Abstract

Biomass and coal are great potential energy sources for gasification process. These solids can be gasified to produce syngas and bio-oil which can be upgraded further to transportation fuel. Two biomass and three coals have been gasified with steam in a thermobalance reactor under atmospheric pressure in order to evaluate their kinetic rate information The effects of gasification temperature ($600{\sim}850^{\circ}C$) and partial pressure of steam (30~90 kPa) on the gasification rate have been investigated. The three different types of gas-solids reaction models have been applied to the experimental data to compare their predictions of reaction behavior. The modified volumetric reaction model predicts the conversion data well, thus that model was used to evaluate kinetic parameters in this study. The gasification reactivity of five solids has been compared. The obtained activation energy of coal and biomass gasification were well in the reasonable range. The expression of apparent reaction rates for steam gasification of five solids have been proposed as basic information for the design of coal gasification processes.

볏짚 톱밥과 같은 바이오매스는 석탄과 함께 사용할 수 있는 잠재력이 큰 에너지원으로 이들을 가스화공정에 적용하면 수송용 연료같은 bio-oil을 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상압의 열천칭 반응기(thermobalance)에서 톱밥, 볏짚, 갈탄, 역청탄, 무연탄의 수증기 가스화 반응특성을 수행하였으며, 가스화 온도 $600{\sim}850^{\circ}C$, 수증기 분압 30~90 kPa의 범위에서 조업변수들이 가스화반응속도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 세 가지의 기체-고체 화학반응모델이 가스화반응의 거동을 예측하는 능력을 비교하였으며, modified volumetric reaction model을 사용하여 공정설계에 필수적인 kinetic 정보를 도출하였다. 두 가지 바이오매스와 세 가지 석탄 촤의 가스화반응성을 비교하였다. Arrhenius plot으로부터 얻어진 바이오매스와 석탄의 활성화에너지는 모두 문헌상의 범위에 속하였다. 각 연료에 대하여 수증기분압에 대한 반응차수를 결정하였으며, 가스화공정 설계의 기초데이타로서 겉보기 반응속도식을 제시하였다.
