Abstract

We have investigated the kinetics and catalytic activity of $CO_2$-lignite gasification with various metal precursors as catalysts. $K_2CO_3$, $Mn(NO_3)_2$, and $Ce(NO_3)_3$ were used and impregnated on a coal using an evaporator. The gasification experiments were carried out with the low rank coal loaded with 5 wt% catalyst at the temperature range from $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ and atmospheric pressure with the $N_2-CO_2$ reactant gas mixture. The catalytic effect on the gasification rate of the low rank coal with $CO_2$ was determined by the thermogravimetric analyzer. It was observed that the low rank coal reached the complete carbon conversion regardless of the kinds of catalysts at $900^{\circ}C$ from the results of TGA. The catalytic activity was ranked as 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$ > 5 wt% $Mn(NO_3)_2$ > 5 wt% $Ce(NO_3)_3$ > Non-catalyst at $900^{\circ}C$. The gasification rate increased with increasing the temperature. The activation energy of the catalytic gasification with 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$ was 119.0 kJ/mol, which was the lowest among all catalysts.

촉매를 이용한 $CO_2$-석탄 가스화의 kinetic 및 촉매 활성에 대해 조사하였다. 석탄에 촉매로 $K_2CO_3$와 $Mn(NO_3)_2$, $Ce(NO_3)_3$를 진공증발기를 이용하여 담지하였다. 가스화 실험은 5 wt%의 촉매를 담지한 저급석탄을 TGA를 사용하여 온도 $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$범위에서 $N_2$와 $CO_2$ 반응가스로 진행하였다. TGA 실험 결과 $900^{\circ}C$에서 모든 촉매의 종류에 관계없이 저급석탄은 탄소 전환율 100%에 도달하였으며 촉매 가스화속도는 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$ > 5 wt% $Mn(NO_3)_2$ > 5 wt% $Ce(NO_3)_3$ > Non-catalyst 순으로 나타났다. 가스화 속도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 관찰하였으며 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$의 경우 가스화반응 활성화 에너지가 119.0 kJ/mol로 가장 낮게 얻어졌다.
