In korea, 500MW standard coal fired power plants were designed and operated for the initial base load, so facility stability was prioritized from facility problem to treatment, but now we needed to research for minimizing greehouse gas emissions at the operation of coal fired power plants. research on various facilities and technologies was actively conducted to reduce environment pollutants was drastically reduced, but research and attempts on coping measures in the event of a reduction facility problem were in sufficient. this study considered investigated ways to minimized pollutants by quickly responding to logic development and application of the load runback concept in case of serious problems with environmental pollutant reduction facilities such as NOx reduction selective catalytic reduction facilities, SOx reduction wet flue gas desulpherisation facilities, and TSP(Total Suspended Particles) collection low temperature electric precipitator.

분리막 공정은 압력장치에 사용되는 전기 사용량이 많아 이를 줄이기 위한 다양한 공정 옵션이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분리막 공정에서 막 모듈에 sweeping 기체를 permeate에 불어넣어 모듈의 구동력을 증가시키는 방법으로, 특별한 공정 장치 추가 없이도, 효율적인 CO2 분리가 되는 공정을 연구하였다. 분리막 공정은 주요 장치비용(분리막, 압축기 등)과 운영비용(전기, 스팀)을 평가 하였다. MATLABⓇ에서 분리막 모델을 개발하었으며, 분리막 공정에 가능한 모 든 구조들을 초구조로 경제성 평가 모델을 기준으로 평가되었다. 본 연구는 2014년도 정부(미래창조과학부)의 재원으로 (재)한국이산화탄소포집 및 처리연구개발센터의 지원을 받아 수행된 연구임(2014M1A8A1049305).

Global warming has pressured companies to put a greater emphasis on environment management which allows them to reduce environmental impact and costs of their operations. In Korea, the coal-fired power plants take a large account of electricity generation at 31.7% of the total electricity usage in 2014. Thus, environmental impact of coal-fired power plants is significant. This paper illustrated how to compute environmental impact and costs in electricity generation at a coal-fired power plant using MFCA methodology. Compared to the traditional accounting, an advantage of MFCA is to provide information on electricity generation costs and environmental wastes incurring throughout the production process of electricity. Based on MFCA, the coal-fired power plant was able to reduce production cost of electricity by 52.3%, and environmental wastes by 47.7%. As a result, MFCA seemed to be an effective tool in environmental management for power plants.

석탄회는 독특한 화학조성과 광물학적 특징을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 해안가에 위치한 영동화력발전소의 매립 호수에서 배출되는 석탄회와 주변 해수와의 반응에서 토착 미생물이 중금속 용출에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 매립 호수의 pH는 6.3-8.5로 나타났다. 본 연구를 위해 매립 호수의 세 지점을 선정하여 각 지점에서 석탄회(0.4 L)와 해수(1.6 L)가 혼합된 세 개의 시료를 채취하였다. 채취한 시료는 각각 120˚C, 2.5기압 환경하에서 멸균 처리하고, 미생물의 활동을 촉진하기 위해 글루코스를 첨가하여 배양하였으며, 나머지 하나는 자연 상태로 60일 동안 보관하면서 박테리아의 활동에 따른 지화학적 변화과정을 살펴보았다. 다른 시료와 비교하여 글루코스를 첨가한 시료에서 15일 후에 알카리도가 크게 증가하였으며, Mg, Ca, K와 같은 양이온은 글루코스를 넣은 시료에서 초기에 증가하다가 15일 이후 감소하였다. SO42-는 글루코스를 첨가한 시료에서 크게 감소하였다. 이러한 지화학적 결과는 매립 호수에 서식하는 박테리아의 활동성과 관련이 있다. 이러한 결과는 석탄회 내에 서식하는 박테리아의 특성을 이해하기 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recycling industrial wastes such as fly ash from a coal burning heat power plant and shell from an oyster farming were investigated to prevent environment contamination as well as to enhance the value of recycling materials. In this study, the lightweight aggregates and the red bricks were fabricated from fly ashes with other inorganic materials and wastes. The starting materials of the lightweight aggregate were fly ash powder and water glass, and the compacts of these materials were heat treated at . The fabricated lightweight aggregates had low bulk density, , hence floated on the water and had the strength of 7.0-11.0 MPa and the modulus of 2900-3300 MPa which indicates it has enough strength as the aggregate. Another type of the light weight aggregate was prepared from fly ashes, shell powders and clays. The bulk density, porosity, and compressive strength of these aggregates were and 5-12 MPa, respectively. The addition of a small amount of fly ash powder prevented hydration of the light weight aggregates. The red brick was also fabricated from the fly ash containing materials. It is suitable for the brick facing of a building as it has moderate strength and low water absorption rate.

