Attrition characteristics of $CO_2$ absorbents for pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture were investigated to check attrition loss of those absorbents and to determine solid circulation direction and the better $CO_2$ absorbent. The cumulative attrition losses of two absorbents increased with increasing time. However, attrition loss under a humidified condition was lower than that under a non-humidified condition case. Between two absorbents, attrition loss of PKM1-SU absorbent was higher than that of P4-600 absorbent. The average particle sizes of the attrited particles were less than $2.5{\mu}m$ for two absorbents under a non-humidified condition case, and therefore, we could conclude that the main mechanism of attrition for two absorbents is not fragmentation but abrasion. Based on the results from the test for the effect of humidity on the attrition loss, we selected solid circulation direction from SEWGS reactor to regeneration reactor because the SEWGS reactor contains more water vapor than regeneration reactor. Attrition loss and make-up rate of two absorbents were compared based on the results from $CO_2$ sorption capacity tests and attrition tests. Required make-up rate of P4-600 absorbent was lower than that of PKM1-SU absorbent. However, more detail investigation on the optimum regeneration temperature, manufacturing cost, solid circulation rate, regeneration rate, and long-term sorption capacity should be considered to select the best $CO_2$ absorbent.

To develop SEWGS (sorption enhanced water gas shift) system using dry $CO_2$ absorbent for pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture, hydrodynamic characteristics of $CO_2$ absorbents were measured and investigated. The minimum fluidization velocity of $CO_2$ absorbent was measured and the effects of the operating conditions were investigated to operate the system at bubbling fluidized bed condition. The minimum fluidization velocity decreased as pressure and temperature increased. Moreover, the minimum fluidization velocity decreased as column diameter increased. The effects of operating conditions on the solid circulation rate were measured and investigated to select appropriate operating conditions for continuous $CO_2$ capture and regeneration. The measured solid circulation rates were ranged between 10 and 65 kg/h and increased as the solid injection velocity, gas velocity in the regeneration reactor, and solid height increased.

In this study, $CO_2$ absorption properties at high pressure condition that can apply pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture were investigated for physical sorbent such as PEG, DMSO, and Sulfone. The $CO_2$ Solubility, regeneration, and initial absorption rate with temperature and pressure were measured using batch type stirred cell contactor. The PEG showed the highest $CO_2$ solubility and initial absorption rate. It can be found that all the physical sorbents used in this experiments were almost completely regenerated at various temperature and pressure.

석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC)에서는 석탄을 가스화하여 얻어진 합성가스로부터 이산화탄소를 분리/회수하고 수소는 유용하게 사용할 수 있다. 이 기술의 핵심은 $H_2+CO_2$ (40%) 합성가스로부터 $CO_2$를 경제적이고 효과적으로 분리/회수하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 합성가스로부터 $CO_2$를 효과적으로 분리/회수하기 위해 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 제안하였다. 하이드레이트 형성 조건을 완화시켜 주기 위하여 열역학적 촉진제로서 TBAB, TBAF, THF를 첨가하여 열역학적 촉진 현상을 살펴보았다. 다양한 농도의 TBAB (10, 40, 60 wt%), TBAF (10, 34, 45 wt%), THF (4, 19, 31 wt%)에 대하여 3상 평형 (하이드레이트 (H) - 물 (LW) - 기상 (V))을 측정한 결과 40 wt%의 TBAB, 34 wt%의 TBAF, 19 wt%의 THF의 농도에서 가장 큰 촉진효과를 보였으며, 그 이상의 조성에서는 오히려 촉진효과가 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 순수계와 촉진제 첨가계에 대하여 하이드레이트 생성 후의 기상과 하이드레이트상의 $CO_2$ 조성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 모든 실험조건에서 하이드레이트상에 85% 이상의 높은 농도로 $CO_2$가 농축되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 과정을 반복하면 순도 99% 이상의 매우 높은 $CO_2$ 기체를 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 가스 하이드레이트 형성과정의 반응특성을 살펴보기 위하여 반응시간에 따른 기상의 $CO_2$ 농도변화를 측정하였다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용한 합성가스 분리 공정 개발에 중요한 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

An Experimental study was conducted on $CO_{2}$ recycle combustion heating system using pure oxygen instead of conventional air as an oxidant, which is thereby producing a flue gas of mostly $CO_{2}$ and water vapor($H_{2}O$ and water vapor($H_{2}O$) and resulting in higher $CO_{2}$ concentration. The advantages of the system are not only the ability to control high temperatures characteristic of oxygen combustion with recycling $CO_{2}$ but also the possibility to reduce NOx emission in the flue gas. A small scale industrial reheating furnace simulator and specially designed variable flame burner were used to characterize the $CO_{2}$ recycle oxy-fuel combustion, such as the variations of furnace pressure, temperature and composition in the flue gas during recycle. It was found that $CO_{2}$ concentration in the flue gas was about 80% without $CO_{2}$recycle. The furnace temperature and pressure and pressure were decreased due to recycle and the NOx emission was also reduced to maintain under 100ppm.

