Abstract

A pressurized wire mesh heating reactor (PWMR) can provide high pressure and temperature experimental conditions up to 50 atm and 1750 K, respectively. This equipment was developed to evaluate the intrinsic reaction kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification. A PWMR utilizes a platinum (Pt) wire mesh resistance to generate heat with a direct current (DC) electricity supply. This DC power supply can then be controlled by computer software to reach the exact expected terminal temperature and heating period. In this study, BERAU (sub-bituminous Indonesian coal) was pulverized then converted into char with a particle size of $90-150{\mu}m$. This was used in experiments with various pressures (1-40 atm) and temperatures (1373-1673 K) under atmospheric conditions. The internal and external effectiveness factor was analyzed to determine the effects of high pressure. The intrinsic reaction kinetics of BERAU char was obtained using $n^{th}$ order reaction rate equations. The value was determined to be 203.8kJ/mol.

PWMR(Pressurized wire mesh heating reactor)는 Intrinsic $CO_2$ 가스화 반응속도 해석에 필요한 활성화에너지와 빈도상수를 도줄하기 위해서 고안되었으며, 고압 및 고온(50atm, 1750K)조건 하에서 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 고온조건에서의 실험을 위해 백금(Pt) 메쉬를 가열체로 사용하였고 직류전원공급기를 통해 백금메쉬로 전류를 인가하여 석탄 입자를 가열시킨다. 가열시 정확한 온도제어 및 반응시간 조절을 위해 직류전원공급기는 컴퓨터로 제어된다. 본 연구에서는, 인도네시아 아역청탄인 BERAU 를 사용하였으며 입자크기는 $90-150{\mu}m$, 압력과 온도조건은 각각 1-40atm 및 1373-1673K에서 실험을 진행하였다. 고압에서의 압력의 영향을 구분하기 위해 Internal/external effectiveness factor를 고려하였다. 최종적으로 BERAU 촤의 Intrinsic 가스화 반응속도론 을 $n^{th}$ order 반응식을 통해 도출하였으며 그 값은 203.8kJ/mol 의 값을 가졌다.
