Abstract

$CO_2$ is regarded as one of the greenhouse gases(GHG), which is the main reason of climate change. In order to achieve lower $CO_2$ emissions, several efforts have been conducted worldwide. $CO_2$ capture & storage(CCS) technology development is needed for a coal-fired combustion power plant because of huge $CO_2$emission. Oxy fuel combustion, one of the CCS technologies has been considered as a primary concern, nowadays. Oxy-fuel combustion needs flue gas recirculation(FGR) for stable operation and enrichment of $CO_2$ concentration in the flue gas. FGR adoption for oxy-fuel combustion requires development of effective desulfurization and dust removal technology. In this study, desulfurization characteristics of lime and dust removal technology have been researched in the laboratory scale coal combustor.

CCS($CO_2$ capture & storage) 기술의 하나인 순산소 석탄화력발전 시스템에서 시스템의 안정한 운전을 위하여 연소가스 재순환이 적용되게 된다. 연소가스 재순환시 황산화물 및 분진의 농축이 발생되게 되며 일반적인 화력발전 시스템에서 탈황 및 집진과는 다른 형태의 운전조건을 나타내게 되므로 상용 석탄화력 발전소에 적용하기에 앞서 관련 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 순산소 석탄 연소 시스템에서 황산화물 및 분진의 효과적인 제거를 위하여 석회석을 이용한 로내탈황 및 고온 전기집진에 관한 기초적인 연구를 수행하였다. 석회석을 이용한 로내탈황에서 ash에 의한 탈황효과를 포함하여 60%의 탈황효율을 나타내었고 전기집진의 경우에는 $CO_2$ 비율이 높을수록 분진입자의 크기가 클수록 코로나 전류량의 감소로 인하여 집진효율이 저하하는 것으로 나타났다.
