Abstract

$SO_2$ concentrations in oxy-fuel combustion flue gases increases about three times as high as that of conventional air combustion system owing to the flue gas recirculation for the control of combustion temperature. So the desulfurization reaction is different from that of the conventional air combustion system due to exceptionally high $CO_2$ and $SO_2$ concentration. In this study, drop tube furnace(DTF) system was used to investigate the desulfurization characteristics of limestone in oxy-fuel combustion furnace. The experiments were performed under $O_2/CO_2$ atmosphere to examine the effect of operating variables such as reaction temperatures, Ca/S ratios and inlet $SO_2$ concentrations on the $SO_2$ removal efficiencies. $SO_2$ removal efficiency increased with reaction temperature, Ca/S ratio and inlet $SO_2$ concentration. And the addition of water vapor resulted in about 4~6% of increase in $SO_2$ removal efficiency.

순산소 연소에서 $SO_2$ 농도는 배가스의 재순환으로 인해 기존의 공기연소에 비해 3배 이상 높게 나타나고, $CO_2$ 농도와 $SO_2$ 농도가 높기 때문에 탈황현상이 기존의 공기 연소와는 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 순산소 연소조건에서 로내탈황 특성을 알아보기 위해 Drop Tube Furnace(DTF)를 이용하여, 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비 등의 운전변수에 따른 $SO_2$ 제거효율을 측정하였으며 수분의 영향에 대해서도 알아보았다. 반응온도, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도 그리고 Ca/S 비가 증가함에 따라 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 증가하였고 유입가스 내 수분이 존재할 경우 $SO_2$ 제거효율은 약 4~6% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
