Mathematical models for various steps in coal gasification reactions were developed and applied to investigate the effects of operation parameters on dynamic behavior of gasification process. Chemical reactions considered in these models were pyrolysis, volatile combustion, water shift reaction, steam-methane reformation, and char gasification. Kinetics of heterogeneous reactions between char and gaseous agents was based on Random pore model. Momentum balance and Stokes' law were used to estimate the residence time of solid particles (char) in an up-flow reactor. The effects of operation parameters on syngas composition, reaction temperature, carbon conversion were verified. Parameters considered here for this purpose were $O_2$-to-coal mass ratio, pressure of reactor, composition of coal, diameter of char particle. On the basis of these parametric studies some quantitative parameter-response relationships were established from both dynamic and steady-state point of view. Without depending on steady state approximation, the present model can describe both transient and long-time limit behavior of the gasification system and accordingly serve as a proto-type dynamic simulator of coal gasification process. Incorporation of heat transfer through heterogenous boundaries, slag formation and steam generation is under progress and additional refinement of mathematical models to reflect the actual design of commercial gasifiers will be made in the near futureK.

촤-가스화 반응은 반응온도, 반응가스 부분압력, 시스템 총 압력, 입자크기 등 운전조건뿐만 아니라 촤의 화학적 조성 및 물리적 구조의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 두 종류의 역청탄 촤를 이용하여 반응온도 1,000-$1,400{^{\circ}C}$에서 $CO_{2}$ 가스화시 입자크기의 영향을 관찰하였다. 실험실 규모의 고정식 반응기를 이용하여 대기압 하에서 실험을 수행하였으며 반응가스인 $CO_{2}$(40 vol%)가 반응기에 공급되면 촤와 반응하여 CO를 생성하였다. 촤의 탄소 전환율을 측정하기 위하여 비분산적외선 방식의 CO/$CO_{2}$ 센서가 장착된 실시간 가스분석기를 이용하였다. 실험결과 동일한 온도에서 입자크기가 감소할수록 가스화 반응성은 증가하였으며 온도가 증가할수록 반응성에 미치는 입자크기의 영향은 더욱더 크게 증가하였다. 또한 반응성이 낮은 촤에서 입자크기의 영향은 다소 적게 나타났다. 입자크기와 석탄 종류는 반응모델에도 영향을 주었다. Shrinking core model은 반응성이 낮은 석탄을 잘 묘사했으며 반대로 Volume reaction model은 반응성이 높은 석탄을 잘 묘사하였다.

The laminar combustion characteristics of interacting coal particles in a convective flow are numerically investigated at particle arrangement and size difference. The numerical simulations, which use the two-step global reaction model to account for the surrounding gas effect, show the detailed interaction among the inter-space particles, undergoing devolatilization and subsequent char burning. Several parametric studies, which include the effect of the gas temperature (1700 K), high pressure(10 atm) and variation in geometrical arrangement of the particle diameter on the volatile release rate and the char combustion rate, have been carried out. The comparison indicates that the shift to the multiple particle arrangement resulted in the substantial change of the combustion characteristics and that the volatile release rate of the interacting coal particles exhibits a strong dependency on the particle spacing and size difference.

Char oxidation experiments were performed with a sub-bituminous roto-middle coal in the Drop Tube Furnace (DTF) at atmospheric pressure condition. While temperatures varied between 900, 1100, 1400 $^{\circ}C$, particle size, mass, particle temperature, and CO/$CO_2$ concentration were obtained to be used for kinetic analysis of the char oxidation. This study addresses several different methods to analyze the char consumption rate, which are classified as energy balance method, ash-traced mass method, flue-gas based method, and particle size based method. The char consumption rate obtained with such methods was compared with the results of Monson et al.$^{(24)}$ While there are some differences between them because of differences in experimental apparatus and parameters to be measured, the kinetic results seems to be reasonable enough to be incorporated in a numerical modeling of coal combustion.

