Abstract

The experimental kinetics was analyzed for commercial rubbers such as NR, IR, BR, SBR 1500, and SBR 1700. Kinetic analysis for the commercial rubbers was performed using a thermogravimetric method, which the activation energies of NR obtained by Kissinger, Friedman, ana Ozawa's method were 195.0, 198.3, and 186.3 kJ/mol, respectively. whereas that of SBR 1500 were 246.4, 247.5, and 254.8 kJ/mol, respectively. It was shown that the yield of pyrolytic oil was generally increased with increasing the final temperature. Considering the effect of heating rate. it was found that the yield of pyrolytic oil was not consistent for each sample. The number average molecular weight of pyrolitic oil of SBR 1500 was in the range of 740-2486. The calorific value of SBR 1500 was 39-40 kJ/g, and it might be a considerable energy potential although it was lower than the conventional fuel such as kerosene, diesel, light fuel, and heavy fuel.

범용고무인 NR, IR, BR, SBR 1500, SBR 1700의 열분해 특성에 대한 속도론적 해석을 실험데이터를 이용하여 수행하였다. 열분석법을 사용하여 범용고무의 속도론적 해석을 수행하였으며, Kissinger 방법, Friedman 방법, Ozawa 방법에 의한 NR의 활성화 에너지는 각각 195.0, 198.3, 186.3 kJ/mol로 나타났으며, SBR 1500의 활성화에너지는 각각 246.4, 247.5, 254.8kJ/mol이었다. 열분해 공정의 생성물은 전반적으로 최종 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 가열 속도의 영향에 따른 오일의 수율 증감은 각 시료마다 차이를 보이고 있었다. SBR 1500의 열분해 후 회수된 오일의 수평균 분자량은 740-2486로 나타났다. 또한 발열량을 측정한 결과 39-40kJ/g의 발열량을 나타내었는데, 이러한 값은 현재 연료로 사용되고 있는 kerosene, diesel, 경유, 중유의 발열량보다는 작은 것이지만 연료로서의 에너지 준위가 양호한 것으로 판단된다.
