Abstract

In this study, the experiment of CO production was performed using carbon dioxide and coal. The synthesis characteristics of CO gas was investigated using the chemical activation method of KOH. The preparation process has been optimized through the analysis of experimental variables such as activating chemical agents to coal ratio, the flow rate of gas and reaction temperature during $CO_2$ conversion reaction. Without the catalyst of KOH, the 66.7% of $CO_2$ conversion was obtained at the conditions of $T=950^{\circ}C$ and $CO_2$ flow rate of 300 cc/min. On the other hand, the 98.1% of $CO_2$ conversion was obtained using catalyst of KOH at same conditions. It was found that the feed ratio(Coal : KOH = 4 : 1) had better $CO_2$ conversion and CO selectivity than other feed ratios.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소와 석탄을 사용하여 합성가스 CO를 생산하는 실험을 수행하였다. CO 합성특성은 KOH 촉매를 사용한 화학적 활성화 방법에 의해 조사되었으며, 제조공정은 $CO_2$ 전환반응에서 석탄과 활성화 촉매 비율, 가스 유량과 반응온도 등과 같은 실험변수들을 분석함으로서 최적화되었다. KOH 촉매를 사용하지 않은 경우, 반응온도 $950^{\circ}C$와 $CO_2$ 유량 300 cc/min에서 65% $CO_2$ 전환율을 얻었으며, 반면에 촉매를 사용한 경우 같은 반응조건에서 98.1%의 전환율을 얻었다. 석탄의 활성화촉매 반응물의 비(석탄 : KOH = 4 : 1)가 다른 반응물 비에 대해 더 좋은 $CO_2$ 전환율과 CO 선택도 보여줌을 알 수 있었다.