저급탄의 가스화에서 얻은 비산재를 활용하기 위한 목적으로 비산재의 열분해와 비산재 촤의 $CO_2$ 가스화반응에 대한 실험을 비등온의 승온 조건(10, 20, $30^{\circ}C$/min)에서 TGA를 이용하여 수행하였다. 비산재의 열분해 속도는 1차의 열분해 모델(Kissinger법)에 의해 해석하였지만, 비산재에 포함된 휘발분의 함량이 낮아 모델의 신뢰도는 낮게 평가되었다. 비산재 촤의 $CO_2$ 가스화반응에 대한 실험결과는 미반응핵 모델, 균일반응 모델 및 랜덤 기공 모델 등으로 해석하여 석탄 촤의 $CO_2$ 가스화반응 결과와 비교하였다. 저탄소가 함유된 비산재 촤(LG탄)는 200.8 kJ/mol의 활성화 에너지로 균일반응 모델의 의해 잘 모사되었으며, 고탄소가 함유된 비산재 촤(KPU탄)의 경우에는 198.3 kJ/mol의 활성화 에너지로 석탄 촤의 $CO_2$ 가스화 특성과 유사하게 랜덤 기공 모델의 의해 잘 모사되었다. 결과로서, 두 비산재 촤의 $CO_2$ 가스화반응에 대한 활성화 에너지는 큰 차이를 나타내지는 않았지만, 고정탄소의 함량에 따라 적용할 수 있는 모델이 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fuel blend technique is one of the most effective way of using biomass to replace the coal. Many studies on combustion characteristics with coal and biomass blends have been conducted. In this study, char reactivity and emission characteristics of coal (Suek) and biomass (EFB) blends has been investigated by TGA and DTF to evaluate the applicability of the pre-treated (torrefaction, ash removal technology) EFB to pulverized coal boiler. In all blending cases, char reactivity improved as the blending ratio increases (10, 20, and 30%), especially torrefied EFB blended at 30%. Also, unburned carbon decreased as the blending ratio increases in all types of EFB. NOx emission showed the increase and decrease characteristics according to the content of fuel-N of raw EFB and torrefied EFB. But the amount of NOx emission at ashless EFB blends is greater than that of Suek despite of lower fuel-N. It indicated that co-firing effect of using the pretreatment biomass fuel is relatively better than those of the untreated biomass fuel about char reactivity and emission characteristics.

Various coals from many countries around the world have been used for pulverized coal boiler in power plants in Korea. In this study, the gasification reactivities of various coal chars with $CO_2$ were investigated. Carbon conversion was measured using a real time gas analyzer with NDIR CO/$CO_2$ sensor. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was devolatilized at $950^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere and became coal char and then further heated up to reach to a desired temperature. Each char was then gasified with $CO_2$ under isothermal conditions. The reactivities of coal chars were investigated at different temperatures. The shrinking core model (SCM) and volume reaction model(VRM) were used to interpret the experiment data. It was found that the SCM and VRM could describe well the experimental results within the carbon conversion of 0-0.98. The gasification rates for various coals were very different. The gasification rate for any coal increased as the volatile matter content increased.

New way to effectively capture $CO_2$ in coal fired power plant is the combustion of coal using oxy-fuel technology. Combustion characteristics of Minco sub-bituminous coal at oxy-fuel conditions using TGA and drop tube furnace (DTF) were included activation energy about the char burnout, volatile yield and combustion efficiency of raw coal, the porosity of pyrolyzed char and fusion temperature of by-product ash. TGA result shows that the effect of $CO_2$ on combustion kinetics reduces activation energy by approximately 7 kJ/mol at air oxygen level(21% $O_2$) and decreases the burning time by approximately 16%. The results from DTF indicated similar combustion efficiency under $O_2/CO_2$ and $O_2/N_2$ atmospheres for equivalent $O_2$ concentration whereas high combustion efficiency under $O_2/N_2$ than $O_2/CO_2$ was obtained for high temperature of more than $1,100^{\circ}C$. Overall coal burning rate under $O_2/CO_2$ is decreased due to the lower rate of oxygen diffusion into coal surface through the $CO_2$ rich boundary layer. By-product ash produced under $O_2/CO_2$ and $O_2/N_2$ was similar IDT in irrelevant to $O_2$ concentration and atmospheres gas during the coal combustion.

Coal is the energy resource which is important with the new remarking energy resource. Coal combustion produces more NOx per unit of energy than any other major combustion technology. Pollutant emission associated with coal combustion will have a huge impact on the environment. Coal conversion has three processes which are drying, coal devolatilization and char oxidation. Coal devolatilization process is important because it has been shown that HCN which is converted from volatile N contributes 60 to 80% of the total NOx produced. This paper addresses mass release behavior of char, tar, gas and HCN in an experiment of Laminar Flow Reactor with two coals such as Roto middle coal (Sub-bituminous) and Anglo coal (Bituminous). The experiment is compared with the data predicted by CPD model for mass release of HCN about Roto south, Indominco, Weris creek and China orch coals. The results show that HCN increases as a function of decreasing the ratio of fixed carbon(FC)/ volatile matter(VM of the coals contain.)
