In order to establish a optimum level and proper method of fly ash application for soybean cultivation, the successive three years experiment was conducted in the field applied with four application levels of fly ash, 0, 30, 60, 90 MT/ha during the 1991 to 1993. Influence of successive application and residue of fly ash in soil on soybean growth and yield was discussed. Fly ash application had a favorable effect on soybean growth, however over application such as 90 MT/ha caused to turn the color into the brown of young leaf edge and eventually to have necrosis on the leaf. This symptom was prominent under the application of bituminous coal fly ash. In the 1st year cultivation of soybean, the highest yield was obtained at application level of 30 MT/ha. In the 2nd year, application of anthracite fly ash showed the highest yield at 60 MT/ha for successive application and at 90 MT/ha for the 1st year application followed by the 2nd year residue. Application of bituminous coal fly ash showed the highest yield at 60 MT/ha for the both successive application and residue. In the 3rd year, successive application of the both fly ash was given the highest yield at 30 MT/ha, respectively indicating the decrease of yield with increasing level of application. In case of residue plot, the highest yield by the application of anthracite fly ash was made at 90 MT/ha for the 1st year application followed by 2 years residue and at 60 MT/ha for the 1st and 2nd year application followed by the 3rd year residue. But in the residue plot of bituminous coal fly ash, yield was highest at 30 MT/ha showing the decrease of yield with increasing level of residue. Enhancement in growth and yield of soybean by application of fly ash was due to the fact that fly ash contained some plant nutrients such as phosphorus, silicon, and boron etc. and reformed soil pH that caused to increase availability of nutrients in soil.

The installation of light oil facilities or delayed cokers seems to be inevitable in the oil refinery industry due to the heavy crude oil reserves and the increased use of light fuels as petroleum products. Petroleum coke is a byproduct of oil refineries and it has higher fixed carbon content, higher calorific value, and lower ash content than coal. However, its sulfur content and heavy metal content are higher than coal. In spite of disadvantages, petroleum coke might be one of promising resources due to gasification processes. The gasification of petroleum coke can improve economic value of oil refinery industries by handling cheap, toxic wastes in an environment-friendly way. In this study, $CO_2$ gasification reaction kinetics of petroleum coke, various coals and mixing coal with petroleum coke have investigated and been compared by using TGA. The kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification has been performed with petroleum coke, 3 kinds of bituminous coal [BENGALLA, White Haven, TALDINSKY], and 3 kinds of sub-bituminous coal [KPU, LG, MSJ] at various temperature[$1100-1400^{\circ}C$].

The effects of air velocity and excess air on combustion characteristics were studied in a fluidized bed combustor. The domestic low-grade anthracite coal with heating value of 2010 kcal/kg and the imported bituminous coal from Australia with heating value of 6520 kcal/kg were used as coal samples. The combustion characteristics of mixed fuels in a fluidized bed combustor could be interpreted by pressure fluctuation properties, ash distribution and gas emission. The properties of the pressure fluctuations, such as the standard deviation, cross-correlation function, dominant frequency and the power spectral density function, were obtained from the statistical analysis. From this study, the combustion region increased with increasing air velocity but decreased with excess air due to combustion characteristics of anthracite and bituminous coal.

This study was conducted to examine mineralogical aspects on anthractite and bituminous coal-fired power-plant ashes as a source of mineral fertilizer. Fly ashes contain dominant amounts of silica and alumina and considerable quantitites of potassium and boron. However, potassium and silica present in unavailable forms for plant growth. X-ray, DTA, and IR analysis of ash particles indicated the formation of new mineral, mullite with shape of which were spherical in the surface morphologies of SEM. Detailed SEM investigation showed the presence of imbedded blocky shape silicate material.

This pot experiment was conducted to investigate the changes of leaching in percolated water of paddy soil in which rice was cultivated in conditions of 0%, 5%. 30% addition of bituminous and anthracite fly ash respectively in greenhouse. pH in percolated water was higher in non cultivated plot than in cultivated plot. pH of the fly ash treated plot was higher than that of the control plot. pH in the cultivated plot decreased gradually during the cultivation. The contents of $NH_4-N$, $NO_3-N$ and K in percolated water decreased rapidly after mid-July, and was very low in the cultivated plot. Over the cultivation time, P contents in percolated water was very low. $SiO_2$, contents in percolated water decreased rapidly after June. Na contents in percolated water was highest in mid-June and then decreased gradually. In the cultivated plot, Ca contents in percolated water was higher than that in the control plot. During the cultivation, Ca contents in percolated water decreased gradually. But, in later-term of cultivation. Ca contents in percolated water was relatively Mgh. Mg contents in percolated water decreased after mid-July, but decreased continuously till the later-term of cultivation. EC in the percolated water was highest in mid-June. and then decreased gradually. EC of fly ash treated plot was higher than that of the control plot. The soil pH was increased and phosphate content in the soil was accumulated very high by application of fly ashes in paddy field after rice cultivation. Fly ash treatment did not increase the contents of elements in percolated water compared with the control plot. The difference between anthracite and bituminous fly ash was not so clear. Fly ash treatment, inhibited early growth and tillering. But, in later-term of cultivation, the inhibition effects of nonproductive tillering was expected. Fly ash treatment will be good if it was applicated after last year's harvest because leaching would happen over fallowing time. Contents of inorganic elements in percolated water of fly ash treated plot was not so high compared with that in the control plot.