Coal-fired thermal power generation was a very important power source in Korea. Therefore improvement of seismic reliability of the coal-fired thermal power plants is required, because occurrence of very large earthquakes is expected in Korea. Boilers of coal-fired power plants are usually suspended from the upper end of support structures in order to allow thermal expansion of the boilers, so boilers easily sway during earthquakes. In order to suppress the vibration, stoppers made of steel are generally installed between boilers and their support structures. Although stoppers made of steel are effective for vibration suppression, further countermeasure for earthquakes having long duration and many after shocks is required. This study has developed a hybrid damper for vibration and seismic control of coal-fired power plant boiler. The hybrid damper consists of an oil damper and a friction damper connected in series.

화력발전소 전기집진기에서 포집되는 FA(Fly ash)는 재활용률이 높으나 화력발전소 노에 떨어지는 BA(Bottom ash)는 FA에 비해 매우 낮은 편이다. 또한 FA에 대한 연구는 활발하게 진행되고 있는 반면 BA에 대해서는 매우 저조하다. 한편 지속적으로 건축 공사 수요가 있지만 건축 재료를 과거처럼 용이하게 그리고 저렴하게 공급 받기는 더욱 어려워지고 있는 실정이므로 BA를 건축 재료로 활용할 수 있게 하는 연구는 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재활용률이 저조하여 처리에 부담이 되었던 BA를 최대한 재활용할 수 있도록 건축 재료로 연구 개발하여 BA 재활용률을 높일 뿐만 아니라 BA 처리의 부담을 줄이고, 또한 저렴한 건축 재료를 용이하게 다량 확보할 수 있도록 화력발전소에서 발생한 BA가 건축 재료로 갖고 있는 다양한 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 화력발전소에서 발생한 BA를 건축 재료로의 특성에 대하여 연구를 진행한 결과 타 재료에 비해 경량성과 단열성이 매우 우수함은 물론 원적외선 방사률 등도 비교적 우수하게 나타났다.

Coal-fired power plants emit various Particulate Matter(PM) at coal storage pile and ash landfill as well as the stack, and affect the surrounding environment. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray analyzer(FE-SEM/EDX) were used to develop identification factor and the physico-chemical analysis of PM emitted from a power plant. In this study, three samples of pulverized coal, bottom ash, and fly ash were analyzed. The pulverized coal was spherical particles in shape and the chemical composition of C-O-Si-Al and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 200~300 on average. The bottom ash was spherical or non-spherical particles in shape, chemical composition was O-C-Si-Al-Fe-Ca and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 4.3±4.6 and 8.8±10.0. The fly ash was spherical particles in shape, chemical composition was O-Si-Ai-C-Fe-Ca and C/Si and C/Al ratios were 0.5±0.2 and 0.8±0.5.

This study evaluates the adsorption properties of Sr ions in an aqueous solution of the synthetic zeolite (Z-Y1) prepared using coal fly ash generated from a thermal power plant. In order to investigate the adsorption characteristics, the effects of various parameters such as the initial concentrations of Sr ion, contact time, and solution pH were investigated in a batch mode. The Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson model fitted the adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Sr ions, as determined the Langmuir model, was 181.68 mg/g. It was found that by varying the Sr ion concentration, pH, and temperature, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model describes the adsorption kinetics of the Sr ion better than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The calculated thermodynamic parameters of ΔH0 and ΔG0 showed that the adsorption of Sr ions on Z-Y1 was occurred through a spontaneous and an endothermic reaction. We found that the adsorption of Sr ions by Z-Y1 was more affected by pH than by temperature and Sr ion concentration.
