Abstract

The pyrolysis characteristics of celluloses and plastics, which are the principal materials contributing to the municipal solid wastes(MSWs), was investigated with a thermal gravimetric analysis reaction system. The experiments were carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range of 400~900K at various experimental conditions. Also, a modified pyrolysis model for compressed MSWs has been proposed. Varing the heating rate to 20, 30, 40K/min, reaction orders of MSWs' main component were around 1.1~1.9, activation energies were 117~166kJ/mol for celluloses and 187~239kJ/mol for plastics. Char yield was proportional to the heating rate, particle size, and compressed ratio. The model proposed in this study, which is applying Arrhenius equation and thermodynamics, is closer to the experimental results than the conventional model.

본 연구에서는 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 주요한 성분중의 하나인 셀룰로오스와 플라스틱의 열분해 특성을 열중량시스템에서 조사하였다. 실험은 온도범위 400~900K에서 제 실험변수에 따라 질소분위기에서 수행하였으며, 압축한 도시고형폐기물에 적용하기 위한 수정 Arrhenius 열분해 모델을 제안하였다. 승온속도를 20, 30, 40K/min로 변화시키면서 수행한 실험에서, 도시고형폐기물을 구성하는 순수물질의 활성화에너지는 셀룰로오스계열의 경우 117~166kJ/mol, 플라스틱계열은 187~239kJ/mol이며, 반응차수는 1.1~1.9의 범위에 있었다. 압축한 도시고형폐기물은 승온속도, 압축비, 입경의 증가에 따라 char의 수율이 증가하였다. 또한 압축도시고형폐기물의 열분해 과정을 Arrhemius식과 열전달이론을 이용하여 수정 제안한 모델의 적용 결과 기존의 모델보다 실험결과와 더 잘 일치하였다.
