The low rank coal combustion and biomass-coal co-firing characteristics were reviewed on this study for the power plant construction. The importance of using low rank coal(LRC) for power plant is increasing gradually due to power generation economy and biomass co-firing is also concentrated as power source because it has carbon neutral characteristics to reduce green-house effect. The combustion characteristics of low rank coal and biomass for a 310MW coal firing power plant and a 100MW biomass and coal co-firing power plant were studied to apply into actual power plant design and optimized the furnace and burner design.

In order to select an optimum gasifier for specific low rank coal, evaluation elements were studied by analyzing characteristics of low rank coal compared with those of high rank coal and the effects of each gasifier type in accordance with the characteristics. And syngas composition calculation model was made on the basis of thermochemical equilibrium to quantify some of the evaluation elements. And then the suitable gasifier was selected for a kind of Indonesian low rank coal through this syngas composition calculation model and the evaluation elements of selecting gasifier.

These days, coal is one of the most important energy resources used for transportation, industry, and electricity. There are two types of coal: high-rank and low-rank. Low-rank coal has a low calorific value and contains large amounts of useless moisture. The quality of low-rank coal can be increased by simple drying technology and it needs to be stabilized by hydrocarbons (e.g. palm acid oil, PAO) to prevent spontaneous combustion and moisture re-adsorption. Spontaneous combustion becomes a major problem during coal mining, storage, and transportation. It can involve the loss of life, property, and economic value; reduce the quality of the coal; and increase greenhouse gas emissions. Besides spontaneous combustion, moisture re-adsorption also leads to a decrease in quality of the coal due to its lower heating value. In this work, PAO was used for additive to stabilize the upgraded coal. The objectives of the experiments were to determine the stabilization characteristic of coal by analyzing the behavior of upgraded coal by drying and PAO addition regarding crossing-point temperature of coal, the moisture behavior of briquette coal, and thermal decomposition behavior of coal.

저등급석탄을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 고품위화 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 저등급석탄을 건조시켜 고발열량 석탄으로 제조하는 과정에서 자연발화에 대한 안정화를 위해 중질유를 분무 코팅하는 방법을 적용하였다. 수분 30wt% 이상의 저등급석탄을 고품위화하여 6,000 kcal/kg 이상의 고발열량 석탄을 제조하였으며, 중질유 분무 코팅을 통해 자연발화에 대한 안정성을 확인하였다. 중질유 분무 코팅의 방법은 석탄을 건조시킨 후 분무 코팅하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 자연발화에 대한 충분한 안정성을 갖기 위해서는 중질유를 2wt% 이상 석탄 표면에 흡착시켜야 하는 것으로 나타 났다.

Spontaneous ignition tests of five different coals with non-iso-thermal and iso-thermal test method based on the standard test procedure of NF T20-036 were carried. These five coals included the 2 low rank coals and 3 bituminous coals. Test results showed that the ignition temperatures of all coals at the iso-thermal conditions were higher than that of non-isothermal condition, and those of low rank SM and BR coal in both nonisothermal and isothermal conditions were lower than bituminous AN and CN coals. The chemical species of coals such as oxygen and hematite also plays an important role in enhancing the ignition rate that the ignition temperature of SM coal was lowered. The heat accumulation tendency of five coals inside outdoor stack pile was monitored with emphasis on the change in the temperature of the coal depth in stack pile. In case of low rank BR coal, its temperature inside coal stack pile due to the rate of high heat accumulation and oxidation was $59^{\circ}C$ compared to $51^{\circ}C$ for other SW bituminous coal. And the heat accumulation rate inside coal stack piles was increased with increased the Cp value which it was defined as the specific heat of coal at constant pressure, whereas other factors such as thermal diffusivity and conductivity of coal relatively had less effect on heat accumulation.

Due to the increasing demand of high rank coal, the use of low rank coal, which has economically advantage, is rising in various industries using carbonaceous solid fuels. In addition, the severe disaster of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is becoming more serious. The Republic of Korea set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by supporting the use of biomass from the Paris International Climate Change Conference and the 8th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand. In line with these worldwide trends, this paper focuses on investigating the combustibility of high rank coal Carboone, low rank coal Adaro from Indonesia, Baganuur from Mongolia and, In biomass, wood pellet and herbaceous type Kenaf were simulated as kinetic reactivity model. The accuracy of the pore development model were compared with experimental result and analyzed using carbon conversion and tau with grain model, random pore model, and flexibility-enhanced random pore model. In row lank coal and biomass, FERPM is well-matched kinetic model than GM and RPM to using numerical simulations.

The fractures in coal are the main migration and output channels of coalbed methane, directly influencing the permeability of the coal seams. It is of great significance to study the effect of fracture distribution in coals on the permeability of coal seam. The development rules of endogenetic and exogenetic fractures are different among various coal lithotypes. There is also difference in the fracture density for the same lithotype with different thicknesses. Through the observation and description of the macroscopic fractures in coal and the origin of fractures in coal, the effect of the coal lithotype and its thickness on fracture development in coal was discussed. It was found through the study that the density of fractures in vitrain band was the maximum for the same coal rank and thickness, followed by clarain band. There were few fractures developed in the durain band. However, the changes of fracture density in three types of bands presented different declining trends for low, medium and high coal rank. There were no fractures developed in the fusain. There were three variation patterns for the fracture densities at the same coal rank and coal lithotype: linear decrease, nonlinear decrease, and first decrease then remaining unchanged. However, the overall trend was that the fracture density decreased with the increase of thickness of coal band for the same coal rank and coal lithotype.

본 연구에서는 팜 잔사유를 이용하여 고품위화된 저등급 석탄의 건조 안정화 특성을 알아보았다. 인도네시아 저등급 석탄인 에코탄을 사용하였고, 팜지방산증류물(palm fatty acid distillate, PFAD)을 혼합시킨 후 $107^{\circ}C$ 질소분위기에서 건조하였으며 그 후에 안정화 특성을 평가하였다. 교차점온도(crossing-point temperature, CPT) 측정을 통해 자연발화 경향을 확인하였으며, 저온산화 실험을 통해 $CO_2$, CO 가스 배출량은 건조석탄보다 고품위 석탄이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 수분 재흡착 실험을 통해 고품위 석탄이 대기방치와 항온항습 분위기에서 수분 재흡착이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 고품위화된 석탄은 PFAD의 표면코팅을 통해 안정화 되며, 함량이 증가할수록 안정화도가 높아졌다.

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 연구에서는 석탄 종류, 저등급석탄으로부터 첨가제의 종류, 입도분포 및 건조 방법에 따른 석탄-물 혼합연료(coal water fuel, CWF)의 고체함유량을 높이고자 하였다. 건조 방법에는 열풍 건조 방법(flash drying, FD), 유동층 건조 방법(fluidized bed, FB), 유중 건조 방법(oil deposit stabilized, ODS)을 사용하였다. 석탄 종류에 의해서 고체함유량 차이는 최대 20% 이상 보였다. 또한, CWF을 제조할 때 넣어주는 첨가제의 종류를 다르게 하여 실험한 결과 첨가제에 의해서 5%까지 효율을 더 높일 수 있었다. 석탄의 입도분포는 $75{\mu}m$ 이하의 미분탄이 80% 함유되어야 CWF의 성능이 향상되는 것을 관찰하였다. 3가지 건조 방법을 활용하여 CWF를 제조해본 결과, 안정화시킨 유중 건조 석탄이 원탄에 비하여 12% 정도 더 높은 고체함유량을 갖는 CWF를 제조할 수 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.
