A numerical study for the turbulent reacting flow in an orimulsion gasifier has been carried out to analyze the characteristics of chemical reaction by orimulsion droplets. In this study, our interest has been focused on the effect of oxidizer to orimulsion ratio, which is one of the key parameters of gasification operation, as well as on the distribution of chemical species. In addition, we have conducted numerical calculations to understand the effect of droplet size, spray angle and injection velocity of fuel so as to acquire the basic information on the operating range of orimulsion gasifier. The result of numerical calculations showed that the gas composition of CO and H$_2$concentrations was the highest when the oxidizer to orimulsion ratio was about 0.88 and the reactivity of orimulsion increased as the droplet size reduced with proper spray angle. Also, we have carried out the analysis on the orimulsion gasification in the 100 ton/day-scale gasifier based upon the prior study in order to obtain the basic data for the proper operating condition using orimulsion feed.

In the case of the deep reservoirs like the gas reservoirs in the East-sea, it is often difficult to observe AVO responses in CMP gathers. Because the reservoir becomes more consolidated as its depth deepens, P-wave velocity does not decrease significantly when the pore fluid is replaced by the gas. In this study, we analyzed the effects of Poisson's ratio difference on AVO response with a variety of Poisson's ratios for the upper and lower layers. The results show that, as the difference in Poisson's ratio between the upper and lower layers decreases, the change in the reflection amplitude with incidence angle decreases. To consider the limitation of AVO responses shown in the gas reservoir in East-sea, the velocity model was made by simulation Gorae V structure with seismic data and well logs. The results of comparing AVO responses observed from the synthetic data with theoretical AVO responses calculated by using material properties show that the amount of the change in reflection amplitude with increasing incident angle is very small when the difference in Poisson's ratio between the upper and lower layers is small. In addition, the characteristics of AVO responses were concealed by noise or amplitude distortion arisen during preprocessing. To overcome such limitations of AVO analysis of the data from deep reservoirs, we need to acquire precisely reflection amplitudes in data acquisition stage and use processing tools which preserve reflection amplitude in data processing stage.

디젤엔진에 적합한 환경 친화적 연료로 평가받고 있는 디메틸에테르(DME)를 기존의 메탄올 탈수화에 의한 간접법 대신 합성 가스로부터 직접 합성법으로 제조하였다. 합성가스에서 메탄올을 합성하는 경우에 비해 화학 평형 상의 이점 때문에 DME를 합성하는 것이 경제적이며 이는 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 기상 반응기에서 메탄올 탈수촉매의 부가에 의한 메탄올 환산 생산량은 메탄올 합성촉매에 의한 생산량에 비해 두 배 이상의 증가를 보인다. 메탄올 탈수촉매를 Cu로 개질한 효과는 없었으며, 메탄올 탈수촉매로서 순수 감마알루미나가 가장 우수한 반응성을 보였다. 반응 조건이 25$0^{\circ}C$, 30atm일 때 고려된 GHSV 범위에서 촉매 적정 혼합비는 7:3, 합성 가스의 조성비는 $H_2$/CO=1일 때 가장 좋은 선택도와 수율을 나타내었다.

가스 하이드레이트의 생성속도와 전환율을 높이며, 동시에 생성유도시간을 억제하기 위한 방법으로 다공질 물질을 활용하여 공극 내에 물을 함침시킨 후 가스와 반응시키는 제조방법을 개발하였다. 내용적 10 L 의 대용량 고압 반응기를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 장치 대형화에 따른 다공질 실리카겔의 다짐현상에 의한 발열제어 등에 대한 문제점은 특별히 나타나지는 않았다. 하이드레이트 형성을 위한 구동력이 높을수록 생성속도가 좋아지는 것을 확인하였다. 일반 벌크상 하이드레이트 제조법과 비교하여 매우 높은 생성속도 및 전환율, 거의 제거된 생성유도시간 등은 응용기술로 활용하기에 매우 바람직한 특성으로써 선택적인 가스분리, 가스저장 매체로 활용이 가능하다.

