Abstract

In order to better understand carbon dioxide recycling, the carbon dioxide capture characteristics of six different alkaline industrial by-products, including incineration ash, desulfurized gypsum, low-grade quicklime, and steelmaking slag were investigated using a laboratory-scale direct aqueous carbonation reactor. In addition to the dissolution characteristics of each sample, the main reaction structure was confirmed through thermogravimetric analysis before and after the reaction, and the reactive CaO content was also defined through thermogravimetric analysis. The carbon dioxide capture capacity and efficiency of quicklime were determined to be 473 g/kg and 86.9%, respectively, and desulfurized gypsum and incineration ash were also evaluated to be relatively high at 51.1 to 131.7 g/kg and 51.2 to 87.7%, respectively. On the other hand, the capture efficiency of steelmaking slag was found to be less than 10% due to the influence of the production and post-cooling conditions. Therefore, in order to apply the carbonation process to steelmaking slag, it is necessary to optimize the slag production conditions. Through this study, it was confirmed that the carbon dioxide capture characteristics of incineration ash, quicklime, and desulfurized gypsum are at levels suitable for carbonation processes. Furthermore, this study was able to secure basic data for resource development technology that utilize carbon dioxide conversion to produce calcium carbonate for construction materials.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 자원화의 일환으로 실험실 규모의 직접 수성탄산화 반응기를 이용하여 소각재와 더불어 탈황 석고, 저급 생석회 및 제강슬래그 등 다양한 알칼리성 산업부산물 6종을 대상으로 이산화탄소 포집 특성을 고찰하였다. 각 시료별 용해 특성과 더불어 반응 전, 후 열중량 분석을 통해 주요 반응 구조를 확인할 수 있었고, 이를 통해 반응성 CaO 함량을 정의하였다. 실험 결과, 생석회의 포집 용량 및 효율은 각각 473 g/kg, 86.9%로 결정할 수 있었으며, 탈황석고 및 소각재 역시 각각 51.1 ~ 131.7 g/kg, 51.2 ~ 87.7% 수준으로 비교적 높게 평가할 수 있다. 이에 반해 제강슬래그의 경우 생성 및 후처리 조건의 영향으로 포집 효율은 10% 미만으로 나타났으며 탄산화 공정 적용을 위해 생산 조건에 따른 영향에 대한 최적화가 요구된다. 본 연구를 통해 소각재를 비롯하여 생석회 및 탈황석고의 이산화탄소 포집특성이 이산화탄소 포집 공정 적용에 적절한 수준으로 판단할 수 있었으며, 이산화탄소전환 탄산칼슘의 건설소재 등 자원화 기술 개발의 기초자료를 확보할 수 있었다.
