The mounting technology of ceramic candle elements utilizing disk spring was tested in a hot bench unit. Seven SiC candle elements were fixed in three groups by 2, 2, and 3 elements per group. And its performance was investigated in a hot gas stream using oil burned-exhaust gas. The experimental results showed that this mounting method gave a good performance enough to be useful for the particulate removal in the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC). Some operational characteristics of the groupfilter were observed.

Ash included in coal can cause environmental pollution and it can decrease efficiency of mass and heat transfer by getting scorched and stick in the facilities operated at high temperature. To solve this problem, a feasibility study on pulverized coal fired power plant and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) using the AFC (Ash-Free Coal) as well as the development to remove the ash from the coal was conducted. In this research, optimization of operating condition was proposed by using sensitivity analysis of ASPEN $Plus^{(R)}$ to apply the coal containing under the 200 ppm ash for integrated gasification combined cycle. Particularly, the coal gasification process was classified as three parts : pyrolysis process, volatile matter combustion process and char gasification process. The dimension and operating condition of 1.5 ton/day class non-slagging gasifier are reflected in the coal gasification process model.

Coal gasification is heading for a great future as one of the cleanest energy sources, which can produce not only electricity and heat, but also gaseous and liquid fuels from the synthesis. The work focuses on 300MW shell type one-stage entrained flow coal gasifier which is used in the Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC) plant as a reactor. As constructing an IGCC plant is considerably complicated and expensive compared with a pulverized-coal power plant, it is important to determine optimum design factors and operating conditions using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. In this study, the results of numerical calculations show that $O_2$/Coal ratio, 0.83, Steam/Coal ratio, 0.05, coal particle diameter, $100{\mu}m$, injection angle, $4^{\circ}$ (clockwise) are the most optimum in this research.

This study is a fundamental study to utilize CGS from the IGCC as a fine aggregate for concrete. According to the study, the chemical composition of KS F 2527 was reviewed. The results showed that the KS F 2527 standard was generally satisfied, but the content of the sulfur trioxide(SO₃) exceeded the limit set by the molten slag. The possibility was found to be a fine metal based on chemicals other than sulfur trioxide(SO3).

This study is a fundamental consideration for using CGS from the IGCC as a fine aggregate for concrete. For the review, the physical properties and hazardous materials content of KS F 2527 were considered. The results showed that KS F 2527 standard was generally satisfied, making it possible to confirm the possibility that it is a fine metal considering its physical properties and hazardous materials content characteristics.

In this study, Coal gasification slag(CGS) was replaced with fine aggregate to verify the physical properties of the concrete according to the change in cement types. As a result of the study, the use of CGS resulted in a decrease of superplasticizer and an decrease of AE agent. In addition, when 50% of mixed cement and CGS were replaced, the initial strength expression was delayed, and the strength enhancing effect was judged to be weak.

Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is an environment friendly method of using coal. Several commercial IGCC plants have been built worldwide during the past decade, and a domestic development project has also been launched recently. Operation and performance characteristics of a gas turbine in the IGCC plant deviates from those of original gas turbines due to several factors such as increased amount of fuel supply and integration with other components. In this study, performance of a gas turbine in the IGCC plant is analyzed considering its integration with the air separation unit (ASU). Influence of the degree of integration (split of air supplies to ASU from the auxiliary compressor and the gas turbine compressor) on the system performance is investigated. In addition, effect of modulating nitrogen return flow from the gasifier to the gas turbine on the operating characteristics of the gas turbine is examined.

A geopolymer was produced from coal ash generated from an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant and its water resistance was evaluated. For this purpose, the geopolymer specimens were immersed in water for 30 days to measure changes in microstructure and alkalinity of the immersion liquid. Particularly, the experiment was carried out with foaming status of the geopolymers and parameters of room temperature aging condition, and immersion time. The foamed geopolymer containing 0.1 wt% Si-sludge had pores with a diameter of 1 to 3 mm and exhibited excellent foamability. Also, the calcium-silicate-hydrate crystal phase appeared in the foamed geopolymer. In the geopolymer immersion experiment, the pH of the immersion liquid increased with time, because the un-reacted alkali activator remained was dissolved in the immersion liquid. From the pH change of the immersion liquid, it was found that geopolymer reaction in the foamed specimen was completed faster than the non-foamed specimen. Through this study, it was possible to successfully produce foamed and non-foamed geopolymers recycled from IGCC coal ash. Also the necessary data for the safe application of IGCC coal ash-based geopolymers to areas where water resistance is needed were established; for example, the process conditions for room temperature aging time, effect of foaming status, immersion time and so on.

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system is well known for its high efficiency compared with that of other coal fueled power generation system. IGCC offers substantial advantages over pulverized coal combustion when carbon capture and storage (CCS) is required. Commercial plants employ different types of quenching system to meet the purpose of the system. Depending on that, the downstream units of IGCC can be modeled using different operating conditions and units. In case with $CO_2$ separation and capture, the gasifier product must be converted to hydrogen-rich syngas using Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction. In most WGS processes, the water gas shift reactor is the biggest and heaviest component because the reaction is relatively slow compared to the other reactions and is inhibited at higher temperatures by thermodynamics. In this study, tehchno-econimic assessments were found according to the quench types and operating conditions in the WGS system. These results can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of coal gasification.

석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC; Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) 공정이 80년대 들어 선진외국을 중심으로 석탄발전기술로 많이 연구되고 실용화를 위해 막대한 자금을 국가주도로 투입하고 있는 이유는 IGCC공정이 고체시료인 석탄을 가장 환경적합적으로 쓸 수 있는 방법이라고 판단하였기 때문이다. 또한, 장기적으로 연료전지에 석탄가스를 연계시키면 플랜트효율이 60%에 달하면서 현재까지 알려진 석탄이용 발전기술의 모든 idea중에서 가장 환경오염을 저감시킬 수 있는 향후 50년 이상을 내다볼 수 있는 발전기술이기 때문에 기술개발에 선진 각국이 국가적으로 노력하고 있는 것이다.
