as associated with particle surface of samples. Dissolution of aluminosilicate glass would control releasing heavy metals from fly ash as weathering progresses during landfill with implication of possible groundwater contamination through fly ash landfill.

The amount of coal ash has been increasing and development of effective use is urgently needed. Various by-products and waste are expected to be used as resources from the point of reduction in environmental load. This is an experimental study to compare the properties of high volume coal ash concrete using the reclaimed coal ash. For this purpose, authors have started work to develop a production method of hardening coal ash concrete. Laboratory tests show that the optimum mixture of coal ash concrete can be determined from multiple regression analysis. According to test results, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete can be determined by a single curve. And it is obtained from the analysis of the results tested for concrete with the ratio of total power to water and amount of land reclamation ash.

The effect of high ash coal which has relatively high ash content and low combustibility on unburned carbon and NOx emission was experimentally investigated at several excess air ratio and particle size conditions of four coals containing different ash content in a drop tube furnace. Flue gas was measured by Gas analyzer in order to figure out unburned carbon characteristics. The results show that the higher content of ash makes the higher unburned carbon rate, subsequent changes in NOx emission characteristics was investigated.

최근 화력발전 보일러의 운전에 있어서 저등급 석탄의 성분 중 ash의 영향으로 보일러 후단부에서 생성되는 slagging/fouling 문제가 많이 보고 되고 원인 규명 및 해결책을 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 환경적 측면에서도 NOx등 환경적인 문제를 발생시키는 부분에 대해 규제를 가하고 있는 상황이다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법 중 하나인 석탄의 ash를 제거한 AFC(Ash Free Coal)을 활용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. AFC는 저등급탄의 발열량을 높여 기존의 고등급탄을 보완하고 slagging/fouling 문제 및 배출가스의 오염성분을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, DTF를 이용하여 KCH 원탄과 원탄에서 추출된 무회분탄1, 무회분탄2, 잔탄, Glencore, Glencore과 잔탄을 85:15 비율로 한 혼탄을 이용하여 미연분, NOx 배출특성의 변화와 회 점착 특성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 무회분탄은 원탄과 잔탄에 비해 NOx 배출량이 현저히 낮고, 잔탄은 원탄에 비해 고등급화 되면서 반응성이 훨씬 좋아짐을 확인 하였다. 잔탄과 혼탄의 경우 일반적인 저열량탄 수준보다 낮은 점착성을 나타내는 것을 확인 하였다.

본 연구는 고회분탄의 최적화된 연소 조건을 알아보기 위해 회분 함량이 각기 다른 네 종류 석탄의 연소시 배출되는 NOx및 미연분 특성을 알아보았다. 실험은 DTF(Drop Tube Furnace)를 통해서 다양한 입자크기조건 및 공기다단방식을 도입하여 수행하였다. 결과로 회분의 함량이 증가할수록 미연분이 증가하며, 입자크기가 증대될수록 미연분에 대한 회분의 영향이 명확해짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 회분의 함량이 증가할수록 Char-NOx가 감소하며, 입자크기가 감소할수록 NOx의 배출이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 고회분탄의 NOx를 저감하는 방법으로 공기다단방식의 적용을 제안하며 전단 연소 영역의 공기과잉률 변화를 통한 최적화된 연소조건을 제시하였다.

For substitution for crushed sand, high strength aggregate for cement and concrete using coal ash as a main material was prepared and then compared its physical properties with those of crushed sand. Effect of mix proportion change of raw materials on the property of aggregate was checked. On the basis of these experimental results we are going to comprehend the reutilization of coal ash and utilize a basic data for judging possibility the substitution of crushed sand.

Bottom ash, which is discharged through a wet process in a thermal power plant, contains much unburned coal due to quenching and much salt due to seawater. However, dry bottom ash discharged through a dry process contains low unburned coal and salt, and has light -weight due to many pores. Therefore, it is expected that it can be used as lightweight aggregate. This study deals with the basic properties of concrete used dry bottom ash as coarse aggregate. As a results, the concrete having high content of dry bottom ash aggregate showed high slump by using water reducing agent and its air content was within 5±1.5% as designed value, similarly to normal weight concrete. It also showed a lower compressive strength than 100% of crushed stone.

The electrical resistivity of sinter dusts generated from the steel industry and coal fly ash from the coal power plant has been investigated using the high voltage conductivity cell based on JIS B 9915 as a function of temperature and water content. Dust characterization such as the chemical composition, size distribution, atomic concentration, and surface structure has been conducted. Major constituents of sinter dusts were Fe$_2$O$_3$(40∼74.5%), CaO (6.4∼8.2%), SiO$_2$(4.1∼6.0%), and unburned carbon (7.0∼14.7%), while the coal fly ash consisted of mainly SiO$_2$(51.4%), Al$_2$O$_3$(24.1%), and Fe$_2$O$_3$(10.5%). Size distributions of the sinter dusts were bi-modal in shape and the mass median diameters (MMD) were in the range of 24.7∼137㎛, whereas the coal fly ash also displayed bi-modal distribution and the MMD of the coal fly ash was 35.71㎛. Factors affecting resistivity of dusts were chemical composition, moisture content, particle size, gas temperature, and surface structure of dust. The resistivity of sinter dusts was so high as 10(sup)15 ohm$.$cm at 150$\^{C}$ that sinter dust would not precipitate well. The resistivity of the coal fly ash was measured 1012 ohm$.$cm at about 150$\^{C}$. Increased water contents of the ambient air lowered the dust resistivity because current conduction was more activated for absorption of water vapor on the surface layer of the dust.

Various approaches have been proposed to predict the ash deposition (slagging and fouling) propensity of coal, which is essential in maintaining high efficiency and preventing corrosion/damage of a coal-fired boiler. The common method is to establish an index of the ash deposition propensity based on elementary coal composition and advanced characterization of ash properties, which is readily applicable to design, operation and maintenance of coal-fired boilers. Although many indexes have been developed for this purpose, their validity is still not satisfactory in actual applications to particular coal types or operating conditions. This paper reviews the status of predictive approaches for the ash deposition propensity, and assesses the performance of existing indexes by comparing the results for selected coals. This work will contribute to the development of a comprehensive and practical method for prediction of the ash deposition propensity.

The development of a low cost catalyst with high performance and small amount of carbon deposition on catalyst from toluene steam reforming were investigated by using coal ash as a support material. Ni-loaded coal ash catalyst showed similar catalytic activity for toluene steam reforming compared with the Ni/Al2O3. At 800 ℃, the toluene conversion was 77% for Ni/TAL, 68% for Ni/KPU and 78% for Ni/Al2O3. Ni/TAL showed similar toluene conversion to Ni/Al2O3. However, Ni/KPU produced higher hydrogen yield at relatively lower toluene conversion. Ni/KPU catalyst showed a remarkable ability of suppressing the carbon deposition. The difference in coke deposition and hydrogen yield is due to the composition of KPU ash (Ca and Fe) which increase coke resistance and water gas shift reaction. This study suggests that coal ash catalysts have great potential for the application in the steam reforming of biomass tar.
