This study introduced a treatment process that was developed to treat Indonesian low-rank coal with high-ash content, which has the same characteristics as residual coal from the biosolubilization process. The treatment process includes separation of ash, solid-liquid separation, pelletizing, and drying. To reduce the ash content, flotation was performed using 4-methyl-2-pentanol (MIBC) as frother, and kerosene, waste oil, and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) as collectors. The increasing amount of collector had an effect on combustible coal recovery and ash reduction. After flotation, a filter press, extruder, and an oven drier were used to make a dried coal pellet. Then another coal pellet was made using asphalt as a binder. The compressive strength and friability of the coal pellets were tested and compared.

Many lakes or irrigative reservoirs in Korea are rapidly contaminated due to the ever increasing pollutants. Although lots of treatment processes have been recommended and practiced, economical and technical improvement is currently needed. In this study, contaminated irrigation reservoir was treated using the proposed process which is consisted of fine air bubbles, coagulation and flotation. Fine bubbles, approximate diameter of 3 to $10{\mu}m$, were generated using cavitation in the pressurized tank and polyaluminum chloride was used as coagulants. This fine bubbles, coagulation and flotation effectively controlled the low density algae, for example, Chlorophyll-a was removed more than 97 %. Removal efficiency of COD, SS, T-N and T-P were 80.7%, 94.3%, 64.1 % and 92.4%, respectively. Pollutants released from the sediments was removed more than 80% of organics and 60-70 % of nutrients. Consequently, fine bubbles coagulation and flotation process could be effectively used as an alternative treatment method for the purpose of control of lake water quality.

본 연구에서는 석탄화력발전소에서 전량 폐기되고 있는 석탄재의 재활용 방안으로 석탄회의 80%를 차지하고 있는 비산재로 부터 유용성분을 회수하고 이를 산업재로 활용하기 위한 청정부유선별 공정을 개발하였다. 비산재로부터 미연탄소(unburned carbon, UC) 를 회수하기 위해 비이온성 포수제인 등유 대신에 친환경 식물성 오일인 대두유를 사용하여 등유로부터 악취 발생을 예방하였고 부유선별 후 잔류물로부터 CM (ceramic microsphere)과 CA (cleaned ash)를 분리하기 위해 황산용액을 사용하지 않고 hydro-cyclone를 사용함으로써 산성폐수를 발생시키지 않고 미립의 CM를 회수할 수 있었다. 등유를 포수제로 사용하여 UC를 분리할 때 보다 대두유를 포수제로 사용하였을 때, 대두유의 높은 점성으로 인한 UC의 흡착성 증가와 대두유에 포함된 리놀레산에 의해 부유성 향상으로 UC의 회수율이 85.8%로 높게 나타났다. 회수된 UC에 포함된 연소가능성분(combustible component, CC)은 모두 탄소성분으로 대두유를 사용하였을 때 탄소의 함량이 높게 나타났으며, 회수된 UC는 표면이 거칠면서 기공이 많아 분쇄가 쉬워 미립화로 산업용 소재로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. Hydro-cyclone을 이용한 입도선별 청정분리공정에 의해 회수된 CM과 CA는 구형 형상으로 입자들이 서로 뭉치지 않고 뚜렷하게 분리되었으며 입자의 평균직경(D₅₀)은 5 ㎛로 미세하여 공정변경에 의한 CM의 미립화를 구현할 수 있었다.

The recycling rate of recovered paper in Korea is the highest in the world, 92%, but remanufacturing yield is low due to the extremely poor quality of the paper. The poor quality, in turn, influences to the reject amount in deinking process. To increase the yield of old newspaper recycling process, hydrophobic degree of inorganic pigments of deinking stock must be reduced. To determine the hydrophobicity, Pitch Potential Deposit Tester (PDT) was newly designed and applied with respect to the SB latex property of various quality used in Korea; its hydrophobic degree according to Tg, gel content, charge and particle size of latex and optimum designing condition of SB latex. And below are the conclusions: 1. The reason of excessive reject from old newspaper deinking process for total amount of printed ink is loss of inorganic pigments. When lipase, a biochemical catalyst, was applied with the purpose of preventing inorganic pigments loss about more than 70% of total reject weight and promoting hydration of pulp for deinking, deinking process yield of pre flotation secondary stage increased remarkably without any changes of deinking efficiency. 2. Lipase improved deinking stock by cutting ester linkage on surface of hydrophobic materials to promote its hydration. From this, it reached the conclusion that hydration degree of stock exercises significant effect on flotation deinking process yield. 3. Inorganic alkali promotes hydration of deinking stock. But there have been needs for more fundamental measures other than inorganic alkali of promoting hydration for yield improvement. For this, this study intended to find out reasons of chemical properties change on surface of hydrophobic material by change of pH. 4. Pitch Deposit Test (PDT) was performed for understanding principle of why surface of coating flake from OMG is hydrophobic and why it becomes hydrophilic when pH of stock is alkaline. As a result of this test, it is determined that swelling property by change of pH of latex film, which were used as coating adhesive is the reason for hydrophobic change. 5. Hydrophilicity of coating flake increased with hydrophilic pigments. And as more of SB Latex adhesive was used and higher of calcium hardness of stock became, its hydrophilicity decreased. SB Latex adhesive film is reformed by mechanical friction. For having hydrophilicity under neutral pH, strong bruising action such as kneading is required. 6. Because swelling of adhesive film decreases as Tg of SB latex gets lower and mean diameter gets smaller, it shows hydrophobicity under neutral pH. This lowers hydrophilicity of coating flake, which leads to easy elimination with flotation reject on DIP process. Therefore, for improving future flotation yield, it is necessary to develop to use eco-friendly clean SB latex by raising Tg and increasing mean diameter for recycling, and as a result, to reduce excessive loss of coating flake as a reject from deinking process.