미곡종합처리장에서 발생되는 농업부산물인 왕겨는 대부분 퇴비의 재료로 활용되고 있으며, 수익성이 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 근래에 화석자원의 고갈이 진행되면서, 왕겨, 볏짚을 포함한 농업부산물은 화석연료와 달리 재생이 가능하고 지속 가능한 자원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 바이오매스를 이용하는 신재생에너지 기술로는 생물학적, 열화학적, 물리적 변환 기술 등이 있다. 그중 열화학적 변환 기술은 반응시간이 짧고, 단위부피당 처리량이 높으며 공정상의 폐기물이 적은 장점을 지니고 있어 왕겨의 에너지 활용에 효율적인 기술로 알려져 있다. 왕겨의 열분해 가스화는 CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$, 및 $CH_4$ 가스가 주성분인 합성가스로 전환되는 것을 말하며, 생산된 합성가스는 가스엔진의 발전 연료로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업부산물인 왕겨를 이용한 열분해 가스화기에서 발생된 합성가스를 정제한 후, 20kW급 가스엔진을 적용하여 합성가스 에너지 활용특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과 왕겨의 열분해/가스화반응에 의해 발생된 합성가스를 가스엔진으로 안정적으로 공급하였으며,16kw의 전력이 생산되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study has been implemented to investigate various characteristics of coals which are imported from abroad. KIER has developed 1 T/D bench-scale unit, entrained-flow coal-slurry gasification technology to investigate the followings: 1) to assess the appropriate foreign coals for gasification. 2) to establish the data base for gasification phenomena, 3) to minimize the technical risks prior to introduction of commercial scaled IGCC power plant, 4) to develop essential key technologies and to establish operational experiences for coal gasification. The foreign coals used in the gasification are Cyprus and Alaska coals from U. S. A. Cyprus coal(bituminous) and Alaska coal (lignite) were shown about 1.29$0^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of coal-slurry for Cyprus were maintained up to 58%, 62% and 65% in order to enable to feed satisfactorily it into the gasifier without any other problems at feeding systems. However, the Alaska coal was unable to maintain slurry concentration over the 60% due to its high viscosity. During the experiments, $O_2/coal$ ratios in both coals ere maintained from 0.6~1.2, but especially Alaska coal was required excessive oxygen feed due to its high ingerent moisture contents. During the experiments with two different coals, the concentrations of syngas $(H_2+CO)$ were shown as 40~62%, and the heating value of syngas were detected as 1,400~2,050 kcal/N㎥

The $SO_2$ reduction using CO and $H_2$ over Sn-Zr based catalysts was performed in this study. Sn-Zr based catalysts with Sn/Zr molar ratio (0/1, 1/4, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 1/0) were prepared by the precipitation and co-precipitation method. The effect of the temperature on the reaction characteristics of the $SO_2$ reduction with a reducing agent such as $H_2$ and CO was investigated under the conditions of space velocity of $10,000ml/g_{-cat.}h$, $([CO(or\;H_2)]/[SO_2])$ of 2.0. As a result, the activity of Sn-Zr based catalysts were higher than $SnO_2$ and $ZrO_2$. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with CO was higher than that with $H_2$, and sulfur yield in the $SO_2$ reduction by $H_2$ was higher than that by CO. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ was increased with the reaction temperature regardless of Sn-Zr based catalyst with a Sn/Zr molar ratio. $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=1/4) had highest activity at $550^{\circ}C$, in the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ and $SO_2$ conversion of 94.4％ and sulfur yield of 66.4％ were obtained at $550^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the $SO_2$ reduction by CO, the reactivity was decreased with the increase over $325^{\circ}C$. At the optimal temperature of $325^{\circ}C$, $SO_2$ conversion and sulfur yield were about 100％ and 99.5％, respectively, in the $SO_2$ reduction over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=3/1). Also, the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=2/1) was performed in order to investigate the application possibility of the simulated coal gas as the reductant in DSRP. As a result, the reactivity of the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio was increased with increasing the CO content of syngas. Therefore, it could be known that DSRP using the simulated coal gas over Sn-Zr based catalyst is possible to be realized in IGCC system

In this study, kinetics data was obtained for steam reforming reaction of ethane over the nickel catalyst. The variables of steam reforming reaction were reaction temperature, partial pressure of ethane, and mole ratio of steam and ethane. Parameters for the power rate law kinetic model and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model were obtained from the kinetic data. Also, sizing of steam reforming reactor was performed by using PRO/II simulator. For the steam reforming reaction of ethane, Langmuir-Hinshelwood model determining the reaction rate by the surface reaction was better suited than a simple power rate law kinetic model. On water-gas-shift reaction, power rate law kinetic model was well fitted to the kinetic data. Reactor size can be calculated for production of hydrogen through PRO/II simulation.
