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.

Geophysical well logging at various coal fields were carried out to study the characteristic response of domestic coal seams. Also a computer program is developed for quantitative analysis of coal logging data. Most coal seams penetrated by the drill holes, where the well logging were carried out, showed poor thickness and quality, and were severely altered. Therefore, majority of log data are inadequate for detailed quantitative analysis. The logs show, however, typical characteristics with related to coal seams, but interpretation should be made with caution because certain log response of demestic coals, mostly anthracite, are quite different to those of foreign coals, mostly bituminous. The developed comuter program has been proved as an effective one for identification of coal seams and lithology anslysis, and is expected to be succesfully used for coal quality analysis in cases of more diversified log data of good quality being obtained.

Power plants that produce electricity through thermal power plants mainly store coal in outdoor storage yards. In particular, coal is directly exposed to rainwater during rainfall, including torrential rain. There is no separate drainage facility in the outdoor coal yard, and coal is simply stored on the ground. Accordingly, during rainfall, coal dust flows down by rainwater, and a large amount of rainwater that is not drained overflows the outdoor coal yard, overflowing the surrounding facilities and causing environmental pollution. Therefore, in this study, a drainage system was developed for the rapid drainage of an outdoor coal mine, and the quality of the water was evaluated when rainwater mixed with drainage characteristics and coal dust was discharged through the drainage system.

Fly ash is glassy dust collected from coal fired power plant. Recently, much research for fly ash conducted in Korea and fly ash is a valuable material especially when it used in high strength, high flowable, high durability concrete. But it varies with coal source, coal grinding and boiler conditions. Therefore, it is important that quality control of fly ash itself to get high quality concrete. In this study, over 20 samples of Poryong and Samchonpo fly ashs are tested and analyzed. The physical, chemical properties of fly ash and their relationships are investigated and it can be applied to quality control of concrete.

The seawater involving diverse chemical elements was mixed with wasted coals to improve the quality. The thermal and chemical characteristics of these seawater-mixed coals were investigated and compared with those of original coals. The contents of MgO, $Na_2O$, and $K_2O$ were increased by mixing seawater in wasted coals. The content of $Na_2O$ in these coal samples was greatly increased due to the sodium, which was the main component of seawater. Thus, it was expected that fusion temperatures of these coal samples were decreased. Coal samples mixed with seawater showed that the rapid weight loss was started at the lower temperature than those of original coal samples. In these coal samples, the temperatures of maximum heat emission were lowered by average $61^{\circ}C.$. Thus, it is suggested that some chemical constituents of the seawater act an important role on lowering the ignition temperature of wasted coal. By mixing seawater into wasted coals, the calorific values were increased. Especially, calorific values were greatly increased in the coal samples of lower quality as Baksan A and B with the improvement of 15~20%.

석탄화력발전소에서 저품위탄 연소시 통풍저항 변화로 인해 승압송풍기의 운전점에 영향을 주는 것을 분석하여 현재운전점 대비 실속시점을 예측하였다. 연료의 발열량이 낮을수록 통풍저항 증가 속도가 빨라지며, 통풍저항과 승압송풍기의 운전점과는 강한 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 발열량이 낮을수록 통풍저항이 빨리 상승하며 이는 곧 승압송풍기의 운전점이 설계탄 대비해서 실속 한계운전점에 빨리 도달하게 된다. 이를 근거로 현재운전점 대비 한계운전점까지의 운전여유분과 발열량별 통풍저항 증가 속도를 계산하여 실속시점을 예측할 수 있어 송풍기 실속으로 인한 발전출력의 감소나 운전정지에 대비한 정비계획 수립 등 안정운전에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 예상한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fly ash on the yield and quality and to determine the optimum application amount of fly ash for tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L). Two kinds of fly ash, anthracite and bituminous coal, were treated with different levels of 0, 20, 40, 60 MT/ha. Dry weights of tobacco at middle and topping growth stage were increased with application of fly ash, showing the highest dry weight at 40 MT/ha in both kinds of fly ash. It was showed that the bituminous coal had a little more effective for yield than that of anthracite. Comparing with the control, yields of tobacco applied with fly ash were significantly increased about 17.7% and 17.1% by the application of bituminous coal and anthracite, respectively. Quality of flue-cured leaves was better by application of fly ash than that of the control. The quality index was given the highest at 40 MT/ha for bituminous coal increasing by 24.6% and at 60 MT/ha fur anthracite increasing by 13.4% compared with the control. The economical efficiency considered of the yield and quality of tobacco was the highest at 40 MT/ha of bituminous. Soil pH, contents of available P2O5, organic matter, exchangeable Ca2+ and Mg2+ of soil during the growing season were increased by application of fly ash, showing more effectiveness in bituminous than that in anthracite. By the application of fly ash, the nutrients availability and the acidity of soil were reformed and they caused significantly the increase of growths yield, and quality of tobacco. By the application of lime reforming soil acidity, growth response, yields and quality of tobacco were not increased compared to the control, although the effect of reforming soil pH was remarkable.

