Abstract

Petroleum coke (petcoke) is widely used, next to coal, as a gasification feedstock. In gasification processes, the viscosity of the ash and the formation of crystalline phases must be understood to ensure the continuous removal of slag. This study investigates the effect of CaO and V2O3 on petcoke slag viscosity. The viscosity of the molten slag was measured in the temperature range of 1100~1600 ℃ while varying the concentration of each component. The crystalline phases formed in a cooled slag were examined. The most slag samples tested in this study exhibited crystalline slag behavior. The increased CaO concentration resulted in a lower viscosity and a lower Tcv. The viscosity behavior changed from the glassy to crystalline slag and also showed a higher Tcv as the concentration of V2O3 increases. Most slag samples showed different crystalline phases from top to bottom. Anorthites and Ca-V phases were observed in the top and middle section, while the bottom section mainly showed V2O3 and anorthite. The vanadium in the ash forms Ca-V and V-Fe phases and also remains in molten slag. A low melting Ca-V phase can contribute to lowering the viscosity.

가스화 공정에서 원료 회분의 연속적인 제거를 위해 회분 성분에 따른 점도 거동뿐만 아니라, 온도가 낮아지면서 형성되는 결정체가 점도에 미치는 영향이 연구되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 석유코크스 슬래그의 주성분 중 CaO와 V2O3 성분의 변화에 따른 슬래그의 점도 거동과 결정 분석을 통해 이 두 성분이 석유코크스 슬래그 점도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 각각의 함유량을 변화시키면서 약 1600 ℃부터 약 1100 ℃까지 온도를 낮추며 점도를 측정하였고, 냉각된 시료의 결정상이 분석되었다. 측정된 시료는 대부분 결정형 점도 거동을 보여주었다. V2O3의 농도가 증가할수록 점도는 유리형에서 결정형으로 변화하였고, Tcv도 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. CaO의 경우 농도가 증가할수록 낮은 점도와 낮은 Tcv를 보여주었다. 기준 시료를 포함한 모든 시료의 상, 중, 하부에서 다른 결정을 볼 수 있었다. 상, 중부에는 anorthite와 Ca-V 상이 관찰되었으면 하부에서는 주로 V2O3 결정과 anorthite이 관찰되었다. 슬래그의 바나듐은 Ca-V상, V-Fe, 용융 슬래그 상을 형성한다. 융점이 낮은 Ca-V 상은 점도를 낮추는데 기여하는 것으로 보인다.