Thermodynamic measurements were performed to show the possibility of recovering $CO_2$ from fuel gas (the mixture of $CO_2$ and $H_2$) by forming gas hydrates with water where water was dispersed in the pores of silica gel particles having nominal 100 nm of pore diameter. The hydrate-phase equilibria for the ternary $CO_2+H_2$+water in pores were measured and $CO_2$ concentrations in vapor and hydrate phase were determined under the hydrate-vapor two phase region at constant 274.15 K. It was shown that the inhibition effect appeared due to silica gel pores, and the corresponding equilibrium dissociation pressures became higher than those of bulk water hydrates at a specific temperature. In addition, direct measurement of $CO_2$ content in the hydrate phase showed that the retrieved gas from the dissociation of hydrate contained more than 95 mol% of $CO_2$ when 42 mol% of $CO_2$ and balanced Hz mixture was applied. Compared with data obtained in case of bulk water hydrates, which showed just 83 mol% of $CO_2$ where 2-stage hydrate slurry reactor was intended to utilize this property, the hydrate formation in porous silica gel has enhanced the feasibility of $CO_2$ separation process. Hydrate formation as not for slurry but solid particle makes it possible to used fixed bed reactor, and can be a merit of well-understood technologies in the industrial field.

Attrition characteristics of WGS catalysts for pre-combustion $ CO_2$ capture were investigated to check attrition loss of those catalysts, to check change of particle size distribution during attrition tests, and to determine solid circulation direction of WGS catalysts in a SEWGS system. The cumulative attrition losses of two catalysts increased with increasing time. However, attrition loss under humidified condition was lower than that under non-humidified condition case for long-term attrition tests. Between two catalysts, attrition loss of PC-29 catalyst was higher than that of commercial catalyst for long-term attrition tests. However, the commercial catalyst generated much more fines than PC-29 catalyst during attrition. Therefore, we conclude that the PC-29 catalyst is more suitable for fluidized bed operation if we take into account the separation efficiency of cyclone. Based on the results from the tests for the effect of humidity on the attrition loss, we selected solid circulation direction from SEWGS reactor to regeneration reactor because the SEWGS reactor contains more water vapor than regeneration reactor.

The mechanical process followed by hydrometallurgical treatment has been developed in order to recover cobalt and lithium from spent lithium ion battery. In the previous study, a citrate precursor combustion process to prepare cathodic active materials from the leaching solution was elucidated. Resynthesis of electrode materials should be more valuable in spent battery recycling. Conventional slurry mixing of $LiCoO_2$ and carbon cannot make uniform distribution, and therefore the cathode cannot reach the theoretical charge-discharge capacity and is easily degraded during the charge-discharge cycling. In this study, ultra-fine $LiCoO_2$ powders has been prepared by modification of the combustion process and fabricated the enhanced cathode by modification of mixing method of $LiCoO_2$ and carbon added.

석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC)공정에서 가스화기를 거쳐 생성된 합성가스로부터 $CO_2$를 효과적으로 분리/회수하기 위해 가스 고형화법을 제안하였다. 가스 하이드레이트 형성과정에서의 반응특성을 살펴보기 위하여 반응시간에 따른 가스소모량과 기상의 $CO_2$ 조성 변화를 측정하였다. 순수계와 촉진제 첨가계 (TBAB (10, 40 wt%), TBAF (10, 34 wt%), THF (4, 19 wt%))에 대하여 하이드레이트 생성 후의 기상과 하이드레이트상의 $CO_2$ 조성을 측정하였으며, 그 결과 하이드레이트 형성법에 의해 고농도의 $CO_2$가 하이드레이트상에 포집되는 것을 확인하였다. 가스 소모량 측정실험에서는 THF 19.1 wt%를 첨가하였을 때 가장 큰 소모량을 보였으며, TBAF 10 wt%를 첨가하였을 때 가장 적은 가스소모량을 보였다. $CO_2$ 조성 변화 실험에서는 가스 소모량 실험과 마찬가지로 THF 19.1 wt%를 첨가하였을 때 가장 큰 조성변화를 보였다. 이는 THF의 첨가로 인하여 가스 하이드레이트로의 전환율 증가로 많은 양의 $CO_2$ 기체가 하이드레이트 상에 포집되었음을 나타낸다. 속도론적인 측면에서는 모든 실험조건에서 하이드레이트 형성반응이 1시간 이내에 대부분 종결되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 $^1H$-NMR을 통하여 혼합가스 하이드레이트의 구조적인 분석을 진행하였다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 가스 하이드레이트 형성법을 이용한 합성가스 분리 공정 개발에 중요한 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