현장형 조류수거시스템(이하 OACS)은 녹조 현상이 심각할 때 긴급 대책으로 투입되는 대안 중의 하나로, 대규모 수역에 투입되는 OACS가 갖추어야 할 조건은 신속대응성, 효율성 및 대용량이다. 부상분리 기술을 이용한 OACS의 성능은 부상 포집 수거 공정의 효율에 의해 결정되며, 처리용량 및 효율성에 가장 중요한 인자는 포집과 수거이다. 이들이 자동화되면 전체 작업속도와 일일 처리수량이 증가한다. OACS에 적용된 기술은 진보될수록 장비의 단순화 소형화와 포집과 수거 공정 자동화가 발전하여 신속대응성과 효율성이 향상되었으며, 잔류슬러지를 크게 줄여 친환경성과 수질 지속효과를 향상시켰고, 슬러지 수거량도 증가하여 대용량이 실현되는 방향으로 개선되었다. 그 결과 시스템은 조류증식비율을 극복할 수 있는 조류제거량을 달성할 수 있었고, 처리용량 대비 운영비가 감소되어 기술의 경제성을 크게 향상시켰다.

석탄화력 발전시 석탄은 석탄회로 발생하게 되는데 비회(fly ash)가 80%, 저회(bottom ash)가 20% 비율로 발생된다. 그러나 이들 대부분은 재활용되지 못하고 매립장에 전량 폐기되고 있고, 비회 및 저희를 매립하는 매립장이 포화될 경우 새로운 대체 매립장을 건설하지 못하는 한 석탄화력발전소의 운영을 중지해야 하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비회를 재활용하여 자원화하기 위해 습식 부유선별기술(부선과정)을 이용하여 비회 내 유용성분{미연탄소(unburned carbon, UC), 뮬라이트(ceramic microsphere, CM), 실리카(cleaned ash, CA)}을 회수하였으며, 회수된 유용성분들의 특성분석으로 산업 소재로 재활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 비회로부터 회수된 유용성분의 회수율은 UC 92.10%, CM 75.75%, CA 69.71%로 부선과정을 통하여 UC가 다른 성분보다 회수율이 16 ~ 22% 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. UC의 연소가능성분(combustible component, CC)은 52.54wt%, 발열량도 $4,232kcal\;kg^{-1}$로 높아서 석탄 기준 C의 함량 100%일 경우 $8,100kcal\;kg^{-1}$로 감안할 때 산업용 연료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. CM과 CA의 분리는 pH의 영향으로 UC 보다는 화학적 분리가 효과적이었으며, 회수된 CA의 $SiO_2$ 함량은 78.66wt%, CM의 $SiO_2$ 함량은 53.55wt%로 나타나 산업용 소재로 재활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fine anthracite is very difficult to upgrade by conventional processes such as gravity concentration or froth flotation, because large quantities of fine coals are generated at the mining and preparation stages and a significant portion of these fine coals are mixed with gangue minerals. This study, therefore, was carried out for the purpose of improving recovery of low ash clean coal, effective beneficiation of low-grade coking coal and removal of sulphur from high-sulphur coals by employing the method of selective agglomeration using oil or polystrene flocculants, for coals which are generally hydrophobic in nature will be extracted by using flocculants. Studies were performed by varying solid concentration, concetration of bridging liquid, mixing speed and mixing time, balling speed and balling time, dispersant dosage, flocculant dosage, pulp pH, and particle size. The results were : when the methods of the oil agglomeration and selective flocculation were employ(in the two process the sample was ground to the size of -74 micron), 1) ash content of the agglomerated coal was 9.85, 7.83%, 2) combustibel recovery of it was 98.5%, 93.5%, respectively. It was observed in selective flocculation that polystyrene is an effective flocculant for coal, De-entrapment of shale from the concentrate flocculated by mechanical agitation was necessary for substantional reductions in final ash content.
