The most critical factor in developing coalbed methane(CBM) reservoir is absolute permeability. Both productivity and economics of the CBM depend on the absolute permeability. The methods to estimate it are core analysis and well test. However, absolute permeability determined by core analysis cannot be a good representative of CBM reservoir. Therefore, it is generally estimated by well test. In this study, well test methods applicable of CBM reservoir were classified with their characteristics. Merits and demerits of each well tests were also analyzed. Based on those parameters, design considerations and procedures of well test were derived. After each well tests was performed, the procedure of well test interpretations to estimate reservoir properties such as absolute permeability and skin factor was presented.

To evaluate the technical of microbial coal desulfurization during the storage in coal dumps, microbial pyrite oxidation in a packed column reactor with Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been investigated. For microbial desulfurization in a packed reactor system, coal particle size over 1.0 mm with uniform size distribution seems to be most suitable as fas as drainage behavior and accessability of pyrite are concerned. When coal samples of 1∼2 and 2∼4 mm particle size were size were used, about 32∼42% of pyritic sulfur was removed within 70 days. The rate of pyritic sulfur oxidation was in the range of 348∼803 mg S/kg coal ·d, and the sulfur removal rates in packed columns were about 15∼25% of those in suspension cultures. Without any circulation of liquid medium, microbial coal desulfurization could be possible by the inoculation of T. ferrooxidans along on the coal dump. It was concluded that a microbial percolation process is one of possible processes for the desulfurization of high sulfur coal during a long-term storage.

본 실험에서는 상압 유동층 반응기 (0.1 m-1.D x 1.6 m-high) 에서 호주탄의 가스화반응 특성을 공기와 스팀을 사용하여 살펴보았다. 유동화 속도 (2-5 u$_{mf}$), 공기/석탄비(1.6-3.2), 스팀/석탄비 (0.63-1.26), 그리고 반응 온도 (750 - 90$0^{\circ}C$) 가 생성 가스의 조성, 발열량, 수율 및 탄소 전환율에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 입자 비산속도는 유동화 속도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 층온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 생성가스의 발열량 및 탄소 전환율 그리고 가스 수율은 유동화 속도 및 층 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 발열량은 공기/석탄비가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

Bench Scale급 기류층 석탄가스화기에서 배출된 슬form의 특성을 파악하기 위해서 Drayton 석탄과 Kideco 석탄으로부터 생성된 슬래그의 조성, 형상, 잔존탄소함량 및 중금속 성분들을 분석하였다. Drayton 석탄 슬래그의 형상은 표면이 매끄럽고 단단하며 다공성을 띄면서 crack이 거의 없고 결정구조가 비정형인 반면에, Kideco석탄 슬래그의 경우는 표면이 거칠고 crack이 상당히 많이 존재하며 주결정상은 pyroxene과 anorthnite 등으로 이루어져있다. 슬래그의 재활용시 판단 기준이 되는 잔존탄소함량은 두 대상탄 모두 1% 이하를 나타내어 재활용이 가능하며, 슬래그의 용출수 분석결과 석탄중에 함유된 중금속은 슬래그중에 용융되어 안정한 화합물로 존재하므로 중금속 유출로 인한 2차적인 환경오염 문제는 없을 것으로 판단된다.

Coalbed methane has a nonlinear desorption curve depending on the pressure, so an appropriate production system should be constructed considering this phenomenon. The capacity and specification of the coalbed methane gas production facility are determined by the gas flow rate and pressure in the coalbed, which is the external boundary condition of the system. Thus, it is essential to analyze these characteristics in gas production. The gas inflow equation was calculated using the reservoir flow model and utilized as the boundary condition of the whole production facility in this study. Also, to understand the effect of pressure drop on the gas flow in the production facility, the nodal analysis was performed using the flow analysis simulator of production equipment, and we determined the proper specifications and operating conditions of the production facility. This study presents a design criteria as to production and gathering system capable of effectively transporting coalbed methane.

1980년대 중반이후 화력발전소용으로 순환유동층 연소로(Circulating fluidized bed combustor : CFBC)가 많이 건설되고 있다. 이는 기존의 고정층 연소로보다 효율면에서 좋고, 차지하는 부피는 훨씬 적기 때문이다. 순환유동층의 층물질로 사용되는 모래, 석탄회, 석회석 등은 순환하는 입도, 비산유출되는 회재(fly ash)와 하부로 배출되는 회재(bottom ash)로 나누어진다. 주입되는 석탄 및 석회석의 입도는 입자-입자, 입자-연소로의 마모(attrition), 입자의 깨짐(fragmentation), 입자의 축소(shrinking) 등에 의해서 변화하게 된다.(중략)

Coal gasification process, which had developed originally to convert coal from hydrogen and carbon monoxide, has used and developed in many countries because of environmental advantages such as carbon dioxide storage, decrease of pollutants and so on. Generally entrained-flow gasification process using pulverized coal under $75{\mu}m$ is used in Integrated Gas Combined Cycle(IGCC) because of easy scale up and high efficiency of energy conversion. Especially entrained-flow gasifers with coal water slurry have been used in many applications due to its fully developed technologies. In this paper, several technologies for coal-water slurry gasification that involves slurry preparation, burner, gasifier, slag melting and numerical simulation for plant design and operation were investigated. Entrained-flow gasification with coal water slurry can be used for synfuel production, SNG, chemicals as well as IGCC. To develop hybrid gasification process and use different types of coal, it is necessary to develop new technologies that will increase efficiency of the process.

The Middle Carboniferous Manhang and Geumcheon Formations exposed in the Taebaek area, Kangwondo, Korea consist of sandstones and shales with some intercalation of limestone beds. The limestones of the formations contain abundant conodonts and other fossils. The purpose of this study is (1) to investigate the conodont fauna, (2) to assign conodont biozones of the Manhang and Geumcheon Formations, and (3) to refine their geologic age more exactly. The conodonts of the Manhang and Geumcheon Formations are 6 genera distributed into 11 species. Conodonts found from limestones of the Manhang Formation are Idiognathodus delicatus, Hindeodus minutus, Streptognathodus sp., Diplognathodus coloradoensis, N. bothorops, and N. medexultimus. This conodont fauna can be assigned to the Neognathodus bothrops Zone. This conodont biozone indicates that the geologic age of the Manghang Formation is the Atokan stage of the Middle Carboniferous Period. Conodonts came from limestones of the Geumcheon Formation are Idiognathodus delicatus, N. medexultimus, N. roundyi, N. dilatus, Diplognathodus edentulus, Hindeodus minutus, Streptognathodus elegantulus, and Gondolella bella. These conodonts permit them to be assigned to the Neognathodus roundyi Zone. This Conodont biozone indicates that the geologic age of the Geumcheon Formation is the Desmoinesian stage of the Middle Carboniferous Period.
