Abstract

The experiments for separation and recovery of CO$_2$ were conducted by aqueous sodium glycinate solution, which is one of the amino acid salts, as an absorbent of CO$_2$ in this study. Absorption capacities of aqueous MEA and sodium glycinate solution according to partial pressure of CO$_2$ were evaluated by vapor-liquid equilibrium tests of 20 wt% and 30 wt% above-mentioned absorbents, respectively. In addition, the pilot scale(2 t-CO$_2$/day) experiments based on prior results were carried out. As a result, CO$_2$ removal efficiency of aqueous sodium glycinate solution was lower than that of aqueous MEA solution. This phenomenon means that CO$_2$ removal efficiency of aqueous sodium glycinate solution mainly depends on its molecular structure. Consequently, the first application of certain amino acid salt, as an absorbent of CO$_2$, to pilot plant of 2 t-CO$_2$/day scale was carried out in our country.

본 논문에서는 아미노산염의 일종인 글리신산나트륨(sodium glycinate) 수용액을 이산화탄소(CO$_2$) 흡수제로 사용하여 이산화탄소 분리회수 특성평가 실험을 수행하였다. 흡수제와 이산화탄소의 기-액 흡수평형 실험을 통하여 흡수제 농도 20 wt%와 30 wt%에서 글리신산나트륨과 상용 흡수제인 MEA의 분압에 따른 몰부하비(mol loading ratio)를 측정하여 이산화탄소 흡수능을 평가하였다. 또한, 기-액 흡수평형 결과를 바탕으로 2 t-CO$_2$/day 용량의 파일럿플랜트 실험을 수행한 결과, 이산화탄소 탈거가 MEA에 비하여 용이하게 일어나지 않아 상대적으로 낮은 이산화탄소 제거율을 얻었다. 이는 글리신산나트륨 고유의 입체구조에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문은 이산화탄소 흡수제로 아미노산염 계열 흡수제를 이용하여 실제 공정에 적용한 우리나라 최초의 연구결과로서 아미노산염의 흡수제로서의 가능성 파악에 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
