The absorption capacity and initial absorption rate of $CO_2$ into aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solutions were measured by using VLE(Vapor-Liquid-Equilibrium) equipment in the pre-combustion condition. Absorption experiments were conducted within the temperature range of $40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ while increasing the $CO_2$ pressure from 0 to 50bar. The effect of $K_2CO_3$ concentration was investigated by varying in the range of 5~20%. As a results, the absorption capacity and initial absorption rate were increased with increasing $K_2CO_3$ concentration in the absorbents. Also, the initial absorption rate was highest at $40^{\circ}C$. Further more, we have studied the effect of adding piperazine and homopiperazine to $K_2CO_3$ solutions. The results showed that absorption capacity of $CO_2$ was somewhat increased by adding piperazine.

본 논문에서는 지구온난화의 주요원인 중의 하나인 이산화탄소를 포집하기 위한 새로운 흡수제를 연구하였다. 액상 흡수법에서 가장 중요한 핵심 기술요소는 성능과 경제성면에서 우수한 흡수제를 개발하는 것이다. 흡수평형장치인 VLE(Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium)장치를 사용하여 신규흡수제의 이산화탄소 흡수능을 평가하고 특성을 알아봄으로써 신 흡수제를 개발하고자 하였다. 기존 아민흡수제인 MEA(monoethanolamine), DEA(diethanolamine)와 비교한 결과 아미노산염 흡수제의 경우 MEA (1.108), DEA (1.105)의 이산화탄소 흡수능보다 0.15～0.2 (mol $CO_2$/mol absorbent) 더 높은 흡수능과 2.5～3배 더 빠른 겉보기 속도를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 아미노산염 흡수제가 경제적인 이산화탄소 포집공정을 구현할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

The solubility of carbon dioxide in ionic liquids and amine solvents has been investigated in gas-liquid absorption equilibrium reactor. Absorption capacity and kinetics of $CO_2$ with $CO_2$ pressure and absorption time in 9 different ionic liquids and 2 kinds of amine solvents were evaluated. In order to understand the effect of ionic type, we changed the cation or anion of ionic liquids. $CO_2$ absorption capacity and absorption rate of amine solvents were higher than those of ionic liquids. $CO_2$ absorption capacity of [emim][$Tf_2N$], $0.14molCO_2/mol\;IL$ at 1 bar, was the highest among the ionic liquids. $CO_2$ absorption capacity of ionic liquid steeply decreased with increasing temperature. Anion of ionic liquid dominates interaction with $CO_2$ and cation plays secondary role.

The advanced absorbent that used amine mixture with different order were developed to separate carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuel power plant. The carbon dioxide absorption capacity for mixtures with different amine(primary, secondary and tertiary) were investigated according to $CO_2$ partial pressure. The carbon dioxide absorption capacity at the same pressure is ordered as 3DMA1P 30wt%>3DMA1P 27wt%+MEA 3wt%>3DMA1P 27wt%+DEA 3wt%. The result indicates that mixing tertiary amine with primary amine yields more efficient carbon dioxide absorbent than mixing tertiary with secondary amine does. Finally, the predicted semi-empirical gas-liquid equilibrium model fitted with experimental results.

현재 상용가능한 연소전 $CO_2$ 포집 기술은 습식 스크러빙 방식으로 고온의 합성가스를 상온 수준으로 온도를 낮춘 후 $CO_2$를 포집해야 하고 포집된 $CO_2$의 압력이 낮아 재압축하여 저장소로 보내야 함에 따라 큰 폭의 열효율 손실이 불가피하다. 고온 고압에서 이산화탄소를 포집할수 있는 고체 흡수제를 이용할 경우 이산화탄소 포집 치 저장 추가에 따른 시스템 효율 저하를 최소화할 수 있다. 고체 $CO_2$ 흡수제는 서로 연결된 두 개의 유동층 반응기를 순환하면서 흡수탑에서는 합성가스 중의 $CO_2$를 흡수하고 재생탑에서는 고온의 수증기와 접촉하여 흡수된 $CO_2$를 다시 배출함으로써 재생된다. 따라서 건식 재생 $CO_2$ 흡수제는 유동층 공정에 응용가능한 물성과 함께 높은 $CO_2$ 흡수능과 빠른 반응성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 유동층 공정에 적합한 물성을 가진 연소전 $CO_2$ 포집용 고체 흡수제를 분무건조법으로 제조하였으며, 모사 합성가스를 이용하여 열중량분석기와 기포유동층반응기를 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$ 흡수, $400^{\circ}C$ 재생, 압력 20 bar 조건으로 반응성을 측정하였다. 개발된 고체 $CO_2$ 흡수제는 열중량분석기에서는 반응 후 10-13 wt%의 무게증가를 나타내었고 기포유동층반응기에서는 8-10 wt%의 $CO_2$ 흡수능을 보여주었다. 특히 수증기의 함량이 10% 이상에서 높은 흡수능을 나타내어 수증기가 반응에 크게 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

