초록

가압순산소 연소는 발전 공정의 온실가스 포집 기술의 하나로서, $CO_2$의 압축 전 단계에 FGC (Flue gas condensor)를 통해 배가스 내 수분의 잠열을 회수하여 효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한 FGC는 가스의 용해도를 이용하여 $SO_x$ 및 $NO_x$를 동시에 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 FGC의 방식 중 하나로서 직접 접촉식 응축기를 고안하여 $SO_x$ 및 $NO_x$의 저감율을 평가하였다. 특히 가스가 물에 직접 통과할 때 용해를 통한 저감효율을 측정하기 위해 단독가스와 혼합가스로 분리하여 상압에서 10 bar까지의 압력조건을 변수로 실험을 진행하였다. 단독 가스 실험결과 $NO_x$는 상압에서 저감율이 약 20%, 10 bar 압력조건에서 약 76%로 크게 증가하였다. 또한 $SO_2$는 높은 용해도로 전량이 용해하여 초기 저감율에 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 압력이 증가할수록 최고 저감율이 유지되는 시간이 증가하였다. 동시저감 실험 결과 상압에서 $NO_x$의 저감율은 13%이나, 압력이 상승할수록 헨리법칙에 의한 용해도 증가에 따라 20 bar에서 56%로 증가하였다. $SO_2$는 초기에 다량 용해된 후 다시 배출 농도가 증가하는 폭이 상압에서는 1,219 ppm, 20 bar에서는 165 ppm으로 감소하였다. 결론적으로 $NO_x$ 및 $SO_x$ 모두 압력이 높아질수록 저감율이 증가하였으나, 단독가스 실험과 비교하면 저감율이 감소함을 확인하였다. 이는 혼합가스 투입으로 인해 반응기 내부에 채운 물의 산성화가 빠르게 이루어졌기 때문이다.

Pressurized oxy-fuel combustion is a promising technology for $CO_2$ capture with a benefit of improving power plant efficiency compared with atmospheric oxy-fuel combustion. Prior to $CO_2$ compression in this process, a flue gas condenser (FGC) is used to remove $H_2O$ while recovering the latent heat. At the same time, the FGC has a potential for high-efficiency removal of $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ by exploiting their good solubility in water. In this study, experiments were carried out in a lab-scale, direct contact FGC under different pressures varying between 1 and 20 bar to evaluate the removal efficiency of $SO_2$ and $NO_x$ for individual gases and their mixture. In the tests for individual gases, 20% and 76% of $NO_x$ was removed at 1 bar and 10 bar, respectively. Even higher removal efficiencies were achieved for $SO_2$, and also these were maintained for longer as the pressure increased. In the tests for $SO_2$ and $NO_x$ mixture, the removal efficiency of $NO_x$ increased from 13% at 1 bar to 56% at 20 bar because of higher solubility at elevated pressures. $SO_2$ in the mixture was initially dissolved almost completely and then increased by 1,219 ppm at 1 bar and by 165 ppm at 20 bar. Overall, the removal efficiency of $SO_2$ and $NO_x$ was increased at elevated pressures, but it was lower in the mixture compared with individual gases at identical conditions because of a lower pH and associated chemical reactions in water.
