The numerical analysis by using CFX 11.0 commercial code was done for proper design of the heat exchanger. The present experimental studies were also conducted to investigate the effects of circulating solid particles on the characteristics of fluid flow, heat transfer and cleaning effect in the fluidized bed vertical shell and tube type heat exchanger with counterflow, at which a variety of solid particles such as glass ($3mm{\Phi}$), aluminum ($2{\sim}3mm{\Phi}$), steel ($2{\sim}2.5mm{\Phi}$), copper ($2.5mm{\Phi}$) and sand ($2{\sim}4mm{\Phi}$) were used in the fluidized bed with a smooth tube. Seven different solid particles have the same volume, and the effects of various parameters such as water flow rates, particle diameter, materials and geometry were investigated. The present experimental and numerical results showed that the flow velocity range for collision of particles to the tube wall was higher with heavier density solid particles, and the increase in heat transfer was in the order of sand, copper, steel, aluminum, and glass. This behavior might be attributed to the parameters such as surface roughness or particle heat capacity.

This study evaluates the economic feasibility of industrializing fluidized bed dryer for wood particles. The theoretically required heat energy and energy efficiency were evaluated using a pilot scale fluidized bed dryer. When Mongolian Oak wood particles with 50% initial moisture content were dried in the fluidized bed dryer with air of $70^{\circ}C$ air circulating at 1.1-1.3 m/s for 30 minutes, the total theoretically required heat energy was 2,177 kJ. Of this, 1,763 kJ (approximately 81.0%) was used to heat the air flowing in from outside the dryer and 386 kJ (approximately 17.7%) was used to heat and remove water from the wood particles. Actual energy consumed was 7,560 kJ, giving energy efficiency of 28.8%. Thus, to industrialize a drying method such as fluidized bed drying, where the dryer volume is significantly larger than the volume of wood particles, it is necessary to minimize energy loss and maximize energy efficiency by designing the dryer size considering the amount of wood particles and choosing a suitable air circulation rate.

TiO$_2$ photocatalyst films deposited beads were prepared by circulating fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition(CFB-CVD) using TTIP(Titanium Tetra Iso-Propoxyde). Photocatalytic activities of Photocatalyst beads were evaluated by decomposition rate of formaldehyde in aqueous solution using a photo-reactor. From the result of photocatalytic degradation of formaldehyde, decomposition rate were shown gradually increased according to the increase of UV intensity, circulating fluid velocity and addition amount of H$_2$O$_2$. However the decomposition rate of formaldehyde were decreased according to the increase of initial concentration and pH value.

The erosion rate of water wall tube has been measured and discussed in a commercial circulating fluidized bed combustor (200 ton steam/hr, $4.97{\times}9.90{\times}28.98m\;height$). Tube thickness was measured with ultrasonic method. Severe tube erosion rate was observed in the splash region on all waterwalls including wingwalls. The tube erosion rate increased after an initial decrease as height from the distributor increased. The difference of erosion rate among wing walls was found due to unbalanced distribution of gas and solid flow rates. The erosion rate of the wing wall increased as location of the wing wall became closer to the center of combustor crosssection.

Pot-holes are steadily increasing due to abnormal climate such as heavy rainfall and frequent snowfall. Pot-hole related to traffic accidents cause injuries, car damage and distress of road facilities. To reduce pot-holes, the use of an anti-stripping agent is mandatorily recommended to asphalt concrete mixture. Hydrated lime is commonly used as anti-stripping agent due to the convenience and economics. Byproduct ash from circulating fluidized bed boiler was reviewed as an anti stripping agent. According to the test results, the byproduct ash is satisfied with TSR specification using 1% to 3% by weight of the asphalt mixture. The byproduct ash was examined under various condition changes of aggregate and asphalt concrete mixture considering quality movement. According to the results, using the byproduct ash was measured average 0.87 of TSR and coverage rates of 60% after rolling bottle test. Test results also revealed that the byproduct ash showed stable performance. Using the byproduct ash to decrease pot-hole in asphalt concrete pavement is suitable for demonstrating stable performance as anti-stripping agent.

This study provides the identification of corrosion cause substances in super heater tube from a commercial scale circulating fluidized bed boiler. Electricity is produced by the combustion of biomass mainly wood waste. The biomass, super heater tube, super heater tube ash, and boiler ash were collected and components associated with corrosion were analyzed. A large amount of oxygen-containing material was found due to oxidation. The chlorine content was analyzed as 6.1% and 4.3% in super heater tube ash and boiler ash respectively which were approximately 20 and 14 times higher than those of designed values. Also, alkaline metal contents (K, Na, Ca) were very high in ash samples collected from super heater tube and boiler. The tendency of slagging and fouling was predicted based on X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) results. Basicity that can lead to slagging was estimated as 3.62 and 2.72 in super heater tube and boiler ash, respectively. Slagging would occur with ash content when considering the designed value as 0.35.

The tube thickness map of water wall has been measured in a commercial circulating fluidized bed combustor (200 ton steam/hr, $4.97{\times}9.90{\times}28.98m$ height) with ultrasonic method and tube erosion has been discussed. Severe tube erosion took place in the splash region on all waterwalls including wingwalls. Erosion on the lower part of front and rear walls, close to both side walls, was more serious than other places. Erosion of some tubes around the gas exit was found to be noticible. Tube erosion increased on the wingwall as the position of the tube become closer to the center of the combustor crosssection.

Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) ash is one of useful mineralogical resources having abundant content of free lime and anhydrite, and has a self-cementitious property. Recently, considerable interest has been gained regarding the utilization of CFBC ash, along with its use in mine backfill and reclamation. Prior to adopt the use of CFBC ash in the mine backfill technology, discussion on the technology and related specification is prerequisite in the future. This paper presents a review on studies in the emerging technology of CFBC ash utilization, and provides useful information with regard to the specifications for mine backfills utilizing CFBC ash.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the carbon capture capacity of various inorganic materials. For this purpose, the change in property of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), blast furnace slag fine powder (GGBS), and circulating fluidized bed boiler ash (CFBC) due to carbonation were analyzed. Carbonation curing was performed on all specimens through the accelerated carbonation experiment, and the amount of carbon capture was quantitatively analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis according to the age of carbonation. From the results, it is confirmed that the carbon capture capacity was shown in all specimens. The carbon capture amount was shown in the order of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS. The 28-day carbon capture of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS was 3.9%, 1.3%, and 9.4%, respectively. Carbon capture reaction occurred rapidly at the beginning of carbonation, and occurred slowly with increasing age. SEM image analysis revealed that an additional product generated by carbonation curing in all specimens was calcium carbonate.

In this study, as a method to increase the recycling of circulating fluidized bed combustion ash(CFBCA), CFBCA was utilized to produce autoclave aerated concrete product since CFBCA contains quicklime and calcium sulfate components that are required for the manufacture of autoclave aerated concrete. Successful achievement of such objective will bring cost reduction with high value addition, saving of natural resources, and the reduction of environmental load. Various mixing designs were designed to evaluate the properties of autoclave aerated concrete made of CFBCA. Based on series of experimental program, prototypes mix design for factory manufacturing was obtained. According to the experimental results, it was confirmed that gypsum can be replaced with CFBCA through the method of pre-treating the CFBCA as a slurry. It was possible to produce competitive autoclave aerated concrete products using CFBCA.
