To overcome disadvantages of conventional two interconnected fluidized beds system, a novel two-interconnected fluidized bed process has been adopted to 3kW chemical-looping combustor. This system has two bubbling beds, solid injection nozzles, solid conveying lines, and downcomers. In this study, effects of operating variables such as gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, fluidizing velocity, solid height, geometry of solid intake hole, bed temperature on solid circulation rate have been investigated in a 3kW chemical-looping combustor. The solid circulation rate increased as the solid height and the opening area of solid intake holes increased. The effect of the fluidizing velocity and the bed temperature were negligible. Moreover, long-term operation of continuous solid circulation up to 50 hours has been performed to check feasibility of stable operation. The pressure drop profiles in the bubbling beds and the downcomers were maintained steadily and solid circulation was smooth and stable.

기-고체간의 접촉효율이 높고, 층 내 전체에 걸쳐서 균일한 기-고의 접촉을 갖는 등 많은 장점이 있어 석탄연소로, 촉매반응기와 같은 여러 기-고 반응기에 적용이 확대되고 있는 순환유동층은 높은 유속에서 조업되므로 상승관내 고체입자들은 즉시 비산하게 된다. 따라서, 원활한 반응에 필요한 상승관내 적절한 고체체류량 유지를 위해 고체입자들 대부분은 싸이클론에서 포집 되어 고체재순환부에 의하여 상승관내로 재주입 된다.(중략)

MTO 공정을 개발하기 위한 순환유동층 장치에서 고체순환량을 높이기 위해 고체 주입량 및 상승관 유속에 따른 수력학적 특성의 파악에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 전체 높이 2.6m 직경 0.009m의 상승관을 가진 순환유동층 장치에 대해 고체순환량을 조절하기 위한 비기계적 밸브로 각각 Seal-pot과 L-valve가 장착된 두 장치에 대해 고체순환량 및 체류량을 측정하였다. 고체순환량 및 체류량은 두 장치에서 모두 고체의 주입량이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 모습을 나타내었으며, 상승관의 유속에 따라서는 특정한 유속의 범위 내에서 증가하다가 일정 유속 이후 감소하는 모습을 나타내었다. Seal-pot을 사용한 장치에서는 고체순환량이 최대 $87kg/m^2.s$ 가량의 값을 나타내었으나 L-valve를 사용한 장치에서는 최대 $180kg/m^2.s$를 보였다. 이러한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 하여 전산유체역학을 이용한 순환유동층의 유동해석에 관한 연구를 실시하여 실험조건의 변화에 따른 상승관 내부의 수력학적 특성을 비교하였다.

To apply to novel two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation, a solid separator and a solid circulation system were developed. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, solid height, and diameter of solid injection nozzle increased. However, the effect of the fluidization velocity was negligible. Coarse($212{\sim}300{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 66 to 453 g/min. The solid circulation rate increased as the gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, solid height, and the number of solid intake holes increased. However, the effect of the fluidization velocity was negligible. Fine particle was circulated using the solid circulation system and the solid circulation rate was ranged from 65 to 390 g/min. We also proposed two interconnenced fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation equipped with the developed solid separator and the solid circulation system. Long-term operation of continuous solid circulation up to 20 hours has been performed to check feasibility of stable operation. The pressure drop profiles in two beds and the solid separation rate were maintained steadily, and therefore, we could conclude that solid circulation was smooth and stable.

순환유동층 보일러는 연소로 (상승관: riser)내에 공기를 고속으로 주입하여 비말동반되는 고체입자를 사이클론에서 포집 하여 재주입하는 유동층을 이르는 것으로, 난류유동층(turbulent fluidized bed), 고속유동층(fast fluidized bed) 그리고 희박상 유동(dilute phase flow) 영역에서 조업이 이루어진다. 순환유동층은 비교적 높은 기체 유속에서 조업이 이루어지기 때문에 고체입자의 혼합 및 비산 그리고 재순환이 격렬하게 이루어지고, 기-고체간 접촉효율 및 전열계수가 높아 전체적인 처리량 및 효율이 좋은 장점을 가지고 있다.(중략)

Flow characteristics and the operating range of gas velocity was investigated for a two-stage bubbling fluidized-bed (0.1 m-i.d., 1.2 m-high) that had continuous solids feed and discharge. Solids were fed in to the upper fluidized-bed and overflowed into the bed section of the lower fluidized-bed through a standpipe (0.025 m-i.d.). The standpipe was simply a dense solids bed with no mechanical or non-mechanical valves. The solids overflowed the lower bed for discharge. The fluidizing gas was fed to the lower fluidized-bed and the exit gas was also used to fluidize the upper bed. Air was used as fluidizing gas and mixture of coarse (< $1000{\mu}m$ in diameter and $3090kg/m^3$ in apparent density) and fine (< $100{\mu}m$ in diameter and $4400kg/m^3$ in apparent density) particles were used as bed materials. The proportion of fine particles was employed as the experimental variable. The gas velocity of the lower fluidized-bed was defined as collapse velocity in the condition that the standpipe was emptied by upflow gas bypassing from the lower fluidized-bed. It could be used as the maximum operating velocity of the present process. The collapse velocity decreased after an initial increase as the proportion of fine particles increased. The maximum took place at the proportion of fine particles 30%. The trend of the collapse velocity was similar with that of standpipe pressure drop. The collapse velocity was expressed as a function of bulk density of particles and voidage of static bed. It increased with an increase of bulk density, however, decreased with an increase of voidage of static bed.

The effects of gas velocity and solid circulation rate on the axial solid holdup distribution have been determined in a 10 mm-I.D. ${\times}$ 800 mm-high circulating fluidized bed plasma reactor under reduced pressure (1torr). Polystyrene polymer powder and nitrogen gas are used as solid and gas materials respectively. The change of solid circulation rate by a large gas flow rate of the riser (40~80 sccm) is also possible by a relatively small gas flow rate of the solid recirculation part (6.6~9.9 sccm). The solid circulation rate in the reactor under reduced pressure increases with increasing aeration velocity in the solid recirculation part. The axial solid holdup in the riser decreases from the dense at the bottom to the dilute phase at the top section of the riser. Solid holdups at the axial positions in the riser increase linearly with increasing solid circulating velocity. From these results, we could determine the position of plasma load for good plasma ignition, maintain and plasma reaction.

As a basic research of developing two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation, a solid separator was developed to separate fine and coarse particles by means of particle size difference with particle size separation system equipped with metal screen. The effects of gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area on the solid separation rate were investigated as well. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area increased. As the gas velocity and height of the solid separator increased, the variation of the solid separation rate was consistent with that of bubble size. Consequently, coarse($212{\sim}300{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 4.4 to 127 g/min. We also proposed two interconnenced fluidized beds system for sorption enhanced water-gas shift process equipped with the developed solid separator.

Effects of operating variables on solid separation rate in two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation have been investigated. Coarse(212~300 or $425{\sim}600{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 66 to 987 g/min. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, solid height, diameter of solid injection nozzle, particle size of coarse particles, aperture of the solid separator, and weight fraction of fines in the solid mixture increased. However, the effect of the fluidization velocity was negligible.
