The study of $CO_2$ absorption in a packed column by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) dissolved in ethylene glycol is presented. Absorption column of inner diameter 1 in and 0.6 m length was filled with Protruded-packing $0.16in{\times}0.16in$. We investigated the effect of operating conditions on overall mass transfer coefficients as well as on $CO_2$ removal efficiency. The loading values reached at about $1.0mol_{CO2}/mol_{TMG}$. In case of absorbent with lean $CO_2$ loading, the overall mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the concentration of TMG. However, in the range of more than ${\alpha}=0.5molCO_2/molTMG$, the overall mass transfer coefficients decreased with the concentration of TMG. It is due to the increasing of mass transfer resistance in liquid phase as increasing of viscosity at higher loading values.

In order to separate the fuel-grade DME from the product of a direct DME synthesise reaction, containing 19~20% of DME, an absorption column and a purification column were employed. In the DME absorption column, the flow rate of the methanol required to recover more than 99% of DME at 50 bar was estimated by the correlation obtained from the lab-scale experiments. In the DME purification column, the maximum DME recovery of 98.2% could be obtained even from the side stream at the 3rd stage above the feed stage, since the feed stream originated from the product of the absorption column had already contained a large amount of DME (20~30 mol%) and only a small amount of light products such as $CO_2$ and $N_2$ (5~10 mol%).

In this study, Seochon Thermal Power Plant No.1 for anthracite coal was tested to find the proper operation range of limestone slurry pH in the absorber tower which can be operated continuously in compliance with the Air Quality Preservation Act and Seocheon Thermal Power Division's internal regulation, sulfur dioxide average emission regulation. When operating the sulfur dioxide concentration [ppm] in the combustion gas flowing into the desulfurization absorption tower at 370, 400, 460 and 550 ppm while the main operating elements such as the flow rate of the combustion gas were fixed, the proper slurry pH Were 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 5.1, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to operate with the correlation equation, R_pH=0.004×C_in+2.93 derived using sulfur dioxide and the appropriate slurry pH.

In this study, a computer simulation work has been performed for the carbon dioxide removal process using aqueous amine solution in the GTL (Gas To Liquids) process. 30wt% DEA(diethnaol amine) aqueous solution was utilized as a carbon dioxide remvoal agent and an absorber-stripper two-columns configuration was used. Kent-Eisenburg modeling equation built-in amine specicial package was used for the modeling of the carbon dioxide removal process. PRO/II with PROVISION 9.0, a commercial process simulator was used. Through this simulation study, heat and material balance was obtained and packing column diameter and column height were also estimated.

Aiming at the treatment of large volumes of gas with a low concentration of poorly water soluble VOC(Volatile Organic Compound), a new system is proposed: the combination absorption tower/bioreactor. In the scrubber part of the bioscrubbing system, the contaminating compounds are absorbed in a aqueous phase. The contaminated scrubbing liquid is transported to the bioreactor, where the compounds are biodegraded by aerobic microorganisms (mainly to carbon dioxide, water, and biomass). In this study, separation of a volatile organic compound(VOC) out of a waste gas stream has been carried out using a re-cyclable high boiling point extrant(HBE). The liquid stream containing a high boiling point entrant(HBE) scrubs the gas stream in a direct gas-liquid countercurrent contacting operation in a packed tower for the removal of said component from the gaseous stream. A packed-bed column using Pall Ring was set up in order to simulate practical conditions for the scrubbing tower. The liquid stream transported to the bioreactor is recovered and recycled to the scrubber. The model gas, which contained 400 mg/$\textrm{m}^3$ of toluene, at a rate of 100 L/min, flowed into the packed column where the scrubbing liquid trickled over the packing in countercurrent to the rising gas at 10~15L/min. The bioscrubber designed for large volume air streams containing VOCs showed removal efficiency up to 80% in an optimum operating conditions during the tests fer removing toluene from an air stream by scrubbing the air stream with HBE.

To make synthetic liquid fuel from biomass such as wood pellet, energy crop and so on, a biomass to liquid (BTL) process by using a biomass gasifier with Fisher-Tropsch (FT) reaction was developed. However $H_2S$, COS and $CO_2$ in syngas from biomass gasifiers resulted in a decrease of the conversion efficiency and the deactivation of the catalyst. To remove acid gases in syngas, a lab-scale methanol absorption tower was developed and the removal characteristics of acid gases were investigated. The methanol absorption tower efficiently removed $H_2S$ and COS with a removal of $CO_2$, so it could be useful process for the BTL process.

실험실규모(0.5Nm$^3$/hr)의 이산화탄소 연속흡수분리장치의 실험결과를 바탕으로 Bench규모(5Nm$^3$/hr)의 이산화탄소 연속흡수분리장치 설계하였다.

산업공정에서 배출되는 대기오염물질 및 유독성가스를 제거하기 위한 방법에는 여러 가지가 적용되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 충전탑을 이용한 흡수원리로써 오염물질을 처리하는데 후력학적 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 즉 환경보호와 화학공업에서 에너지 절약 측면에 충전탑의 사용이 증가되고 있으며, 충전물의 재료로는 플라스틱, 금속 및 세라믹 등으로 제작되며 종류로는 VSP-ring, Hiflow-ring, Hackette, Top-packing, Envi-pac 등이 있고 사용범위는 정류와 증류, 흡수 및 탈착과 액체와 액체의 추출공정 등에 효율적으로 사용되고 있다. 산업현장에서는 과거에 주로 사용되어온 Intalox-saddle, Rasching-ring, Pall-ring 등의 재래적 충전물은 압력손실과 물질전달, 에너지 절약 및 효율성이 좋은 격자형 충전물의 개발로 인하여 점점 사용이 감소되고 있는 추세이며, 최근에는 합성수지로 제조된 충전물 NSW-ring, Hiflow-ring, Envi-pac 등은 실험 결과에 의해서 재래적인 충전물 Raschig-ring과 Pall-ring보다 높은 상대적인 공간체적과 충전높이에 따른 낮은 압력손실과 함께 높은 부하 한계치에 대하여 효율적이고 가벼운 분리작용에 의한 수력학적 특성이 증명되어졌다. 격자형 충전물이 산업에 적용되기 위해서는 압력손실과 액체함량, 부하 한계치 가스상 또는 액상 물질전달의 특성을 규명하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가수와 액체의 역류흐름에 의한 수력학적 특성과 물질전달 실험결과를 나타내었다.