Fly ash treatment on soil had a strongly positive effect on the growth of soybean. Treatment of fly ash to the soil made soil pH improved and available phosphate content increased. Consequently yield of soybean increased. From germination to early growth stage, growth status and weight of the plant were unfavorably affected by fly ash and its effects on the leaf was quite serious specially in the plots treated with more than 10 MT/10a of bituminous fly ash. However after early stage, plant growth became vigorous in the order of 0 (control plot)<15<5<10 MT/10a. But at the late maturing stage, deteriorative symptoms such as leaf burn and drying were appeared from the plant treated with 10MT/10a and its symptoms were more serious with 15MT/10a. By anthracite fly ash treatment, the plant growth was greatly improved. As a result plant height and dry matter were in the order of 0<5<10<15MT/10a. Grain yield was in the order of 0<15<5< 10MT/10a treatment with bituminous fly ash and 0<5<10<15MT/10a treatment with anthracite fly ash. As a conclusion, recommandable amount of fly ash treatment for soybean would be 5-10 MT/10a with anthracite fly ash and 5 MT/10a with bituminous fly ash.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of treatment of fly ash on heavy metal contents of the arable soil. Rice was cultivated on the two types of paddy field clay loam and sandy loam with 0, 12ton/10a of anthracite fly ash and bituminous coal fly ash application. And soybean was cultivated at the same type of upland fields with those ashes of 0, 9ton/10a, yearly for three years. At the harvest time, the heavy metal contents in the different layer were investigated. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The contents of some heavy metal were increased in the surface soils but didn't show the tendency in the deeper layer or soil texture. 2. In the paddy fields, the contents of Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr were increased. Meanwhile and the upland fields, the contents of Cd and Cr were increased with the successive application of Anthracite fly ash, but the others didn't show those tendency. 3. The contents of Cd, Cu and Zn in the paddy field, were increased but the upland field, the contents of Cd, Cr and Ni were increased by the successive application of bituminous coal fly ash.

Fly ash application with a rate 0, 50, 100, $150Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in clay loam paddy, which had properties of pH 5.3 and low contents of silicate, gave a positively residual effects on the growth of rice crop subsequent to malting barley. The responses of rice yields to fly ash application were in the order of bituminous coal fly ash(BCFA) 100 > 150 > 50 > anthracite fly ash(AFA) 50 > 100 > none > AFA $150Mg\;ha^{-1}$. As a result, yields responses of milled rice were ranged from $6.2(50Mg\;ha^{-1}){\sim}14.4%(100Mg\;ha^{-1})$ by BCFA and from $-0.6(150Mg\;ha^{-1}){\sim}6.6%(50Mg\;ha^{-1})$ by AFA showing maximum yields of 5.084 and $4.738Mg\;ha^{-1}$ by the former and the latter, respectively. Rice plant showed lodging indices ranging from $20(50Mg\;ha^{-1}){\sim}40%(150Mg\;ha^{-1})$ by BCFA and from $1.3(150Mg\;ha^{-1}){\sim}15%(50Mg\;ha^{-1})$ by AFA at harvesting stage. In especial, soils applicated with BCFA contained a good fertility in terms of pH, available $P_2O_5$ and $SiO_2$, and exchangeable Ca and Mg etc. so that possibly harbored 3yr-residual effects of the fly ash on crop subsequent to this rice.

In this study, the proper mixing ratio of fly ash to bottom ash is evaluated and bearing capacity of this mixed ash is examined for use of highway embankment and subgrade materials in large quantities. Independently of the mixing ratio of fly ash to bottom ash or the method of compaction test, maximum dry density ${\gamma}_{dmax}$ and CBR value of anthracite mixed coal ash is greater than that of bituminous mixed coal ash. The mixed ashes to contain more fly ash than that of which the ratio of fly ash to bottom ash is 8 : 2, are slaked readily when the water contents of compaction are greater than optimum moisture content O.M.C. The proper mixing ratios of fly ash to bottom ash are about 5 : 5 to 6 : 4. Coal ashes mixed with these ratios exhibit proper physical and geotechnical properties for use of highway embankment and subgrade materials, and enable coal ashes to be used in large quantities.

In this study, the strength and durability of compacted coal ash with proper mixing ratio of fly ash to bottom ash, such as 5:5 or 6:4, are examined for use of highway embankment and subgrade materials. Right after compaction, the strength of bituminous mixed coal ash is greater than that of anthracite mixed coal ash. The distinguished increase of strength with curing time is observed only in Ho-nam mixed coal ash that contains a lot of free lime, and the strength increase with curing time are not seen or little in the others. The durability in sinking test is good also in Ho-nam mixed coal ash, but satisfactory by adding 2% cement in the others. And it is seen that the effects of the strength increase with adding cement are greater in coal ash with proper mixing ratio than in fly ash or bottom ash respectly.
