Abstract

The present paper investigates the availability of seawater as the absorbents to capture carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emitted from the coal fired power plant (CFPP). For the purpose of the study, readily obtainable alkali materials in CFPP such as coal fly ash (FA), NaOH and $Ca(OH)_2$ are added to seawater to prepare the absorbents and their $CO_2$ capture performances are discussed. FA can be effectively used the additives to increase $CO_2$ capture capacity of seawater to a some extent. This is ascribed that some alkali components in FA are leached into seawater and they contribute to $CO_2$ capture in the solution. However, their leaching amount and rate are restricted by the various ions in seawater. The performance of NaOH added seawater is even lower than that of NaOH added water because $OH^-$ is substantially consumed on $Ma(OH)_2$ production prior to carbonation. $CO_2$ absorption capacity of $Ca(OH)_2$ added seawater is slightly larger than that of $Ca(OH)_2$ added water. This is because that $Ca^{2+}$ which originally present in raw seawater can participate in carbonation reaction.

본 연구에서는 해수를 이용하여 석탄 화력발전소에서 발생하는 $CO_2$를 포집하기 위해 발전소에서 수급이 용이한 비산재, NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$를 해수에 첨가하여 제조된 흡수제의 $CO_2$ 포집 성능을 고찰하였다. 비산재가 첨가된 해수의 $CO_2$ 포집성능은 순 해수에 비해 높아 비산재의 $CO_2$ 포집 효과는 유효하다. 그러나 해수 내 다양한 이온들에 의해 증류수에서 보다 비산재 내 유효 성분들의 침출량과 침출속도가 제한적이다. NaOH가 첨가된 해수는 $OH^-$ 손실이 일어나 증류수에 비해 $CO_2$ 포집량이 낮았고 다양한 이온의 상호 작용에 의해 포집 속도가 낮았다. $Ca(OH)_2$를 첨가한 경우, 해수에서의 $CO_2$ 포집 성능은 증류수 보다 높았는데 이는 해수 내 이미 존재하고 있던 $Ca^{2+}$ 중 일부가 탄산화 반응에 참여했기 때문으로 판단된다.
