Perovskite oxide catalysts doped on porous alumina beads are prepared in a citric acid solution. To investigate the applicability of the catalysts to the hot gas cleanup, a series of experiments on the reduction characteristics of $NO_x$ by CO as a reducing agent are carried out in a packed bed reactor containing the catalysts. Parameters tested are the operating temperature and $CO/NO_x$ molar ratio. It is found that mixed complex oxides of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$, $SrAl_{12}O_{19}$ and $LaAl_{11}O_{18}$ are uniformly distributed on the alumina beads. The conversion efficiency of $NO_x$ by CO sharply increases with the operating temperature up to $700^{\circ}C$ and then approaches 100% when $CO/NO_x$ molar ratio is greater than 1.0. The conversion efficiency of $NO_x$ is maintained by over 98% during a continuous operation for 23 hours at $800^{\circ}C$ and space velocity of $10700hr^{-1}$.

세라믹 필터는 여러 종류의 분진제거 시스템에서 연소 배가스 정제를 위한 가장 적절한 소재로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 다양한 형태의 세라믹 필터가 개발되고 있는데, 캔들 타입(candle type), 튜브 타입(tubular type), 평판 타입(parallel flow type) 등이 그 예이다. 통상적으로 세라믹 캔들 필터는 가압유동층복합발전(PFBC, Pressurize Fluidized-Bed Combustion), 석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC, Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle), 석탄가스화연료전지복합발전(IGFC, Integrated coal Gasification Fuel cell Combined cycle)에서 고온 배가스 정제용으로 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 IGCC나 CTL 합성가스 정제시스템의 경우에는 높은 고압(약 25기압)과 미세분진이 함유되어 있는 분위기에서 운전된다. 그러므로 이때 사용되는 초청정용 세라믹 집진필터는 고온, 고압 및 부식 환경에서 50 MPa 이상을 갖는 높은 강도와 내식성을 갖도록 개발되어야 하기 때문에 SiC(Silicon Carbide)가 가장 적절한 캔들 필터 소재로 적용되고 있다. 이에 따라 집진용 SiC 세라믹 캔들 필터를 개발하기 위해서는 고온에서 내산화성이 우수하고, 부피팽창에 의한 균열이 발생하지 않는 무기결합재의 선정 및 이를 통한 소재의 특성 최적화가 가장 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 래밍성형 공정을 적용하여 1m급 탄화규소 세라믹 캔들 필터 시작품을 제조하였으며, 래밍성형 공정 이외에 정수압가압성형, 진공압출성형으로 제조되고 있는 세라믹 캔들 필터의 국내외 시장 및 그 전망을 분석하였다.

석탄 합성가스 중에는 $H_2S$, HCl, $NH_3$와 같은 불순물이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 가스들은 오염가스 배출과 관련한 환경기준 준수와 터빈과 같은 설비의 보호를 위해 제거되어야 한다. 석탄 합성가스 중 HCl 농도는 탄종에 따라 다르기는 하지만 많게는 1000 ppmv 수준까지 존재한다. 합성가스를 이용하여 발전을 하는 경우 가스터빈 보호를 위해 HCl은 <3 ppmv 이하로 정제되어야 하고, 합성가스를 연료전지에 사용하고자 하는 경우에는 HCl을 <0.5 ppmv 수준까지, 화학원료로 사용하고자 하는 경우에는 <10 ppbv 수준까지 정제하여야 한다. 또한 HCl은 고온 탈황공정에 사용되는 흡수제의 활성에도 장기적으로 부정적인 영향을 주기 때문에 고온에서 HCl을 정제할 수 있는 흡수제가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리금속을 활성물질로 사용하여 분무건조법으로 제조한 HCl 흡수제에 대해 물성 및 HCl과의 반응성을 살펴보았다. $300-500^{\circ}C$ 영역에서 K-계 및 Na-계 흡수제에 대해 고정층반응기에서 HCl 가스를 함유한 모사 합성가스를 이용하여 상압 조건에서 Cl 흡수능을 측정한 결과 15wt% 이상의 흡수능을 나타내었으며 반응온도가 높을수록 흡수능이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. XRD 분석을 통하여 Cl은 K 및 Na와 반응하여 KCl과 NaCl을 형성하면서 흡수됨을 알 수 있었다. 20 bar 조건에서 실험한 결과에서도 동일한 경향의 반응성을 나타내었으며 반응온도가 낮을수록 흡수능은 감소하지만 Cl을 더 낮은 농도로 정제할 수 있었다. 본 실험에 사용된 Na 및 K계 흡수제는 모두 연소 후 배가스 중 $CO_2$를 제거하기 위한 흡수제로 사용되는 고체 흡수제이다. 석탄화력발전소 배가스에 연계되어 $CO_2$ 회수실험에 사용되었던 사용 후 $CO_2$ 흡수제에 대해 HCl 흡수 실험을 수행한 결과에서도 우수한 HCl 제거 성능을 보여 주었다. 이로부터, 폐 $CO_2$ 흡수제의 HCl 흡수제로서의 활용가능성을 확인 하였다.

