Abstract

Carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of global warming. In order to develop a novel absorbent, the characteristics of amino acid salts solution as a solvent for $CO_2$ capture in continuous process were investigated. The cost of $CO_2$ capture is almost 70% of total cost of CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage). In the carbon dioxide capture process, process maintenance costs consist of the absorbent including the absorption, regeneration, degradation, and etc. It is very important to study the characteristics of absorbent in continuous process. In this study, we have investigated the properties of potassium L-lysine (PL) for getting scale-up factors in continuous process. To obtain optimum condition for removal efficiency of $CO_2$ in continuous process by varying liquid-gas (L/G) ratio, concentration of $CO_2$ and absorbent (PL) were tested. The stable condition of absorber and regenerator (L/G) ratio is 3.5. In addition, PL system reveals the highest removal efficiency of $CO_2$ with 3.5 of L/G and 10.5 vol% $CO_2$ ($1.5Nm^3/h$).

지구온난화 주요 원인 중에 하나인 이산화탄소의 효율적 저감을 위해 새로운 흡수제인 아미노산염 흡수제를 개발하여 이산화탄소 연속공정을 연구하였다. 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장에 소요되는 비용 중 약 70%는 이산화탄소 포집비용이며, 이산화탄소 포집 공정 중에서 이산화탄소 흡수, 재생, 열화 등 흡수제에 의한 공정유지 비용이 대부분을 차지한다. 따라서 연속공정을 통한 흡수제의 특성 평가는 새로운 흡수제 개발에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 potassium L-lysine 흡수제의 이산화탄소 흡수 재생 연속공정을 평가하여 공정 스케일업에 필요한 엔지니어링 자료를 도출하고자 하였다. 흡수제와 이산화탄소 농도 변화 등 다양한 조건에서 아미노산염 흡수제의 최적 조건을 평가하였다. 동일한 조건에서 L/G가 커질수록 이산화탄소 제거율이 높게 나타났으며, L/G 3.5에서 흡수탑과 재생탑 공정이 안정하게 유지되었다. 또한 아미노산염 흡수제는 유량 1.5 $Nm^3/h$인 상태에서 L/G 3.5, 이산화탄소 농도 10.5 vol%의 공정 조건일 때 가장 높은 이산화탄소 제거효율이 나타내었다.
