  • Patent number: 9879194
    Abstract: Provided is a method of economically modifying low rank coal (LRC) to be high grade coal having minimized water re-absorption and minimized spontaneous ignition possibility while saving energy by coating heavy oil directly on coal without using solvent oil. Provides is a method of modifying coal using palm oil residue, including milling the coal, homogenously mixing the palm oil residue with the milled coal, melting the palm oil residue mixed with the coal so as to be coated on a surface of the coal, and simultaneously drying moisture in the coal, cooling the dried coal, and briquetting the cooled coal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2018
    Assignee: Korea Institute of Energy Research

  • Patent number: 7850750
    Abstract: There is provided a modularized hybrid dust collector for treating dust generated in various industrial processes. The box-shaped hybrid dust collector includes a first box-shaped dust collecting unit or a first cylindrical dust collecting unit, to which the inertial impaction and the principle of collecting dust using the centrifugal force are applied, and a second box-shaped dust collecting unit implemented by a dust collecting filter such that a problem of employing a cleaner and a limit of capacity, of a conventional cylindrical dust collector, can be overcome, and a high capacity modularized hybrid dust collector in which the box-shaped hybrid dust collector as a basic module and a plurality of dust collector modules are combined.

  • Publication number: 20060093740
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing nanofilter media includes feeding catalyst nanoparticles into a reactor to attach the catalyst nanoparticles to microfilter media located in the reactor and serving as a substrate; feeding a source gas and a reactive gas onto the catalyst nanoparticles; and heating the reactor to synthesize and grow, in the reactor, from the catalyst nanoparticles, any of nanotubes and nanofibers, to obtain a nanofilter media composed of the nanotubes or nanofibers.
