Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of coal-fired fly ash on dry $CO_2$ sorbents as the supports and additives. For this purpose, various kinds of dry sorbent were manufactured by mixing fly-ash, the primary $CO_2$ absorption components (NaOH and CaO) and water with their different combination. Thereafter, their $CO_2$ absorption performance and the property were analyzed. As a result, variation of absorption efficiency and temperature as well as $CO_2$ desorption of the sorbents are confirmed, which may be primarily ascribed to fly-ash addition to the sorbents. Particularly, fly-ash effect is strongly measured in the sorbent manufactured by mixing all four components (named WNCF sorbents). Absorption efficiency of WNCF sorbents at $550^{\circ}C$ is 35.6% higher than that of flyash free sorbent and desorption is solely observed in WNCF sorbents. Fly-ash in WNCF sorbents leads to increase the dispersity of $CO_2$ absorption components and decrease their particle size in the sorbents. In addition, fly-ash is used as the supports and pozzolanic reaction is hindered by NaOH in WNCF sorbent. Furthermore, $CO_2$ desorption from the sorbents may be due to fly-ash. The interaction between fly-ash and $CO_2$ absorption components substantially attenuate the strength between captured $CO_2$ in CaO and NaOH.

본 논문에서는 석탄화력발전소에서 배출되는 비산재의 $CO_2$ 건식흡수제의 첨가제 및 담체로써의 효과를 검토하였다. 이를 위해 필요에 따라 비산재와 $CO_2$ 포집 유효 성분인 NaOH, CaO 및 물을 조합하여 여러 종류의 흡수제를 제조한 후, $CO_2$ 흡수 실험을 포함한 흡수제의 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 조건에 따라 흡수율과 흡수 온도, 속도 및 탈기 현상 등, 비산재 투입에 의한 다양한 효과를 확인할 수 있었고 NaOH, CaO 및 비산재와 물이 첨가되어 제조된 흡수제에서 비산재 효과가 가장 크게 나타났다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 본 흡수제의 $CO_2$ 흡수율은 비산재가 첨가되지 않은 흡수제에 비해 35.6% 높았고 흡수 종료 후, $CO_2$ 탈기 현상도 관측되었다. 이는 비산재 첨가 때문으로 흡수제 내, 유효 성분들이 비산재 주변으로 분산도가 높고 상대적으로 미세한 입자로 존재하였다. 또한 비산재의 담체 역할이 확인되며 NaOH로 인해 흡수제 내 포졸란 반응이 억제되기 때문이다. 탈기 현상도 비산재 첨가로 인한 현상으로 NaOH, CaO가 비산재와 물리, 화학적 결합을 형성하여 Na와 Ca에 포집되어 있는 $CO_2$의 결합력이 약화되기 때문으로 판단된다.
