Most of the fossil power plants firing lower grade coals are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. The poor combustion conditions are directly related to the gas flow deviation in upper furnace and convection tube-bank but a less reported issue related to in large-scale oppose wall fired boilers. In order to develop a on-line combustion monitoring system and suggest an alternative heat flux estimation method at tube bank, which is very useful information for boiler design tool and blower optimizing system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' temperature and tube metal temperature were monitored by using a spatially distributed sensors grid which located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule region. At these locations. the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. Test results showed that the flue gas monitoring method is more proper than metal temperature distribution monitoring for real time combustion monitoring because tube metal temp. distribution monitoring method is related to so many variables such as flue gas, internal flow unbalance, spray etc., Heat flux estimation at the tube bank with flue gas temp. and metal temp. data can be alternative method when tube drilling type sensor can't able to use.

Recently, there has been much research on the effect of fine dust on human body with increasing interest in the fine dust. Thermal power plant, which is considered as one of the main sources of fine dust, is reported to be responsible for 14% of the total amount of domestic fine dust in the Republic of Korea. Therefore, dust collecting devices in the thermal power plant need to be improved. In this study, the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was considered to substitute for a mist eliminator used in flue gas desulfurization facility. By considering real situation in the flue gas desulfurization facility, the collection efficiency of the ESP was evaluated by using the sprayed limestone slurry particles. The collection efficiency of the ESP was higher than that of the mist eliminator, showing the possibility of replacing the mist eliminator with the ESP in flue gas desulfurization facility.

The incineration process has commonly used for wastes amount reduction and thermal treatments of pollutants as the technologies accumulated. However, the process is getting negative public images owing to matter of hazardous pollutants emission. Specially dioxins became a main issue and were mostly emitted from municipal solid wastes incineration. In this reason, pyrolysis/gasification/melting process is presented as an alternative of incineration process. The pyrolysis/gasification/melting process, a novel technology, is middle of verification of commercial plant and development of technologies in Korea. But the survey about the pollutant emission from the process, and background data in these facilities is necessary. So in this survey, t is investigated that the behavior of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols in plasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting plant of pilot scale. We investigated discharging behavior of each phase of chlorobenzene through each process in the plsasma type pyrolysis/gasification/melting process. From this result, it was found that about 99 percent of particle-phase chlorobenzene was removed, but on the other hand gas-phase chlorobenzene was increased by about 600 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling, system and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, this investigation presented that di-chlorobenzene(DCB) tri-chlorobenzene(TCB), tetra-chlorobenzene(TeCB), penta-chlorobenzene (PCB), except mono-chlorobenzene(MCB) and hexa-chlorobenzene(HCB) were increased through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It was investigated that concentration of particle-phase chlorophenol was decreased by about 66 percent, but on the other hand, concentration of gas-phase chlorophenol was increased by about 170 percent through heat exchanger, flue gas cooling system, and semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). Also, it was found that di-chlorophenol(DCP), tri-chlorophenol(TCP), and penta-chlorophenol(PCP) were increased through the flue gas cooling system, and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). It can be considered that small-scale pilot facility and short investigation period might cause the concentration increase through the flue gas cooling system and the semi dry absorption bag filter(SDA/BF). A further study on real-scale pilot facility and accurate investigation may be required.

Functionalized adsorbent has been synthesized by piperazine(Pz) on activated carbon. Quantitative estimations of $CO_2$ were undertaken using gas chromatography with GC/TCD and the prepared adsorbents were characterized by BET surface area and FT-IR. It was also studied effect of various parameters such as piperazine loadings and adsorption temperature. The specific surface area decreased from $1212.0m^2/g$ to $969.8m^2/g$ by impregnation and FT-IR revealed a N-H functional group at about $1400cm^{-1}$ to $1700cm^{-1}$. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity at $20^{\circ}C$ and $50{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ was as follow: AC > Pz(10)-AC> Pz(30)-AC> Pz(50)-AC at $20^{\circ}C$ and Pz(10)-AC > AC > Pz(30)-AC> Pz(50)-AC at $50{\sim}100^{\circ}C$. Therefore, for high temperature flue gas condition, the Pz(10)-AC showed the highest adsorption capacity due to physical adsorption and chemical adsorption by amino-group content. The results suggest that activated carbon impregnated with Pz is an effective adsorbent for $CO_2$ capture from real flue gases above $50^{\circ}C$.

