국내외 석탄화력발전소에서 REC(Renewable energy certificate) 확보를 위해 혼소되고 있는 바이오매스는 기존의 목질계 바이오매스인 우드 펠릿에서부터 최근 들어 초본계 바이오매스로의 확대가 진행되고 있다. 초본계 바이오매스의 경우 목질계 바이오매스에 비해 K, Na 등의 알칼리계 금속 함량이 더 높아 회융점이 더 낮고, 이 때문에 보일러 튜브에의 회 점착을 늘려 보일러의 효율을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초본계 바이오매스 연소시 회 융점을 높여 회 점착을 감소시키기 위해 많이 사용되고 있는 첨가제인 카올린(kaolin)이 석탄-바이오매스 혼소시 미치는 영향을 열화학 평형 계산을 통해 분석하고자 하였다. 이전 연구에서 수행된 80 kW_th 급 미분탄 - 바이오매스 혼소 실험에서 카올린을 사용하는 경우 오히려 회 점착량이 늘어나는 원인을 해석을 통해 분석하였으며, 해석을 수행한 결과 석탄에 많이 포함되어 있는 Al₂O₃ 때문에, Al-Si 계열 첨가제인 카올린 투입시 aluminosilicate 화합물의 생성이 촉진되어 용융점이 낮은 mullite가 많이 형성, 카올린을 더 사용할수록 슬래그 생성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 바이오매스 혼소율을 0~100%까지 10% 간격으로 증가시켜가면서 해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 비선형적인 액상 슬래그 생성 특성을 확인하였다. 결과적으로는 바이오매스 혼소율 50~60% 조건일 때 가장 적은 량의 액상 슬래그가 생성됨을 파악하였다. phase diagram을 분석한 결과, 고용융점 화합물(leucite, feldspar)이 해당 조건에서 가장 많이 생성되는 것을 확인하였다.

Low density ceramic supporter was prepared by using fly ash as a starting material for the application to the biological aerated filter (BAF) system, and the effect of additives and sintering atmosphere on the apparent and bulk density of the carrier was examined. Borax, Na$_2$O and glass powders were added to produce liquid phase. The density of the supporter decreased as the amount of borax increased. The bulk density of 0.79 g/㎤ and the apparent density of 1.10 g/㎤ were obtained when the fly ash with 15% of borax was sintered at 116$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. The density also decreased as the plate glass powders past through 22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size were mixed. When the fly ash with 12% of grass powder was sintered at 128$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes, the bulk and apparent density were 0.90g/㎤ and 1.00 g/㎤, respectively. Apparent density of 1.6~1.8g/㎤ was obtained when the fly ash was sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ in a weak reducing atmosphere. By maintaining the reducing atmosphere and sintering at a high heating rate, the liquid phase was farmed from the reduced composition of fly ash. This resulted in the formation of closed pores that enabled the low apparent density.

Emission control of acid exhaust gases from coal-fired power plants and waste incinerators has become an increasing concern of both industries and regulators. Among those gaseous emissions, SO$_{2}$ has been eliminated by a Spray Drying Absorber (SDA) system, where the exhaust gas is mixed with atomized limestone-water slurry droplets and then the chemical reaction of SO$_{2}$ with alkaline components of the liquid feed forms sulfates. Liquid atomization is necessary because it maximizes the reaction efficiency by increasing the total surface area of the alkaline components. An experimental study was performed with a laboratory scale SDA to investigate whether the scrubbing efficiency for SO$_{2}$ reduction increased or not with the application of a DC electric field to the limestone-water slurry. For a selected experimental condition SO$_{2}$ concentrations exited from the reactor were measured with various applied voltages and liquid flow rates. The applied voltage varied from -10 to 10 kV by 1 kV, and the volume flow rate of slurry was set to 15, 25, 35 ml/min which were within the range of emission mode. Consequently, the SO$_{2}$ scrubbing efficiency increased with increasing the applied voltage but was independent of the polarity of the applied voltage. For the electrical and flow conditions considered a theoretical study of estimating average size and charge of the atomized droplets was carried out based on the measured current-voltage characteristics. The droplet charge to mass ratio increased and the droplet diameter decreased as the strength of the applied voltage increased.

