Abstract

This work investigates the carbonation of KOH-dissolved methanol and ethanol solution systems carried out for $CO_2$ fixation. Potassium methyl carbonate (PMC) and potassium ethyl carbonate (PEC) were synthesized during the reaction in each solution as the solid powder, and they were characterized in detail. The amount of $CO_2$ chemically absorbed to produce the PMC and PEC precipitates were calculated to be 97.90% and 99.58% of their theoretical values, respectively. In addition, a substantial amount of $CO_2$ was physically absorbed in the solution during the carbonation. PMC precipitates were consisted of the pure PMC and $KHCO_3$ with the weight ratio of 5:5, respectively. PEC precipitates were also mixture of the pure PEC and $KHCO_3$ with the weight ratio of 8:2, respectively. When these two precipitates were dissolved in excess water, methanol and ethanol were regenerated remaining solid $KHCO_3$ in the solutions. Therefore, the process has the potential to be one of the efficient options of CCS and CCU technologies.

KOH가 용해된 메탄올 및 에탄올 용액의 탄산화를 통해 Potassium methyl carbonate (PMC) 및 Potassium ethyl carbonate (PEC) 침전물을 합성하여 $CO_2$를 고정화하고 침전물의 특성 연구를 수행하였다. PMC 및 PEC는 $CO_2$의 화학 흡수 반응에 의해 고체 침전물로 합성되고 이를 위해 소비된 $CO_2$양은 각 이론 값의 97.90% 및 99.58%이며 탄산화 중 상당량의 물리 흡수도 일어난다. 합성된 침전물은 PMC 및 PEC와 $KHCO_3$의 중량 비율이 약 5:5 및 8:2인 혼합물이며 침전물들은 물에 용해되어 알코올이 재생되고 최종 $KHCO_3$가 회수됨에 따라 본 공정은 효율적인 하나의 CCS 또는 CCU 기술로 활용될 가능성이 있다.
