Abstract

To develop a chemical-looping combustion technology, conceptual design of 50 kW thermal chemical-looping combustor, which is composed of two interconnected pressurized circulating fluidized beds, was performed by means of mass and energy balance calculations. A riser type fast fluidized bed was selected as an oxidizer and a bubbling fluidized bed was selected as a reducer by mass balance for the chemical-looping combustor. Calculated values of bed mass, solid circulation flux, and reactor dimension by mass and energy balance calculations were suitable for construction and operation of chemical-looping combustor. It is concluded from the comparison of the design results and operating values of commercial circulating fluidized bed that the process outline is realistic. Moreover, the previous results support that oxygen carrier particle, NiO/bentonite, fulfills the conversion rates needed for the proposed design. The effects of system capacity, metal oxide content in a oxygen carrier particle, amount of steam input, gas velocity, and solid depth on design values were investigated and the changes in the system performance can be estimated by proposed design tool.

매체순환식 가스연소기의 개발을 위해 산화반응기와 환원반응기가 연계된 2탑 가압순환유동층 조건의 50kWth 매체순환식 가스연소기에 대해 물질수지와 에너지수지를 통한 개념설계를 수행하였다. 매체순환식 가스연소기의 물질수지를 통해 산화반응기는 상승관 형태의 고속유동층 조건으로, 환원반응기는 기포유동층 조건으로 반응기 형태를 결정하였다. 물질수지와 에너지수지에 의해 계산된 층내 고체량, 고체순환량 및 반응기 크기는 장치제작 및 실제조업에 적당한 범위의 값을 나타내었으며 산소공여입자의 반응속도는 만족할 만한 수준에 도달하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 개념설계 결과에 의하면 매체순환식 가스연소기의 조업조건은 상용 순환유동층의 조업조건과 유사하였으며 실제공정에 적용하기에 무리가 없는 것으로 사료되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 설계 tool을 이용하여 시스템의 용량, 조업압력, 산소공여입자 중의금속산화물의 함량, 수증기 주입량, 기체유속 및 고체층 높이 등의 변화에 따른 설계 값의 변화를 해석하였으며 이를 통해 조업조건 변화에 따른 시스템의 성능변화를 예측할 수 있었다.