A field test of a 70 kW heat pump system with flue gas heat recovery was performed by an experiment at the Korea Institute of Energy Research. The flue gas is exhausted from a 320 RT absorption chiller-heater in the heating season. Using this flue gas, source water of the heat pump is heated by a condensed-type heat exchanger in the chimney. The operating characteristics of the heat recovery heat pump system were analyzed. Based on the results of the experiments, operating maps were obtained, and an optimum operating range is suggested, in which the return and heat source water temperature are $51^{\circ}C$ and $31^{\circ}C$, respectively. Additionally, economic analysis of this system was conducted and about 50% energy cost savings can be expected in the heating season.

Recently a novel bio refinery process with using nonedible biomass, especially microalgae, has been developed in order to directly reduce $CO_2$ concentration from flue gas and simultaneously produce renewable bio fuel. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes are composed of microalgae cultivation, harvesting, lipid extraction, and bio fuel conversion. So, there are concerns about the energy efficiencies of bio refinery processes. In this study, the net energy ratio of microalgae processes were calculated for the microalgae produced from a pilot photobioreacto using $CO_2$ released from coal combustion. In this study, trans-esterification and pyrolysis processes were used to analyze the net energy efficiencies. Micro algae-to-biofuel processes might produce bio fuels with the higher energy than that of the total consumed energy for cultivation, harvesting, extraction and conversion. If the lipid content of microalgae was higher, the trans-esterification conversion process was more effective than that of pyrolysis process.

Combustion characteristics of industrial radiant tube (RT) burners with forced oscillating combustion technology are investigated using a real-scale (125,000 kcal/h) industrial RT burner facility in both laboratory and field tests. Three different types of industrial RT burners using a by-product gas from the iron-and-steelmaking process are examined in a laboratory facility equipped with a W-type RT. During the field tests, an industrial RT burner is characterized in a large facility equipped with multiple RTs. Their performance and emission controls are investigated under diverse operating conditions. The feasibility of the forced oscillating combustion technology is evaluated by the extent of $NO_x$ reduction and the efficiency improvement. These improvements are able to save energy, extend the RT lifetime, and enhance productivity. The operating conditions that achieve the best performance and emission control for each RT burner are determined.

Energy consumption is increased by rapid industrialization. As a result, climate change is accelerating due to the increase in CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere. Therefore, a shift in the energy paradigm is required. Hydrogen is in the spotlight as a part of that. Currently 95% of hydrogen is fossil fuel-based reforming hydrogen which is accompanied by CO₂ emissions. This is called gray hydrogen, if the CO₂ is captured and emission of CO₂ is reduced, it can be converted into blue hydrogen. There are 3 technologies to capture CO₂: absorption, adsorption and membrane technology. In order to select CO₂ capture technology, the analysis of the exhaust gas should be carried out. The concentration of CO₂ in the flue gas from the hydrogen production process is higher than 20%if water is removed as well as the emission scale is classified as small and medium. So, the application of the membrane technology is more advantageous than the absorption. In addition, if LNG cold energy can be used for low temperature CO₂ capture system, the CO₂/N₂ selectivity of the membrane is higher than room temperature CO₂ capture and enabling an efficient CO₂ capture process. In this study, we will analyze the flue gas from hydrogen production process and discuss suitable CO₂ capture technology for it.

A study on the in situ regeneration effect of commercial deactivated SCR catalyst which had been exposed to the off gas from the heavy oil fired power plant for a long time was carried out in a simulated in situ conditions by washing with distilled water and various acid solutions in a short time. The catalytic performance test of the regenerated SCR catalysts was carried out in the micro reactor with simulated off gas of the heavy oil fired power plant and all prepared catalysts were characterized by BET, Porosimeter, EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer) and ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) to investigate correlations between catalytic activity and surface characteristics of them. The characterization results of the regenerated catalysts showed that the specific surface area was restored 95% more than that of fresh catalyst. Under this study, the activity of the regenerated catalysts with acid solution (3~6 M) without using ultrasonic wave in a simulated in situ conditions was restored 90% more than that of the fresh catalyst. It was found that improved activity of regenerated catalyst was caused by removing the deactivating materials from the surface of the deactivated SCR catalyst through acid washing.
