Abstract

To investigate the effects of the number of multiple-cycles and $SO_2$ concentration on $CO_2$ absorption characteristics by means of limestone, $CO_2$ capture capacity has been measured in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor (0.1m 1.D., 1.17m high). Danyang limestone was used as a $CO_2$ sorbent and the number of cycles $(\~10th\;cycle)$ and $SO_2$ concentrations (0, 2000, 4000 ppm) were considered as variables. The measured $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased and it showed $50\%$ or initial value after 10 cycles. Moreover, $CO_2$ rapture capacity decreased with 501 concentrations. For three different $SO_2$ concentrations, the total CaO utilization was almost the same but $SO_2$ capture capacity increased and $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as $SO_2$ concentration increased. These results suggest that $SO_2$ capture reaction is predominant over $CO_2$ capture reaction in the simultaneous $CO_2/SO_2$ capture conditions.

석회석의 $CO_2$ 흡수반응에 미치는 흡수/재생 반응의 반복횟수와 $SO_2$ 농도의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 내경 0.1m,높이 1.17m의 기포유동층에서 $CO_2$흡수능력의 변화를 측정 및 고찰하였다 $CO_2$흡수제로는 단 양산 석회석이 사용되었으며 실험변수로는 반복횟수$(\~10회)$$SO_2$ 농도 (0, 2000, 4000ppm)를 고려하였다. $CO_2$흡수능력은 반복횟수가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며 10회 반복 후에는 초기성능의 $50\%$까지 감소하였다. 또한 $CO_2$흡수능력은 $SO_2$ 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 세 가지의 $CO_2$ 농도조건에 대해 총 CaO 이용률은 일정하게 유지되었으며 $SO_2$ 농도가 증가함에 따라 $SO_2$흡수능력은 증가하고 $CO_2$흡수능력은 감소하여, $CO_2/SO_2$동시흡수 반응에서 $SO_2$흡수반응이 $CO_2$흡수반응보다 우세하게 일어남을 알 수 있었다.
