In this work, an one-dimensional analysis on spontaneous combustion in a coal stockpile was conducted using a commercial software $gPROMS^{(R)}$ based on assumption suggested by Arioy and Akgun. According to them, it is assumed that there is temperature difference between the surface of coal particle and the gas surrounded around the particle, and it is also assumed that the velocity of the gas is constant and thus oxygen is fed to the stockpile with same velocity. The higher temperature zone is formed to the surface of the coal stockpile at the initial phase and it became deepen as time is taken. Finally it was found that the temperature difference between coal particle and the gas was calculated as $57^{\circ}C$ and spontaneous combustion have not been occurred during 6 months since coal was piled in the stock.

In this study a numerical study was conducted to show flow, temperature and gas distributions in a high temperature CO shift reactor which was designed specially for energy saving and then evaluated with the related experiment. Mole fractions of syngas at the end of the catalyst bed were predicted with various assumed pre-exponential factors, were compared with the corresponding experimental results and $10^8$ was finally selected as the value. With the selection, a base case was examined. It was calculated that the inlet duct attached asymmetrically to the CO shift reactor affects on the distribution of the upward momentum (+z directional). In addition, CO conversion ratio is achieved up to 90% in the catalyst bed and especially it reached up to 70% at the initial part of catalyst bed.

These days, coal is one of the most important energy resources used for transportation, industry, and electricity. There are two types of coal: high-rank and low-rank. Low-rank coal has a low calorific value and contains large amounts of useless moisture. The quality of low-rank coal can be increased by simple drying technology and it needs to be stabilized by hydrocarbons (e.g. palm acid oil, PAO) to prevent spontaneous combustion and moisture re-adsorption. Spontaneous combustion becomes a major problem during coal mining, storage, and transportation. It can involve the loss of life, property, and economic value; reduce the quality of the coal; and increase greenhouse gas emissions. Besides spontaneous combustion, moisture re-adsorption also leads to a decrease in quality of the coal due to its lower heating value. In this work, PAO was used for additive to stabilize the upgraded coal. The objectives of the experiments were to determine the stabilization characteristic of coal by analyzing the behavior of upgraded coal by drying and PAO addition regarding crossing-point temperature of coal, the moisture behavior of briquette coal, and thermal decomposition behavior of coal.

저등급석탄을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 고품위화 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 저등급석탄을 건조시켜 고발열량 석탄으로 제조하는 과정에서 자연발화에 대한 안정화를 위해 중질유를 분무 코팅하는 방법을 적용하였다. 수분 30wt% 이상의 저등급석탄을 고품위화하여 6,000 kcal/kg 이상의 고발열량 석탄을 제조하였으며, 중질유 분무 코팅을 통해 자연발화에 대한 안정성을 확인하였다. 중질유 분무 코팅의 방법은 석탄을 건조시킨 후 분무 코팅하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 자연발화에 대한 충분한 안정성을 갖기 위해서는 중질유를 2wt% 이상 석탄 표면에 흡착시켜야 하는 것으로 나타 났다.

$PM_{2.5}$ is one of critical air pollutants due to its high absorbability of heavy metallic fumes, PAH and bacillary micro organisms. Such a fine particulate matter is often formed through various nucleation processes including condensation. This study attempts to find the nucleation behaviors of $PM_{2.5}$ arisen from coal power stations using a classical heterogeneous Fletcher's theory. The numerical simulation by C-language could approximate the nucleation process of $PM_{2.5}$ from water vapor, of which approach revealed the required energy for embryo formation and embryo size and nucleation rate. As a result of the calculation, it was found that wetting agents could affect the particle nucleation in vapor condensation. In particular, critical contact angle relates closely with the vapor saturation. Particle condensation could be reduced by lowering the angles. The wetting agents aid to decrease the contact angle and surface tensions, thereby may contribute to save the formation energy.

본 논문에서는 저탄장 석탄더미 표면부에 자연발화 차단제를 도포하였을 경우 자연발화 현상에 미치는 영향을 수치해석적인 방법을 통해 살펴보았다. 먼저 자연발화 차단제를 도포하지 않은 경우를 해석하여 선행연구 결과와 비교하여 본 연구의 수치해석방법을 검증한 후 다양한 자연발화 차단제 도포영역 및 위치에 따른 자연발화 방지효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 자연발화 차단제의 도포영역이 넓을수록 석탄더미 내부로의 산소유입이 차단되어 발화방지 효과가 컸으며, 자연발화 차단제를 석탄더미 바닥에서부터 도포하여야 발화방지 효과가 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다. 자연발화 차단제의 제조비용 등의 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 효과적으로 도포하여야 한다.