천연가스를 사용하는 복합화력발전소에서 발생되는 질소산화물(NOx)에 대한 귀금속촉매(Pt/Zeolite)의 활성을 디젤유를 환원제로 사용하여 파일럿 규모의 선택적촉매환원장치(selective catalytic reduction)에서 환원제 주입량, 반응온도, 공간속도에 따라 고찰하였다. 시험결과, 디젤유의 주입량을 증가시킬수록 NOx의 전환율은 증가하였으며 C/N비(C/N비: 배기가스 중에 포함된 NOx의 분자수에 대한 환원제 탄소 원자수의 비) 5.5 이상에서는 일정한 전환율을 유지하였다. NOx 전환율에 대한 반응온도의 영향을 알아본 결과, 온도가 증가함에 따라 NOx의 전환율이 증가하여 $190^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 최고 50%의 전환율을 보였다. 7,200/hr~27,000/hr의 범위에서 NOx 전환율에 대한 공간속도의 영향은, 18,500/hr까지 일정한 전환율을 유지하였으며 그 이상에서는 감소하였다. 이상의 결과에서 디젤유를 환원제로 사용하는 질소산화물 제거를 위한 SCR 공정의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

산업체에서 많이 사용되는 연소공정은 배가스 성분의 회수나 제거를 필요로 한다. 최근에는 배가스로부터 이산화탄소를 회수하기 위해 제올라이트 13X를 사용하는 MBA(이동상흡착) 공정이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 제올라이트 13X에 대한 이산화탄소, 질소, 이산화황 및 수증기의 흡착 실험을 수행하여 흡착평형 및 고체입자 안으로의 흡착속도를 조사하였다. 여러 실험온도에서의 흡착데이터를 Langmuir, Toth, Freundlich 등온흡착식에 적용하여 각 흡착등온식의 파라미터를 구했고, 이론식에 의한 예측값과 실험데이터가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 이산화황과 수증기가 불순물로 존재할 경우에 주성분인 이산화탄소의 흡착량을 측정하였다. 이성분 흡착 데이터는 순수 성분에 대해 얻어진 파라미터를 extended Langmuir 등온흡착식에 적용하여 예측한 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 다만, $H_2O$ 불순물이 대략 ${\sim}10^{-5}H_2O\;mol/g$ zeolite 13X 이하 존재할 때에는 $CO_2$ 흡착량이 순수 $CO_2$의 흡착보다 오히려 소량 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 실험으로 측정한 흡착속도를 구형 입자 확산모델에 적용하여 이산화탄소, 이산화황, 질소, 수분의 확산계수와 활성화에너지를 구했다. 미량의 불순물이 흡착되어있을 때는 이산화탄소나 이산화황의 확산계수가 줄어들었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 파라미터 값들은 실제 흡착공정의 설계에 유용할 것이다.

This study investigated mercury emission at various combustion conditions and analyzed mercury species in flue gas from coal combustion at a laboratory scale furnace in coal. The results of this study can be used to predict and to assess mercury emission at coal boilers and power plants. The coal used in the plants generally contains about $0.02{\sim}0.28\;mg$ of mercury per kg. Bituminous and anthracite coal used for the experiment contained 0.049 and 0.297 mg/kg of mercury, respectively. Mercury emissions during coal combustion at temperatures range of $600^{\circ}C$ to $1,400^{\circ}C$ was measured and analysed using Ontario Hydro method; the speciation changes were also observed in mercury emissions. The results showed higher fraction of elemental mercury than that of oxidised mercury at most temperatures tested in this experiment. The fraction of elemental mercury was lower in combustion of anthracite coal than in bituminous combustion. As expected, equilibrium calculations and real power plants data showed good similarity. The distribution of particle size in flue gas had the higher peak in size above $2.5\;{\mu}m$. However the peak of mercury enrichment in dust was at $0.3\;{\mu}m$, which could be easily emitted into atmosphere without filtration in combustion system. When the CEA(Chemical equilibrium and Application) code was used for combustion equilibrium calculation, Cl was found to be the important component effecting mercury oxidation, especially at the lower temperatures under $900^{\circ}C$.
