The aim of this study is to find out the condition that generates maximum $H_2$ through the calculation of equilibrium model with conditions of pyrolysis gases of Refuse Plastic Fuel(RPF). This study deals with the computational simulation of a RPF gasification using an equilibrium model based on minimization of the Gibbs free energy. An equilibrium analysis was carried out to determine species composition of Syngas in RPF gasification and reactions to variation of temperature, $O_2$/Fuel ratio and Steam/Fuel ratio. Calculated results showed that $O_2$/Fuel ratio, Steam/Fuel ratio and temperature affected on mole fraction of $H_2$, CO.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate gasification process of wood sawdust in the I-dimensional downdraft fixed bed gasifier. The preheated air was used oxidizer and steam were used as a gasifying agent. The operating parameters, the supplied air temperature and steam were used. The oxidizer temperature was varied from 500K to 620K and vapor was added. The gasification process was monitored by measuring temperature at three position near the biomass using R-type thermocouples and the syngas composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph. The change of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane was observed. Overall, the volume fraction of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

The present work determined the flame structure characteristics of coal syngas combusted inside swirl burners with various nozzle types. Fuel nozzle types are largely classified into two groups of axial and tangential. Experiments were carried out for investigating the effects of fuel nozzle geometry, fuel composition ratio, heating rate, excess air, and degree of swirl on the turbulent diffusion flame structure. To determine the characteristics of the flame structure, axial type fuel nozzle diameter of laboratory-scale combustor is varied to 1.23, 1.96, and 2.95 ㎜ and the direction of tangential type nozzles are varied to radial, clockwise, and counter-clockwise. The comparison of the experimental results was performed to understand functional parameters relating the flame structure. Data analysis showed that the vertical straight flame height generally decreased with increasing swirl number and decreasing axial type nozzle diameter. Flame height established with tangential type nozzle is 3 times shorter than that with vertical type. The flame structures among the 3 different tangential fuel nozzles relatively showed no particular difference. By increasing the heating rate, the width of flame increased generally in both vertical and tangential flame. Within the present experimental parameters of the investigation, flame structure is mainly depends on the nozzle type of the combustor. The visually investigated flame lengths are confirmed through the analysis of temperature profile of each flame.

본 연구에서는 바이오매스 합성가스를 모사하여 합성가스의 주요성분에 따른 자착화 특성을 실험 및 수치적으로 고찰하였으며, 온도, 혼합물의 조성, 압력의 변화가 자착화 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 충격파관(Shock Tube)을 이용하여 모사 합성가스의 점화지연 시간을 측정하였고, 수치해석은 실험결과 검증과 연소과정 중 중간화학종 분석을 위해 상용프로그램인 CHEMKIN-PRO를 사용하였다. 모든 온도 조건에서 혼합물 내의 수소의 몰 비율이 증가함에 따라 점화지연 시간이 감소하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 1150K 이상의 온도 조건에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 점화지연 시간이 감소하는 현상을 확인 할 수 있었다. 하지만 1150K 이하의 온도 조건에서는 압력이 증가함에 따라 점화지연 시간이 증가하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper describes the calculation method to obtain the product composition of coal pyrolysis at high pressure and high temperature. The products of coal pyrolysis should be determined for the coal gasifier simulation, and this is the first step of the coal gasifier simulation. The pyrolysis product distribution greatly affects the coal gasifier efficiency such as carbon conversion, cold gas efficiency and the syngas composition at the outlet of the gasifier. The present calculation method is based on the coal ultimate/proximate analysis and several correlations among gasifier pressure, coal properties and pyrolysis products. The calculated products for 5 coals have been compared with those from the commercial pyrolysis model.

Fischer-Tropsch 합성(F-T 합성)은 석탄, 바이오매스, 천연가스 등을 개질하여 얻은 합성 가스(CO, $H_2$)를 촉매를 이용하여 탄화수소로 전환 하는 기술이다. Fischer-Tropsch 합성에 이용되는 촉매는 활성 금속, 조촉매, 지지체로 구성되는데 이들의 종류와 조성은 반응의 활성 및 생성물 선택도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$와 $SiO_2$ 혼합 지지체의 조성이 Fiscsher-Tropsch 반응의 활성과 생성물 선택도에 미치는 영향을 알아 보기위해, ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ 혼합 지지체를(100/0 wt%, 75/25 wt%, 50/50 wt%, 25/75 wt%, 0/100 wt%) 이용하여 함침(impregnation)법으로 철 촉매를 제조하였다. 촉매의 물리적 특성은 질소 물리 흡착 법과 X-선 회절 분석법을 통해 분석 하였고, 고정층 반응기에서 Fischer-Trosch 반응을 $300^{\circ}C$, 20bar에서, 60시간 동안 수행 하였다. 촉매의 물리적 특성 분석 결과 촉매의 BET 표면적은 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$의 조성이 감소함에 따라 감소하였으며, 촉매 기공의 부피 및 평균 크기는 지지체 조성이 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ (50/50 wt%)인 경우를 제외 하고 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, X-선 회절 분석법을 통해 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 입자 크기를 계산한 결과 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$의 조성이 감소함에 따라 입자 크기가 감소 하였다. Fischer-Tropsch 합성 결과 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$의 조성이 감소함에 따라 CO 전환율은 감소 하였으며, C1-C4의 선택도는 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$의 조성이 25 wt%일 때 까지 감소하였으며 이와 반대로, C5+의 선택도는 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$의 조성이 25 wt%일 때 까지 증가 하였다.

LFG (Land-Fill Gas) includes components of $CH_4$, $CO_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$, and water. The preparation of synthesis gas from LFG as a DME (Dimethyl Ether) feedstock was studied by methane reforming of $CO_2$, $O_2$ and steam over NiO-MgO-$CeO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. Our experiments were performed to investigate the effects of methane conversion and syngas ratio on the amount of LFG components over NiO-MgO-$CeO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. Results were obtained through the activity reaction experiments at the temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ and GHSV of 4,000. The results were as following; it has generally shown that methane conversion rate increased with the increase of oxygen and carbon dioxide amounts. Highly methane conversion of 92~93% and syngas ratio of approximately 1.0 were obtained in the feed of gas composition flow-rate of 243ml/min of $CH_4$, 241ml/min of $CO_2$, 195ml/min of $O_2$, 48ml/min of $N_2$, and 360ml/min of water, respectively, under reactor pressure of 15 bar for 50 hrs of reaction time. Also, it was shown that catalyst deactivation by coke formation was reduced by excessively adding oxygen and steam as an oxidizer of the methane reforming.

Anode off-gas of high temperature fuel cell still contains combustible components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon. In this study, a catalytic combustor has been applied to the high temperature fuel cell so that the combustion of anode-off gas can be boosted up. Since the performance of catalytic combustor directly depends on the combustion catalyst, this study is designed to perform the experimental investigation on the combustion characteristics of the three commercial catalysts with a different composition. Screening tests with three catalysts are preceded before the performance examination since it is necessary to determine the most suitable catalyst for design configuration of the catalytic combustor. The performance analysis shows that methane conversion rate strongly depends on gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) as well as inlet gas temperature. Additionally, the GSHV optimization results show that the optimum GHSV will be in the range between 18,000 $hr^{-1}$ and 36,000 $hr^{-1}$. It is also shown that the minimum inlet temperature of catalytic reaction of methane is from $100^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$.
