The fast pyrolysis characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass are investigated for a bubbling fluidized bed reactor by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). To simulate multiphase reacting flows for gases and solids, an Eulerian-Eulerian approach is applied. Attention is paid for the primary and secondary reactions affected by gas-solid flow field. From the result, it is scrutinized that fast pyrolysis reaction is promoted by chaotic bubbling motion of the multiphase flow enhancing the mixing of solid particles. In particular, vortical flow motions around gas bubbles play an important role for solid mixing and consequent fast pyrolysis reaction. Discussion is made for the time-averaged pyrolysis reaction rates together with time-averaged flow quantities which show peculiar characteristics according to local transverse location in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor.

The characteristics of flow and heat transfer in a bubbling fluidized bed are investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). To simulate two-phase flow for the gas and solid flows, Eulerian-Eulerian approach is applied. Attention is paid for a heat transfer from the wall to fluidized bed by bubbling motion of the flow. From the result, it is confirmed that heat transfer is promoted by chaotic bubbling motion of the flow by enhancement of mixing among solid particles. In particular, the vortical flow motion around gas bubble plays an important role for the mixing and consequent heat transfer. Discussion is made for the time and space averaged Nusselt number which shows peculiar characteristics corresponding to different flow regimes.

전기와 천연가스와 같이 안정적이며 신뢰할 수 있는 에너지를 현대 사회가 요구하기 때문에 재생에너지와 화석연료의 장점들을 모두 보유하고 있는 다양한 방식의 태양열 하이브리드 공정들이 세계 각국에서 개발되고 있다. 특히 고체 입자에 태양열을 저장하는 유동층 기반의 태양열 하이브리드 공정은 기존의 유동층 연소 및 가스화에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대받고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ASTM D5757 반응기와 0.14 m의 직경과 2 m 높이의 유동층 반응기를 이용하여 태양열 하이브리드 공정의 유동층물질로서 검토되고 있는 실리콘 카바이드, 알루미나 입자들의 마모 및 열전달 특성을 고찰하였다. 특히 다양한 상업 유동층 반응기에서 유동층물질로 이용되는 모래와 비교하였다. 실리콘카바이드와 알루미나의 내마모성은 모래보다 우수하였으며 평균 열전달 계수도 125 ~ 152 W m^-2K^-1 범위를 가지는 것으로 고찰되었다.

The bio-oil produced from the fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass contains a high amount of oxygenates, causing variation in the properties of bio-oil, such as instability, high acidity, and low heating value, reducing the quality of the bio-oil. Consequently, an upgrading process should be recommended ensuring that these bio-oils are widely used as fuel sources. Catalytic fast pyrolysis has attracted a great deal of attention as a promising method for producing upgraded bio-oil from biomass feedstock. In this study, the fast pyrolysis of tulip tree was performed in a bubbling fluidized-bed reactor under different reaction temperatures, with and without catalysts, to investigate the effects of pyrolysis temperature and catalysts on product yield and bio-oil quality. The system used silica sand, ferric oxides (Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄), and H-ZSM-5 as the fluidized-bed material and nitrogen as the fluidizing medium. The liquid yield reached the highest value of 49.96 wt% at 450 ℃, using Fe₂O₃ catalyst, compared to 48.45 wt% for H-ZSM-5, 47.57 wt% for Fe₃O₄ and 49.03 wt% with sand. Catalysts rejected oxygen mostly as water and produced a lower amount of CO and CO₂, but a higher amount of H₂ and hydrocarbon gases. The catalytic fast pyrolysis showed a high ratio of H₂/CO than sand as a bed material.

To compare reduction reactivity of oxygen carrier particles, $CH_4$ combustion characteristics were measured and investigated in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor with increasing $CH_4$ concentration from 10 to 100 %. Among five oxygen carriers (OC-1, OC-2, SDN70, C14, C28), OC-1, OC-2, SDN70 particles were selected as better oxygen carriers from the viewpoints of fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity. However, some oxygen carriers showed lower fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity even though they have high oxygen transfer capacity. Therefore, we could conclude that not only TGA tests to measure the oxygen transfer capacity but also fluidized bed tests to analyze exhaust gas concentration should be performed to select better oxygen carrier without misunderstanding of carriers reactivity.

