초록
고유가 대응방안으로 저등급 석탄의 효과적인 활용기술에 대해 고찰하였다. 현재 산업체에서 사용하는 석탄 중에 갈탄과 아역청탄이 저등급 석탄에 속하며 매장량이 풍부하고 세계적으로 고르게 분포되어 있지만 높은 수분 함량과 자연발화 가능성으로 인해 활용이 많이 되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저등급 석탄으로부터 화학적 정제기술을 이용하여 초청정석탄을 제조하는 기술에 대하여 고찰하였다. 회분 제거기술인 UCC 공정과 가연성분 추출기술인 Hyper Coal 공정을 비교하였다. 회분 제거기술인 UCC(Ultra Clean Coal) 공정은 Hyper Coal 공정에 비해 단순하다는 장점이 있지만 생성물의 회분 농도가 0.1% 이상으로 높다. 가연성분 추출 기술인 Hyper Coal 공정은 용매추출과 이온제거공정 등 구성은 복잡하지만 회분이 200ppm 이하로 생성된다. 초청정석탄은 오일과 동일 등급의 초 청정연료로써 산업용 석유를 대체하고 장기적으로는 IGCC와 IGFC, 그리고 차세대 고도연소기술의 연료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
Efficient use of low rank coals (LRC) have been investigated as a method to cope with recent high oil price. Among the coals used in industry, lignite and sub-bituminous coals are belong to the LRC, and have abundant deposit and are distributed worldwide, but high moisture contents and self ignition properties inhibits their utilization. In this paper, chemical coal cleaning to produce ash-free coal from LRC has been investigated. Two technologies, that is, UCC(Ultra Clean Coal) process removing ash from coal and Hyper Coal process extracting combustibles from coal were compared with. UCC process has merits of simple and reliable when it compared with Hyper Coal process, but the remaining ash contents werehigher than Hyper Coal. Hyper Coal has ash contents under the 200ppm when raw coal is treated with appropriate solvent and ion exchange materials to remove alkali materials in extracted solution. The ash-free coal which is similar grade with oil can be used as alternate oil in the industry, and also used as a high grade fuel for IGCC, IGFC and other advanced combustion technology.
