본 연구는 낮은 회 성분의 함량과 높은 발열량의 특성을 지닌 초청정 석탄의 탈휘발 반응율 특성을 연구하였다. 정적 상태에서의 탈휘발 반응율 특성을 얻기 위하여 TGA 장치를 $10^{\circ}C$/min으로 $950^{\circ}C$까지 승온시키며 Coats-Redfern 방법을 사용하여 결과를 도출하였고, 동적 상태에서는 DTF(Drop Tube Furnace) 반응로 온도를 각각 $500^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, $1300^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜서 실험을 수행하였으며 single step 방법을 통해 탈휘발 반응율 특성을 얻었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출한 초청정 석탄의 탈휘발 반응율 특성은 기존에 사용되어온 Wira(아역청탄)과 Yakurugol(역청탄)의 탈휘발 특성과 비교하였으며, 정적 동적 상태에서 초청정 석탄의 활성화 에너지가 다른 탄종들에 비해 작게 나타났다.

본 연구는 80 kW 연소로에서 초 저 NO_x 버너를 개발하고 실험한 결과를 나타낸 것이다. 실험은 80 kW 단일 버너 연소로에서 진행되었으며, swirl number 변화, 총 당량비, 1차 / 2차 산화제 비율을 변경하여 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 가스(LNG)를 보조연료로 사용하여 NO_x 생성량을 크게 감소 시킬 수 있었다. 화력발전소에서 석탄 연소 시 발생하는 NO_x의 양은 약 300 ppm이다. 그러나 본 연구에서 사용된 버너는 LNG를 혼소하여 NO_x의 양을 40 ppm까지 감소 시킬 수 있었다. 1차 산화제의 투입량이 보조 연료인 가스가 연소될 만큼만 사용하여 가스와 석탄을 동시에 투입하면 연소가스가 버너 출구에서 고온영역을 형성하여 석탄을 휘발시키므로 N 탈휘발에 포함되어 배출된다. 그러므로 이 후 석탄이 연소 되면 석탄내 포함된 N이 거의 없기 때문에 NO_x 생성량이 감소하는 것이다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 실제 화력발전소 버너를 개발한다면 NO_x 생성을 연소 초기에 대량 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

A detailed understanding of the mechanical behaviors for crushed coal rocks after grouting is a key for construction in the broken zones of mining engineering. In this research, experiments of grouting into the crushed coal rock using independently developed test equipment for solving the problem of sampling of crushed coal rocks have been carried out. The application of uniaxial compression was used to approximately simulate the ground stress in real engineering. In combination with the analysis of crack evolution and failure modes for the grouted specimens, the influences of different crushed degrees of coal rock (CDCR) and solidified grout strength (SGS) on the mechanical behavior of grouted specimens under uniaxial compression were investigated. The research demonstrated that first, the UCS of grouted specimens decreased with the decrease in the CDCR at constant SGS (except for the SGS of 12.3 MPa). However, the UCS of grouted specimens for constant CDCR increased when the SGS increased; optimum solidification strengths for grouts between 19.3 and 23.0 MPa were obtained. The elastic moduli of the grouted specimens with different CDCR generally increased with increasing SGS, and the peak axial strain showed a slightly nonlinear decrease with increasing SGS. The supporting effect of the skeleton structure produced by the solidified grouts was increasingly obvious with increasing CDCR and SGS. The possible evolution of internal cracks for the grouted specimens was classified into three stages: (1) cracks initiating along the interfaces between the coal blocks and solidified grouts; (2) cracks initiating and propagating in coal blocks; and (3) cracks continually propagating successively in the interfaces, the coal blocks, and the solidified grouts near the coal blocks. Finally, after the propagation and coalescence of internal cracks through the entire specimens, there were two main failure modes for the failed grouted specimens. These modes included the inclined shear failure occurring in the more crushed coal rock and the splitting failure occurring in the less crushed coal rock. Both modes were different from the single failure mode along the fissure for the fractured coal rock after grouting solidification. However, compared to the brittle failure of intact coal rock, grouting into the different crushed degree coal rocks resulted in ductile deformation after the peak strength for the grouted specimens was attained.

A numerical study on swirling pulverized coal combustion in an axisymmetric enclosure is carried out by applying the 2-phase weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGGM) approach with the discrete ordinate method (DOM) to model the radiative heat transfer equation. In the radiative transfer equation, the same polynomial equation and coefficients for weighting factors as those for gas are adopted for the coal/char particles as a function of partial pressure and particle temperature. The Eulerian balance equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species mass fractions are adopted with the standard and RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, whereas the Lagrangian approach is used for the particulate phase. The eddy-dissipation model is employed for the reaction rate for gaseous mixture, and the single-step and two-step first-order reaction model for the devolatilization process for coal. Special attention is given to establish the thermal boundary conditions on radiative transfer equation By comparing the numerical results with experimental ones, the radiation model used here is confirmed and found to provide an alternative for simulating the radiative transfer.

