초록
본 연구는 이온교환 부직포를 이용하여 대기중의 아황산 가스를 흡착제거 시키기 인하여 가스의 농도는 100~200 ppm, 유속을 0.6~l.0 m/sec, 습도를 30~90 RH%로 하여 SO$_2$의 흡착량을 측정하여 음이온교환 섬유 스크러버의 최적조건을 도출하였다. 이온교환체의 이온교환 용량은 pH=4에서 최대 3.75 meq/9이였으며 또한 유속이 0.5 m/s일 때 흡착평형시간이 30시간으로 최대를 나타냈으며, 온도가 8$0^{\circ}C$일 때 흡착평형시간이 최대 10시간이상 짧아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 농도가 200 ppm의 경우 이온교환 섬유의 리간드와 SO$_2$와의 반응속도가 빨라져 흡착 파과가 빨라지는 경향을 나타냈으며 또한 스크러버 내의 상대습도가 90%일 때 7.6%/h의 제거율을 보였는데 이는 상대습도가 30%일 때 4.6%/h보다 30%정도 높은 제거율을 나타내었으며 또한 5 wt% NaOH 용액으로 5분 이내에 완전 탈착이 되었다.
The purpose of this research is to absorb and remove sulfur dioxide existing in the air by using ion exchange non-woven fabric. So we found out very appropriate condition of anionic exchange fabric scrubber by measuring amount of SO$_2$ adsorption under the atmosphere that concentration, velocity, and humidity was 100∼200 ppm, 0.6∼1.0 m/sec, and 30∼90 RH%, respectively. Ion exchange capacity of ion exchanger showed the maximum value, 3.75 meq/g at pH 4, and adsorption equilibrium time was the maximum value, 30 h when gas velocity was 0.6 m/sec, moreover, at 80$\^{C}$, adsorption equilibrium time tended to decrease more than 10 h. When concentration was 200 ppm, while reaction speed between SO$_2$ and ligand of fibrous ion exchanger was getting faster, adsorption break point had a tendency to get faster as well. In addition, when relative humidity in the scrubber was 90%, adsorption efficiency was 7.6%/h that seemed to be 30% higher than 4.6%/h coming from the condition that relative humidity had been 30%, and it was totally absorbed under 5 wt% NaOH solution in 5 minutes.
