황함유량이 높아 독성 폐기물로서 분류되는 석유코크스를 역청탄 및 아역청탄과 혼합하여 가스화 공정을 통해 액체연료를 생산하는 공정의 경제성을 분석하였다. 공정의 경제성을 분석하기 위한 2,000 톤/일 규모의 액화 공정은 가스화, 정제, Fischer-Tropsch 전환 등으로 이루어진다. 기발표된 자료들로부터 적절한 검토 기준을 통해 건설비용 및 매출액을 산정하였고 석유코크스/석탄의 혼합비에 따른 경제성을 평가하였다. 경제성 평가 결과, 원소황의 생산과 판매 증가로 인해서 석유코크스의 경제성이 석탄보다 우수했으며 수분 함량이 낮은 역청탄과의 혼합이 보다 높은 경제성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 아역청탄의 경우, IRR (Internal rate of return)이 10% 이상이 되기 위해서는 석유코크스와의 혼합이 적어도 40 wt% 이상이 되어야 함을 확인하였다.

The installation of light oil facilities or delayed cokers seems to be inevitable in the oil refinery industry due to the heavy crude oil reserves and the increased use of light fuels as petroleum products. Petroleum coke is a byproduct of oil refineries and it has higher fixed carbon content, higher calorific value, and lower ash content than coal. However, its sulfur content and heavy metal content are higher than coal. In spite of disadvantages, petroleum coke might be one of promising resources due to gasification processes. The gasification of petroleum coke can improve economic value of oil refinery industries by handling cheap, toxic wastes in an environment-friendly way. In this study, $CO_2$ gasification reaction kinetics of petroleum coke, various coals and mixing coal with petroleum coke have investigated and been compared by using TGA. The kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification has been performed with petroleum coke, 3 kinds of bituminous coal [BENGALLA, White Haven, TALDINSKY], and 3 kinds of sub-bituminous coal [KPU, LG, MSJ] at various temperature[$1100-1400^{\circ}C$].

Korea's energy consumption has been constantly increasing. Final energy consumption was increased by anannual average of 2.9% compared to 2010. The consumption of all energy sources except for its oil was increased during the same time. While electric demand has increased coal consumption increased rapidly. Therefore, calorfic value and carbon emission factor development can improve the quality of Korea's greenhouse gas inventory. Calorific value is the amount of heat generated while burning coal. Caloric value is one of the most important factors in the development of carbon emission factors. Calorific value is used as the basis for the analysis of the various energy statistics. This study has calculated the sub-bituminous coal's calorfic value by the data received from domestic coal-fired power plants. Calorofic value's trend analysis period is the year of 2011~2015. Through analyzing the carbon content it was calculated the carbon emission factor. The sub-bituminous coal's uncertainty analysis was performed using a Monte Carlo simulation.

본 연구에서는 촤 연소 시에 분위기 가스 변화에 따른 연소 반응 변화를 수직 관형 연소로를 이용하여 실험적으로 측정해 보았다. 실험 조건으로 아역청탄인 Adaro탄과 역청탄인 Coal valley탄을 사용하였고, 두 탄을 $O_2/CO_2$조건과 $O_2/N_2$조건에서 온도를 900, 1100, $1300^{\circ}C$, 산소 분압을 12, 21, 30%로 변화를 주어 촤 반응성 실험을 수행하였다. 순산소 조건과 일반 대기 조건을 비교하였을 경우 순산소 조건일 때 입자온도와 총괄 반응량이 낮게 나타나는 경향을 보였지만, 입자 표면에서의 반응률을 계산한 결과, 분위기 가스의 영향과 상관없이 거의 동일한 경향을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 조건에서의 촤 연소 반응을 위한 반응 속도 상수 및 활성화 에너지 역시 분위기 가스의 영향과 상관없이 유사한 값을 가지는 것으로 확인하였다. 전반적으로 Adaro탄이 Coal valley탄보다 입자 온도와 총괄 반응량이 높게 나타났다.

Combustion test on two kinds of Indonesian sub-bituminous coals of single and blended with bituminous coal imported for power generation was carried out by using the test furnace at KEPRI. The main items of combustion test were temperature profiles of the inside furnace, the yield of unburned carbon, environmental pollution emissions, slagging/fouling tendency, and the comparison of heat loss of furnace. The test results showed that low sulfur and ash content characterized by the Indonesian coals were advantageous to environmental aspect, but high tendency of heat loss and slagging/fouling were disadvantageous to boiler operation. From the results, the necessity of proper coal blending to compensate these weak points was recommended.