An environmental geochemical survey of heavy metal distribution in marine surface sediments around the ocean of Samcheonpo coal-fired power plant was conducted to investigate the possibility of coal-ash leakage from ash pond and the associated heavy metal pollution in sedimental deposits due to the operation of the coal-fired power plant. The X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) analysis showed that the main leakage point of coal-ash was limited to a single site of the first ash pond. It also appeared that the amounts of organic carbon and metal elements were positively correlated to the grain size distribution, and that Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Zn were bounded to organic ligands. However, the distributions of Cd, Hg, and Mn did not have any significant correlation with the sediment grain size and organic matters. In particular, the distribution of Cd appeared to be affected by the concentration of the carbonate materials in the study area.

Coal properties are controlled by the following two factors : One is the maceral components and the other is the degree of coalification. In other words, even if coals in question indicate the same degree of coalification, their chemical and physical properties considerably vary one another when their maceral components are different. It is well known that virtrinite reflectance is the best single criterion for the degree of coalification covering the whole range of coal rank. Some authors have recently insisted that sporinite fluorescence is more leliable coal rank parameter than vitrinite reflectance in case of low rank coals. In this paper, to examine the relince of sporinite fluorescence as coal rank parameter, fluidity analysis of coals is newly performed and the data are analyzed in comparision with those of virinite reflectance, sporinite fluorescence and maceral components. The results of this study are as follows; 1) Vitrinite reflectance becomes low when degradinite content is high within one columnar samples, and vice versa. 2) variation of vitrinite reflectance depend on degradinite content and on difference of roiginal plant. 3) In dealing with the Japanese paleogene coals, sporinite fluorescence is more reliable parameter indicating the degree of coalification than vitrinite reflectance. 4) Maximum fluidity increases exponetially in proportion to the increases of degradinite content.

Geological dynamic hazards during coal mining can be caused by the failure of a composite system consisting of roof rock and coal layers, subject to different loading rates due to different advancing velocities in the working face. In this paper, the uniaxial compression test simulations on the composite rock-coal layers were performed using $PFC^{2D}$ software and especially the effects of loading rate on the stress-strain behavior, strength characteristics and crack nucleation, propagation and coalescence in a composite layer were analyzed. In addition, considering the composite layer, the mechanisms for the advanced bore decompression in coal to prevent the geological dynamic hazards at a rapid advancing velocity of working face were explored. The uniaxial compressive strength and peak strain are found to increase with the increase of loading rate. After post-peak point, the stress-strain curve shows a steep stepped drop at a low loading rate, while the stress-strain curve exhibits a slowly progressive decrease at a high loading rate. The cracking mainly occurs within coal, and no apparent cracking is observed for rock. While at a high loading rate, the rock near the bedding plane is damaged by rapid crack propagation in coal. The cracking pattern is not a single shear zone, but exhibits as two simultaneously propagating shear zones in a "X" shape. Following this, the coal breaks into many pieces and the fragment size and number increase with loading rate. Whereas a low loading rate promotes the development of tensile crack, the failure pattern shows a V-shaped hybrid shear and tensile failure. The shear failure becomes dominant with an increasing loading rate. Meanwhile, with the increase of loading rate, the width of the main shear failure zone increases. Moreover, the advanced bore decompression changes the physical property and energy accumulation conditions of the composite layer, which increases the strain energy dissipation, and the occurrence possibility of geological dynamic hazards is reduced at a rapid advancing velocity of working face.

Spinnable pitches and carbon fibers were successfully prepared from petroleum or coal pyrolysis residues. After pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO), slurry oil, and coal tar were simply filtered to eliminate the solid impurities, the characteristics of the raw materials were evaluated by elemental analysis, ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF-MS), and so on. Spinnable pitches were prepared for melt-spinning carbon fiber through a simple distillation under strong nitrogen flow, and further vacuum distillation to obtain a high softening point. Carbon fibers were produced from the above pitches by single-hole melt spinning and additional heat treatment, for oxidization and carbonization. Even though spinnable pitches and carbon fibers were processed under the same conditions, the melt-spinning and properties of the carbon fiber were different depending on the raw materials. A fine carbon fiber could not be prepared from slurry oil, and the different diameter carbon fibers were produced from the PFO and coal tar pitch. These results seem to be closely correlated with the initial characteristics of the raw materials, under this simple processing condition.

Effect of inherent volatile matters in fuels on electrochemical reactions of anode was investigated for a single direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC). Raw coals used as power source in the DCFC release light gases into the atmosphere under the operating temperature of DCFC ($700^{\circ}C$) by thermal decomposition and only char remained. These exhausted gases change the gas composition around anode and affect the electrochemical oxidation reaction of system. To investigate the effect of produced gases, comparative study was conducted between Indonesian sub-bituminous coal and its char obtained through thermal treatment, carbonizing. Maximum power density of raw coal ($52mW/cm^2$) was appeared higher than that of char ($37mW/cm^2$) because the gases produced from the raw coal during thermal decomposition gave additional positive results to electrochemical reaction of the system. The produced gases from coals were analyzed using TGA and FT-IR. The influence of volatile matters on anodic electrolyteelectrode interface was observed by the equivalent circuit induced from fitting of impedance spectroscopy data.

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.