Various kinds of coals are supplied for coal fired power plants as the coal market situations are fluctuated with the high prices of oil and coals over the world. The quality of coal is decreasing as coal consumption increased and some specifications of coals are out of boiler design criteria. It could make combustion troubles such as coal clogging, spontaneous combustion, coal firing in the coal handling equipments, ash slag and clinker issues, etc. This paper covers combustion troubles, issues and countermeasures in the biggest coal fired power plant in Korea.

인도네시아 석탄은 중국, 인도, 한국 등 아시아의 주요 국가들에서 에너지원으로써 널리 소비되고 있다. 민간기업들의 높은 수요로 인해, 인도네시아 석탄 탐사사업은 해외자원개발 조사사업을 통해 가장 많이 지원된 국가이자 광종이다. 본 논문에서는 석탄 탐사를 통해 그동안 축적된 탐사자료를 활용하여 인도네시아 함탄분지와 함탄층의 특성에 대해 종합하여 고찰하고자 한다. 인도네시아의 동부 깔리만탄과 수마트라의 신생대 제3기 퇴적분지들은 동아시아에서 가장 생산적인 함탄분지들이다. 주요 탄층의 산출특성은 지질시대별로 차이를 보인다. 깔리만탄의 바리또 분지와 아셈아셈 분지 내 에오세 탄층들은 탄폭은 얇고 부존 매수가 적은 경향이 있으나, 고열량의 양호한 탄질로 인하여 일찍부터 주요 탐사대상이었다. 후기 올리고세-전기 마이오세 탄층들은 소규모로 부존하지만, 중소규모의 탄광으로 개발하기에 적합하다. 동부 깔리만탄과 수마트라에 걸쳐 광역적으로 분포하는 마이오세-플라이오세 탄층들은 낮은 열량에도 불구하고, 두꺼운 탄폭과 다량의 부존매수의 이점을 활용하여 활발히 개발되고 있다. 다양한 사례들은 효율적이고 성공적인 탐사를 위해 함탄층의 지질학적 부존여건에 대한 전반적인 이해가 선행될 필요가 있음을 보여준다. 본 논문에서 제공하는 인도네시아 함탄분지와 함탄층에 대한 전문학술정보는 향후 우리나라 기업들의 탐사활동에 유용한 참고자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Coal seam gas (CSG) production involves extracting methane from coal seams with ground water which is so called a primary by-product of this process, and is often rich in salts and other constituents. The predicted large volume and variable quality of this water make water management a topic associated with CSG production. In the past, the amount of this water used to be pumped into the vacant aquifer, or into the river during the life of individual production wells. Australian government make a strategies for management and beneficial use of the water. From this point of view, a detailed assessment has not been undertaken, it is necessary for water resource production to analysis the "Coal Seam Gas Water (CSG Water) Management Policy Study" published in Queensland, Australia.
