The catalysis of carbon black was investigated for the production of hydrogen by the catalytic decomposition of propane-butane mixture gas in this study. The thermal and the catalytic decompositions of hydrocarbons were performed at the temperature range of 500 - $1100^{\circ}C$, respectively. The conversions of hydrocarbons and the mole traction of hydrogen increased with increasing the reaction temperature and the conversion of hydrocarbons in the catalytic decomposition process was approximately liked with that obtained by the thermal decomposition. However, the mole traction of hydrogen produced in the catalytic decomposition process was higher than that obtained from the thermal decomposition. Therefore, it was concluded that the catalysis for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is occurred over carbon black used as catalyst. The mole traction of hydrogen produced by the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons also increased with increasing the mole ratio of $C_3H_8/C_4H_{10}$ in propane and butane mixture gas at $700^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was concluded that the catalytic decomposition of the high propane mixture gas is more effectively for the production of hydrogen.

본 연구에서는 열플라즈마 직접분해법에 의해 메탄과 프로판으로부터 수소와 카본 블랙을 생성하는 공정에 대해 조사하였다. 메탄과 프로판의 직접분해 시 열역학적 평형조성을 깁스 자유에너지의 최소화에 근거하여 계산하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 직접분해 실험을 수행하였다. 탄화수소의 직접분해에 의해 생성된 수소의 순도는 분해가스 유량에 의존하는 것으로 나타났으며, 고순도의 수소를 얻기 위한 분해 조건을 조사하였다. 메탄을 분해가스로 사용한 경우 프로판의 경우보다 높은 수소의 순도를 나타내는데, 이는 열플라즈마에 의해 생성된 라디칼의 재결합 등으로 인한 메탄이나 에탄, 그리고 아세틸렌과 같은 부산물이 프로판의 경우에 더욱 많이 생겨나기 때문인 것으로 조사되었다. 생성된 카본블랙은 X선 회절분석과 Raman Spectroscopy 분석을 통해 결정성을 조사하였으며, SEM 분석 및 입도 분석을 통해 카본블랙의 입자 모양과 크기를 조사하였다. 그 결과 구형이며 결정성이 양호한 카본블랙이 생성되었음을 확인하였으며, 메탄으로부터 생성된 카본 블랙이 프로판으로부터 생성된 카본블랙보다 평균 입자 크기가 작은 것으로 나타났다.

카본블랙을 이용한 프로판 분해는 메탄보다 분해가 용이하여 효과적인 수소생산방법으로 알려졌다. 특히, 프로판 직접 분해 반응에 의한 수소생산은 CO나 $CO_2$와 같은 부산물이 생성되지 않으므로 환경친화적인 수소 생산기술이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 상용화되어 시판되고 있는 활성탄 및 카본블랙을 탄소계 촉매로 사용하여 프로판 직접 분해반응특성을 조사하였다. 프로판의 직접 분해반응은 대기압 하, $500{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 실험이 수행되었으며, 프로판 분해반응에 의한 생성물로 수소뿐만 아니라 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌 등의 부산물의 생성이 확인되었다. 이러한 부산물들은 고온으로 갈수록 줄어들어 상대적으로 수소 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 상용촉매를 프로판 분해 반응에 적용하여 본 결과로서 DCC N330을 촉매로 이용하였을 경우, $750^{\circ}C$에서 22.47％의 수소 수율을 얻었다.

The thermocatalytic decomposition of methane is an environmentally attractive approach to $CO_2$-free production of hydrogen. The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbon from the reactor. The usage of carbon black was reported as stable catalyst for decomposition of methane. Therfore, carbon black (DCC-N330) is used as catalyst. A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055 m I.D. and 1.0 m in height was selected for the thermo-catalytic decomposition. The porpane-containg methnae decomposition reaction was operated at the temperature range of 850-900 $^{\circ}C$ methane gas velocity of 1.0 $U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. In this work, propane was added as reactant to make methane conversion higher. Therefore we compared with methane conversion and pre-experiment methane conversion that using only methane as reactant. The carbon black, after experiment, was measured in particle size and surface area and analyzed surface of the carbon black by TEM.

유동층 반응기를 이용한 프로판의 촉매 분해는 $CO_2$를 방출하지 않고 수소를 생성하는 새로운 방식이다. 카본블랙을 이용한 프로판 분해는 메탄보다 상대적으로 분해가 잘되며, 같은 온도에서 전환률이 높기 때문에 수소 생성량이 더 많다. 촉매로 사용된 카본블랙은 반응 중 생성되는 탄소의 침적에도 불구하고 8시간 이상 촉매의 활성이 유지되어 전환율이 일정하게 유지되었다. 프로판 촉매 분해 실험은 상압에서 600 ${\sim}$ $800^{\circ}C$ 온도 변화 실험을 수행하였고, 가스 유속 변화는 2.0 ${\sim}$ $4.0U_mf$에서 실험 조건 변화에 따른 실험을 하였다. 온도, 유속 변화에 따른 생성 가스의 몰분율과 프로판 전환율을 분석하였다. 프로판 분해에 의해 생성된 기체는 수소뿐만 아니라 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌과 분해되지 않은 프로판이 배출되었다. 수소를 제외한 여타 가스들은 고온에서 실험을 할수록 몰비가 줄어들었다. 고온에서 프로판의 전환율과 수소 수득률이 증가하였다. 프로판 분해 실험 전후의 카본블랙 표면의 변화는 FE-TEM으로 관측하였다.