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.

The present study attempted to impregnate alkali metals to amino acid in order to improve $CO_2$ absorption capacity. A used amino acid was glycine, of which pH increased up to about 11 with the addition of alkalies. $CO_2$ absorption capacity of amino acid salts was evaluated in a batch and a continuous process. The absorption capacity appeared in turns as; Sodium Glycinate ${\geq}$ Lithium Glycinate > Potassium Glycinate. Amino acid salts showed lower absolute capacity of $CO_2$ absorption than primary amine (Monoethanolamine) at $20^{\circ}C$. In a continuous absorption with 10% $CO_2$ flow, the increasing the reaction temperature, the increasing rate of absorption for amino and was higher that of than amino absorbent.

This study focused on application of various $CO_2$ philic adsorbents with amine to improve $CO_2$ uptake in mortar. TGA, phenolphthalein method, FT-IR XRD, and FE-SEM analysis methods were used to evaluate $CO_2$ capture in mortar. When $CO_2$ philic adsorbents was used, $CO_2$absorption efficiency was improved maximum of 58.5%. Carbonation depth was increased 3 times compared with original mortar. Chemical reactions between bicarbonate ion, $CO_2$, $CO_2$ philic adsorbents aqueous solution, and $Ca^{2+}$ ions dissolved from cement formed $CaCO_3$ in the mortar. Therefore, impregnation of the $CO_2$ philic adsorbent on the surface of the mortar can increase the adsorbed $CO_2$.

The development of a new sorbent for carbon dioxide depends on several factors, such as fast adsorption/absorption velocity, hydrophobicity, and lower regeneration temperature than commercial sorbent. In this study, aminosilane grafted activated carbon was synthesized to capture CO2. Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) were used as the grafting precursor of the amine functional group. The APTES grafting activated carbon showed higher sorption property than MTMS used one. The characteristics of the separation mechanism of carbon dioxide were examined by measuring the adsorption capacity according to temperature and carbon dioxide partial pressure. The absorption capacity of carbon dioxide was similar to amine grafting activated carbon and activated carbon at 25℃, but amine-grafted activated carbon was higher at 75℃. The amine functional group-grafted activated carbon showed higher absorption capacity than activated carbon with a 1% carbon dioxide partial pressure. Aminosilane grafting of activated carbon was chemically absorbed but also showed the characteristics of physical adsorption. The reforming activated carbon with an amine functional group grafted solid absorption/adsorption sorbent would significantly impact the material engineering industry and carbon dioxide adsorption process. The functionalized sorbent is a high-performance composite material. The developed sorbent may have applications in other industrial processes of absorption/adsorption and separation.

The absorption capacity and initial absorption rate in 5 %, 10%, 15 % and 20% $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ under the constant temperature at $40^{\circ}C$ and the initial absorption rate in mixture of different alkaline salts such as $KHCO_3$, $CaCO_3$ and $K_{2}CO_{3}$ were measured using batch type stirred cell contractor. 10% $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ showed the highest absorption capacity and $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $K_{2}CO_{3}$ showed the somewhat increased absorption capacity and initial absorption rate respectively. Further more, we have studied the effect of adding Pz and Pp to $Na_{2}CO_{3}$. The result showed that absorption rate of $CO_2$ was increased by adding these additives.