The main purpose of this study is to develop the greenhouse gas emission factor for power plant using bituminous coal. The power plant is a major source of greenhouse gases among the sectors of fossil fuel combustion, thus information of its emission factors is very essential to the establishment of control strategies for the greenhouse gas emissions. These emission factors derived in this study were compared with those of U. S. EPA, AGO and CCL. The $CO_{2}$ concentrations in the flue gas were measured using NDIR analyser and the GC-FID with a methanizer. The amount of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) in fuel was measured using an elemental analyzer. Calorific values of fuel were also measured using a calorimeter. Caloric value of bituminous coal used in the power plants were 5,957 (as received basis), 6,591 (air-dried basis) and 6,960 kcal/kg (dry basis). Our estimates of carbon emission factors were lower than those of IPCC. The CO2 emission factors for the power plants using bituminous coal were estimated to be 0.791 Mg/MWh (by carbon contents and caloric value of the fuel) and 0.771 Mg/MWh (by $CO_{2}$ concentration of the flue gas). The $CO_{2}$ emission factors estimated in this study were $3.4\sim 5.4\%$ and $4.4\sim 6.7\%$ lower than those of CCL (2003) and U. S. EPA (2002).

분류층 석탄 가스화기에서 5 종류(Lewis-Stockton, Utah, Illinois #6 등의 역청탄, Usibelli 아역청탄, Beulah-Zap갈탄)의 석탄을 가스화시킬 때 산소/석탄과 수증기/석탄 비의 변화가 반응성 흐름에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 전산모사를 수행하였다. 산소/석탄의 비(kg/kg)를 0.7에서 1.4로, 수증기/석탄의 비(kg/kg)를 0.0에서 0.4로 각각 변화시키면서 생성가스인 CO와 H2의 농도 변화를 계산하였다. 또한 Roto탄을 가스화하였을 때 가스화기 출구에서의 CO와 H2의 실험값과 전산모사 예측값을 서로 비교·분석하여 모사결과의 타당성을 입증하였다. 모사결과 탄종에 관계없이 산소/석탄의 비가 증가함에 따라 CO와 H2의 생성량을 증가한 후 감소하였으며, 수증기/석탄의 비가 증가함에 따라 CO의 생성량은 감소하였으나 수소의 생성량은 어느 정도까지는 증가하였다. 산소/석탄의 비가 1.0∼1.2이고 수증기/석탄의 비가 0.3∼0.4인 범위내에서 냉가스 효율이 높게 예측되었다.

A numerical investigation has been carried out about the performance of a 500MW class tangentially coal-fired boiler, focusing on the optimization of separated overfire air (SOFA) position to reduce NOx emission. For this purpose, a comprehensive combination of NOx chemistry models has been employed in the numerical simulation of a particle-laden flow along with solid fuel combustion and heat and mass transfer. A reasonable agreement has been shown in baseline cases for predicted operational parameters compared with experimental data measured in the boiler. A further SOFA calculation has been made to obtain optimum elevation and position of SOFA port. Additionally, clarifying on the effect of SOFA on NOx emission has been carried out in the coal-fired boiler. As a result, this paper is valuable to provide an information about the optimum position of SOFA and the mechanism by which the SOFA would affect NOx emission.

New way to effectively capture $CO_2$ in coal fired power plant is the combustion of coal using oxy-fuel technology. Combustion characteristics of Minco sub-bituminous coal at oxy-fuel conditions using TGA and drop tube furnace (DTF) were included activation energy about the char burnout, volatile yield and combustion efficiency of raw coal, the porosity of pyrolyzed char and fusion temperature of by-product ash. TGA result shows that the effect of $CO_2$ on combustion kinetics reduces activation energy by approximately 7 kJ/mol at air oxygen level(21% $O_2$) and decreases the burning time by approximately 16%. The results from DTF indicated similar combustion efficiency under $O_2/CO_2$ and $O_2/N_2$ atmospheres for equivalent $O_2$ concentration whereas high combustion efficiency under $O_2/N_2$ than $O_2/CO_2$ was obtained for high temperature of more than $1,100^{\circ}C$. Overall coal burning rate under $O_2/CO_2$ is decreased due to the lower rate of oxygen diffusion into coal surface through the $CO_2$ rich boundary layer. By-product ash produced under $O_2/CO_2$ and $O_2/N_2$ was similar IDT in irrelevant to $O_2$ concentration and atmospheres gas during the coal combustion.

This paper focuses on the combustion characteristics of blended coals with bituminous and sub-bituminous coals under air and oxy-fuel combustion conditions. The effects of oxygen concentration and blending ratio on the combustion characteristics were experimentally investigated using a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA). Characteristic temperatures including ignition, burnout temperature and activation energy were determined from TG and DTG combustion profiles. As oxygen concentration increased and the presence of sub-bituminous coal, characteristic temperatures and activation energy decreased. The ignitability, reactivity and kinetics have all been greatly improved under oxy-fuel combustion conditions. Based on this, co-firing with bituminous and sub-bituminous coals under oxy-fuel combustion conditions may be suggested as an alternative method to the fuel flexibility and cost-effective power production with carbon capture and sequestration.