고체 입자들이 유체처럼 움직이는 유동층 공정은 에너지 전환 공정뿐만 아니라 범용 고분자 수지의 생산 공정에도 이용되고 있다. 범용 고분자 수지 중의 하나인 LLDPE(Linear low density polyethylene)도 기포 유동층 공정을 통해 전세계에서 생산되고 있다. 입자 크기에 비해 밀도가 낮은 LLDPE 입자들은 고분자 중합 반응을 위해 공급되는 수소에 의해서 유동화된다. 그러나 LLDPE 생산 공정은 기포유동층 공정임에도 불구하고 발생한 슬러그로 인하여 반응에 영향을 끼쳐 공정의 효율 저하를 불러올 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상용 고분자 반응기를 모사한 pilot 규모의 고분자 합성 반응기(0.38 m l.D., 4.4 m High)와 동일한 시뮬레이션 모델을 구축하여 LLDPE 입자의 유동화 상태를 고찰하였다. 특히 기체 유속(0.45-1.2 m/s), 고체 입자 밀도(900-1900 kg/㎥), 입자 구형도(0.5-1.0), 입자 크기(120-1230 ㎛)의 변화에 따른 슬러그 특성을 세밀하게 고찰하기 위하여 전산입자유체해석(Computational particle-fluid dynamics, CPFD)을 이용하였다. CPFD를 통해서 일부 실험자들만 고찰할 수 있었던 flat slug의 발생을 시각적으로 구현하였으며 밀도, 구형도, 크기 등의 고체의 물리적 특성을 변화시킴에 따라 슬러그 발생을 저감시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Effects of pressure, temperature, gas velocity, and fuel flow rate on reduction of three oxygen carriers, SDN70, OC-1, OC-2, were measured and investigated in a pressurized bubbling fluidized bed reactor. Among three oxygen carriers OC-2 was selected as the best oxygen carrier in view of fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity. However, all oxygen carriers showed good reactivity even at high pressure conditions. SDN70 particle showed maximum reactivity at $900^{\circ}C$ and low reactivity at $950^{\circ}C$. However, reactivity decay of OC-1 and OC-2 particles at high temperature condition was negligible. The fuel conversion and the $CO_2$ selectivity slightly decreased as the gas velocity increased, whereas they are slightly increased as the fuel concentration increased.

하수슬러지 고형연료 및 우드펠렛의 전소 및 혼소 실험을 위해 내경 0.1 m, 높이가 1.2 m인 기포 유동층 반응기를 적용하였으며, 장치는 유동층 반응기, 연료 공급장치, 사이클론, 냉각기, 그리고 가스분석기로 구성되었다. 층 물질의 평균입자크기는 $460{\mu}m$이며, 최소 유동화 속도는 $0.21ms^{-1}$이다. 실험에 사용된 연료는 국내산 하수슬러지 고형연료 및 캐나다산 우드펠렛을 적용하였으며, 우드펠렛 기준 혼합율 20, 50, 80%로 고위발열량을 기준으로 산정하였다. 실험 고정변수는 당량비 1.65, 산화제 $100Lmin^{-1}$, 반응기 온도 $800^{\circ}C$, 유동화수 4로 설정하였다. TGA 분석 결과, 하수슬러지의 고형 연료의 연소성이 우드펠렛이 비해 상대적으로 좋지 않았다. 연소시 반응기 온도는 $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 사이로 유지되었으며, 유동층 반응기에서 하수 슬러지 고형연료의 낮은 연소성으로 인해 CO가 상대적으로 높게 측정되었다. 뿐만 아니라 $NO_X$와 $SO_X$는 하수슬러지 고형연료 내의 질소함량으로 인해 우드펠렛에 비해 높게 측정되었으며, 혼소율이 증가될수록 CO, $NO_X$, 그리고 $SO_X$의 배출이 감소하였다. 혼소에 따른 회분의 거동 및 퇴적 경향에서 모든 조건에 대해 슬래깅/파일링의 가능성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Hydrogen is an alternative fuel for the future energy which can reduce pollutants and greenhouse gases. Synthesis gas have played an important role of synthesizing the valuable chemical compound, for example methanol, DME and GTL chemicals. Renewable biomass feedstocks can be potentially used for fuels and chemical production. Current thermal processing techniques such as fast pyrolysis, slow pyrolysis, and gasification tend to generate products with a large slate of compounds. Lignocellulose feedstocks such as forest residues are promising for the production of bio-oil and synthesis gas. Pyrolysis and gasification was investigated using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and bubbling fluidized bed gasification reactor to utilize forest woody biomass. Most of the materials decomposed between $320^{\circ}C$ and $380^{\circ}C$ at heating rates of $5{\sim}20^{\circ}C/min$ in thermogravimetric analysis. Bubbling fluidized bed reactor were use to study gasification characteristics, and the effects of reaction temperature, residence time and feedstocks on gas yields and selectivities were investigated. With increasing temperature from $750^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$, the yield of char decreased, whereas the yield of gas increased. The gaseous products consisted of mostly CO, CO2, H2 and a small fraction of C1-C4 hydrocarbons.
