Activated carbons were prepared from Korean coal by steam activation in this study. The variation of pore structure of the activated carbons were investigated according to different carbonization temperatures. Yield, surface area, pore volume and pore structure of this activated carbon were compared with those of activated carbon prepared without carbonization. The investigated carbonization temperature ranged from 700${\circ}C$ to 1,000${\circ}C$. Carbonization was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere for 70 minutes and activation was performed by steam at 950${\circ}C$ for 210 minutes. Surface area and pore volume of the resulting activated carbons increased with carbonization temperature. Also pore volume increased by 20% compared to the activated carbon without carbonization. Especially, in mesopore region, the activated carbon carbonized at 900${\circ}C$ had more pores by 60% than that of activated carbon carbonized at other temperature.

Railroad is considered a representative echo-friendly mode, but there are many civil complaints due to dusts arising in the process of bulk cargo transportation. The freight station which is handling coal are slowly decreasing because of civil complaints. Generally gondolas and hopper cars kinds of freight cars have a role to carry coal such as anthracite and bituminous coal. The railroad competitiveness in the field of bulk cargo transportation is diminishing because there are cost increase and dust emission in the process of transshipment. In this study, we analysed the logistics process of bulk cargo transportation in the point of railroad and we could draw the problems from the logistics process. The results could be used to study various alternatives to improve the process of coal transportation.

In this study, the physical and mechanical characteristics of Bottom-ash exhausted from each of steam power plant was considered. The comparative objects were Bottom-ash in which a lot of powder contained and that in which less than that relatively contained. The difference in quantity of powder showed different effect on the character of flow. This study was undertaken on the use of Bottom-ash as a fine aggregate, and showed the optimum mixing and the character of flow according to each rate. And this study showed the quantity of water and binder added in different Bottom-ash was differently used.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the characteristics of desulfurization under different experimental conditions and the effects of desulfurization bed fluidized bed combuster installed with the screen. The experimental results were as follows ; First, as the height of fluidized bed combustor becomes higher, the concentrations of $SO_2$ mainly increased and sulfur retion of paper sludge was higher than that of natural limestone. Second, the desulfurzation by natural limestone occurred at in-bed and the desulfurization by paper sludge occurred in the whole of fluidized bed combuster. In addition, we identified calcium sulfate by the analysis of SEM and XRD. Third, screen at splash region increased sulfur retention 2~5%, air velocity and anthracite fraction had a little effect on the sulfur retention.

Up to now, only superficial studies on the combustion velocity of smokeless fuels have been reported, while it should be a basical factor on the utilization of low quality coals and some other smokeless solid fuels. It was, therefore, difficult to choose raw material coals in manufacturing gaseous fuels. With the intent to solve above problem, we have determined combustion velocity of domestic anthracites, graphites, coalites of lignite and cokes from Japanese bituminous coal. The results show that the cokes from Japanese bituminous coal which has been used as raw material in the manufacturing gaseous fuels such as water gas, or producer gas in Korea can be replaced by some sources of domestic anthracite or coalite of lignite.

The purpose of this study was to disclose the manufacturing process of activated carbon using coal. It investigated the influences on the physical properties that were manufactured activated carbon by using anthracite coal, bituminous coal under carbonizated and activated condition. The adsorption capacities of organic material were superior when the ash content was lower 5∼10%, and the iodine value was about 1,000 mg/g, the adsorption capacity decreased rapidly when ash content was over 15%. The manufactured activated carbon were found characteristics such as the iodine value was over 1,031 mg/g, the specific surface area was over 1,032 $m^2$/g and the hardness was over 95% under manufacturing conditions which were carbonizated temperature of $600^{\circ}C$( 180 minute), activated temperature of 95$0^{\circ}C$(210 minute) and steam weight of 6 $m\ell$/min.100 g coal.

Geophysical well logging at various coal fields were carried out to study the characteristic response of domestic coal seams. Also a computer program is developed for quantitative analysis of coal logging data. Most coal seams penetrated by the drill holes, where the well logging were carried out, showed poor thickness and quality, and were severely altered. Therefore, majority of log data are inadequate for detailed quantitative analysis. The logs show, however, typical characteristics with related to coal seams, but interpretation should be made with caution because certain log response of demestic coals, mostly anthracite, are quite different to those of foreign coals, mostly bituminous. The developed comuter program has been proved as an effective one for identification of coal seams and lithology anslysis, and is expected to be succesfully used for coal quality analysis in cases of more diversified log data of good quality being obtained.

Under the new environmental regulations announced by the government, utilities will have to cut their sulfur dioxide emissions by 60% from 1991 levels by the year of 1999. Sulfur dioxide emissions can be reduced prior to combustion by physical, chemical or biological coal cleaning. The new technology of high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) offers the potential of economic separatoins of a variety of fine, weakly magnetic minerals including inorganic sulfur and many ash-forming minerals from coals. In the present paper, magnetic separation tests have been conducted on Korean anthracite and high-sulfur Chinese coal to investigate the feasibility of these techniques for reducing sulfur content from coals. In wet magnetic separation, the studied operating parameters include particle size, pH, matrix types, feed solids content, feed rate, number of cleaning stages and etc. The results shows that for wet separation, 60~70% of total sulfur was removed from coals with over 80% combustible recovery, on the other hand, for dry separation, 47.6% of total sulfur was removed from coals with 75% recovery.

This study was carried out to evaluate the variations of headloss rate and of specific deposit to depths with effective size of media and configuration of filter layer during algae blooming period. 0.51mm size media was disqualified because most of headloss occurred rapidly below 5cm from surface layer however 0.91mm size media acted deep filtration more than 20cm from top, as result 0.91mm sixte media filter had 2~3 times longer filtration time than 0.51mm sixte media filter, but 0.91mm size media have break-through potentiality. multi-layer filter with 1.02mm anthracite and 0.51mm sand had large deposit volume in upper layer that could longer filtration time, moreover smaller media in lower layer that could protect break-through.

Domestic anthracite contains a large amount of fine particles, which causes to fire the back side of the boiler and to form the clinker deteriorating the combustion efficiency. At this time, the fine limestone adsorbents for a desulphurization agent may be used to facilitate an aggravation of the boiler, so that fine mode of limestone (<0.1mm) has been used no more than $25\%$ in local power stations of Korea. The present test carried out with an in-situ boiler, however, showed that higher content $(up\;to\;50\%)$ of fine limestone particles did not entail any mal-function. In addition, the desulphurization was found to be as good as the old mode of limestone adsorbents.
