예비개질기(Pre-reformer)는 중대형 내부개질형 용융탄산염 연료전지(MCFC) 시스템에서 다양한 연료를 사용하기 위한 필수적인 화학반응기이다. 예비개질기는 스택 전단에 설치함으로서 스택 내부의 열균형을 유지하고, 다양한 원료를 연료로 이용할 수 있도록 하며, 황화물로부터 후단의 개질촉매 및 전극촉매를 보호하여 주개질 반응의 부담을 감소시켜 MCFC 시스템의 내구성 향상의 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 예비개질 반응기 설계에 CFD 모델링을 적용하기에 앞서 파일롯 반응기 내 농도/ 온도 구배를 측정하고자 하는 목적으로 수행되었다. 반응가스로는 천연가스 내 고차탄화수소(C2 이상) 중 상대적으로 높은 농도를 가진 에탄을 이용하였고, MCFC용 예비개질기의 운전특성을 고려하여 비교적 낮은 온도와 높은 수증기/탄소 비에서 단열반응기로 실험을 진행하였다. 향후 본 실험결과를 이용하여 CFD 모델링에 대한 검증을 수행할 예정이며, 하수처리장부생가스(ADG)/ 매립지 가스(LFG)용 MCFC 시스템을 위한 예비개질기 설계에도 적용을 하고자 한다.

The fuel cells have been investigated in the applications of marine as the high efficient and eco-friendly power generating systems. In this study, modeling of IR Type molten carbonate fuel cell (Internal Reforming Type molten carbonate fuel cell) has been developed to analyze the feasibility of thermal energy utilization. The model is developed under Aspen plus and used for the study of system performances over regarding fuel types. The simulation results show that the efficiency of MCFC system based on NG fuel is the highest. Also, it is also verified that the steam reforming is suitable as pre-reforming for diesel fuel.

In this study, the reaction mechanism of ethane and the reaction rate equation suitable for hydrocarbon reforming were studied. Through the reaction mechanism analysis, it was confirmed that three reactions (CO2 + H2, C2H6 + H2, C2H6 + H2O) proceed during the reforming reaction of ethane, each reaction rate (CO2+H2($r=3.42{\times}10-5molgcat.-1\;s-1$), C2H6+H2($r=3.18{\times}10-5mol\;gcat.-1s-1$), C2H6+H2O($r=1.84{\times}10-5mol\;gcat.-1s-1$)) was determined. It was confirmed that the C2H6 + H2O reaction was a rate determining step (RDS). And the reaction equation of this reaction can be expressed as r = kS * (KAKBPC2H6PH2O) / (1 + KAPC2H6 + KBPH2O) (KA = 2.052, KB = 6.384, $kS=0.189{\times}10-2$) through the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The obtained equation was compared with the derived power rate law without regard to the reaction mechanism and the power rate law was relatively similar fitting in the narrow concentration change region (about 2.5-4% of ethane, about 60-75% of water) It was confirmed that the LH model reaction equation based on the reaction mechanism shows a similar value to the experimental value in the wide concentration change region.