Drilling Mud Treatment Systems are widely used for Oil Gas drilling mud circulation, horizontal directional drilling mud recycling, geothermal drilling, mining, coal exploration drilling, water well drilling. Degasser is a device used in drilling to remove gasses from drilling fluid which could otherwise form bubbles. For small amounts of entrained gas in a drilling fluid, the degasser can play a major role of removing small bubbles that a liquid film has enveloped and entrapped. As with the desander, its purpose is to remove unwanted solids from the mud system. The smaller cones allow the desilter to efficiently remove smaller diameter drill solids. In this study, a simulation study is conducted on the degasser of the facility in the Mud Treatment System to conduct a performance review on the gas separation in the mud.

This study was conducted to recycle fly ash containing an abundance of CaO generated from combustion in a circulating layer as a carbon storage medium. The study utilized XRD, TG-DTA and XRF analyses during the hydration of fly ash and identified calcium substances within fly ash that could be used in a carbonation process. $Ca^{2+}$ ions in the calcium substances were easily converted to hydrates. A carbonation experiment was done, which used the method of $CO_2$ gas injection to produce suspensions by mixing fly ash with distilled water. The results were analyzed using TG-DTA, XRD, and pH meter measurements. The study was able to verify that the reaction was completed at a $CO_2$ flow rate of 300cc/min approximately 30 minutes after an injection into a solution with a solid-liquid ratio of 1 : 10 of fly ash and distilled water. Moreover, the stirring time of the suspensions did not influence the reaction, and the reaction time was found to diminish as the portion of the fly ash became smaller. Thus, this study produced carbon storage fly ash having a $CO_2$ storage rate of about 71% through the utilization of the CaO content contained within fly ash.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Although hydrogen can produce three times more energy than gasoline and seven times than coal, the most challenging problem in utilizing hydrogen as energy carrier is its storage problem. In contrast to the liquid hydrocarbon, hydrogen can not be stored or transported easily and safely because of its extremely low boiling point(21K). Recently scientists have made a tremendous achievement in storing hydrogen capacity in solid state materials such as carbon based and metal organic frameworks materials as well as metal hydrides. In this review the author reviewed the status of the hydrogen storage technologies in solid state, the advantages and disadvantages in each category of materials and the future prospects of hydrogen storage.

황화수소 산화반응에 이용할 수 있는 균주를 전남 화순 근교의 폐탄광수에서 분리하였다. 분리균주는 형태적, 생리학적 빛 화학합성 특정에 기준으로 보 면 Thiobacillus sp. IW.로 동정되어진다. 분리된 균주의 최적 배양온도는 $30^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 7이며, pH 3~pH 9 사이의 넓은 성장범위를 가지고 있었다. 액상배지에 축적된 sulfate 농도가 배지의 pH를 감소시켜 결국 균의 성장을 억제하는 작용을 하였다. 최대 비증식속도인$\mu_{max}=0.78^{-1}$이었고, 세대시 간은 0.9시간으로 나타났다. 분리균주는 질소원으로 potassium nitrate나 glutamic acid를 이용하였으나, urea나 ammonium chloride는 이용하지 못하였다. 기본배지에 첨가된 malate는 전혀 이용하지 못 하였고, Sodium thiosulfate를 에너지원으로 이용하 면 균체량은 $6.25mg/\ell.h$였으며, 대수성장기는 18 시간으로 나타났다. 이의 결과로 미루어 보아 분리 균주는 황화수소 등의 악취 제거에 유용한 균주로 사료되어 진다.

Syngas is widely produced by incomplete combustion of coal, water vapor, and air (oxygen) in a high-temperature/high-pressure gasifier through a coal-gasification process for power generation. In this study, a simulation syngas which was mainly composed of $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$, and $N_2$ was fueled with diesel. A modified single cylinder compression ignition (CI) engine is equipped with intake port syngas supply system and mechanical diesel direct injection system for dual fuel combustion. Combustion and emission characteristics of the engine were investigated by applying various syngas composition ratios and compression ratios. Diesel fuel injection timing was optimized to increase indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) at the engine speed 1,800 rpm and part load net indicated mean effective pressure ($IMEP_{net}$) 2 to 5 bar. ITE of the engine increased with the $H_2$ concentration, compression ratio and engine load. With 45% of $H_2$ concentration, compression ratio 17.1 and $IMEP_{net}$ 5 bar, ITE of 41.5% was achieved, which is equivalent to that of only diesel fuel operation.
