In the power generation industry, various efforts are needed to cope with tightening regulation on carbon dioxide emission. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a relatively environmentally friendly power generation method using coal. Moreover, pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture is possible in the IGCC system. Therefore, much effort is being made to develop advanced IGCC systems. However, removal of $CO_2$ prior to the gas turbine may affect the system performance and operation because the fuel flow, which is supplied to the gas turbine, is reduced in comparison with normal IGCC plants. This study predicts, through a parametric analysis, system performances of both an IGCC plant using normal syngas and a plant with $CO_2$ capture. Performance characteristics are compared and influence of $CO_2$ capture is discussed. By removing $CO_2$ from the syngas, the heating value of the fuel increases, and thus the required fuel flow to the gas turbine is reduced. The resulting reduction in turbine flow lowers the compressor pressure ratio, which alleviates the compressor surge problem. The performance of the bottoming cycle is not influenced much.

수산화칼륨(KOH) 수용액을 이용한 $CO_2$ 포집에 관한 연구를 수행한 결과 $K_2CO_3$ 생성 및 $KHCO_3$가 생성되는 화학흡수 반응이 순차적으로 일어났고 그 후 $CO_2$ 물리흡수가 일어남으로써 전 반응이 종료되었다. KOH가 한계 반응물인 회분식 흡수에서 $K_2CO_3$의 생성 속도는 $OH^-$ 농도에 관해 1차 반응이며 $KHCO_3$ 생성 속도는 $CO_3^{2-}$ 농도에 0차 반응으로 흡수 속도는 $0.18gCO_2/mi$n으로 계산되었고 이 값은 $K_2CO_3$ 수용액에서의 흡수 속도와 일치한다. 5% KOH 흡수제의 $CO_2$ 포집율의 경우 1구간에서 57%, 2구간에서 12% 이었으며 전체 19%로 측정되었다. KOH 흡수제의 $CO_2$ 포집양은 이론값보다 2~3% 정도 작았는데 그 이유는 $KHCO_3$ 이외 $K_2CO_3{\cdot}KHCO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O$가 생성되는 부 반응이 동반되기 때문으로 판단된다.

지구온난화 주요 원인 중에 하나인 이산화탄소의 효율적 저감을 위해 새로운 흡수제인 아미노산염 흡수제를 개발하여 이산화탄소 연속공정을 연구하였다. 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장에 소요되는 비용 중 약 70%는 이산화탄소 포집비용이며, 이산화탄소 포집 공정 중에서 이산화탄소 흡수, 재생, 열화 등 흡수제에 의한 공정유지 비용이 대부분을 차지한다. 따라서 연속공정을 통한 흡수제의 특성 평가는 새로운 흡수제 개발에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 potassium L-lysine 흡수제의 이산화탄소 흡수 재생 연속공정을 평가하여 공정 스케일업에 필요한 엔지니어링 자료를 도출하고자 하였다. 흡수제와 이산화탄소 농도 변화 등 다양한 조건에서 아미노산염 흡수제의 최적 조건을 평가하였다. 동일한 조건에서 L/G가 커질수록 이산화탄소 제거율이 높게 나타났으며, L/G 3.5에서 흡수탑과 재생탑 공정이 안정하게 유지되었다. 또한 아미노산염 흡수제는 유량 1.5 $Nm^3/h$인 상태에서 L/G 3.5, 이산화탄소 농도 10.5 vol%의 공정 조건일 때 가장 높은 이산화탄소 제거효율이 나타내었다.

Techno-economic evaluation of Non-Capture $CO_2$ Utilization (NCCU) technology for the production of high-value-added products using greenhouse gas ($CO_2$) was performed. The general scheme of NCCU process is composed of $CO_2$ carbonation and brine electrolysis process. Through a carbonation reaction with sodium hydroxide that is generated from brine electrolysis and $CO_2$ of the flue gas, it is possible to get high-value-added products such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen & chloride and also to reduce the $CO_2$ emission simultaneously. For the techno-economic study on NCCU technology, continuous operation of bench-scale facility which could treat $2kgCO_2/day$ was performed. and based on the key performance data evaluated, the economic evaluation analysis targeted on the commercial chemical plant, which could treat 6 tons $CO_2$ per day, was performed using the net present value (NPV) metrics. The results showed that the net profit obtained during the whole plant operation was about 7,890 mKRW (million Korean Won) on NPV metrics and annual $CO_2$ reduction was estimated as about $2,000tCO_2$. Also it was found that the energy consumption of brine electrolysis is one of the key factors which affect the plant operation cost (ex. electricity consumption) and the net profit of the plant. Based on these results, it could be deduced that NCCU technology of this study could be one of the cost-effective $CO_2$ utilization technology options.

However, removal of $CO_2$ may affect the system performance and operation through reduction of fuel gas supplied to the gas turbine. This study predicts system performance change due to $CO_2$ capture by pre-combustion process from the normal IGCC performance without $CO_2$ capture and presents results of design parametric analysis.

한전 전력연구원에서 개발한 고효율 아민계 습식 $CO_2$ 흡수제(KoSol-5)를 적용하여 0.1 MW급 Test Bed $CO_2$ 포집 성능시험을 수행하였다. 500 MW급 석탄화력발전소에서 발생되는 연소 배가스를 적용하여 하루 2톤의 $CO_2$를 처리할 수 있는 연소 후 $CO_2$ 포집기술의 성능을 확인하였으며 또한 국내에서는 유일하게 재생에너지 소비량을 실험적으로 측정함으로써 KoSol-5 흡수제의 성능에 대한 신뢰성 있는 데이터를 제시하고자 하였다. 그리고 주요 공정변수 운전 및 흡수탑 인터쿨링 효율 향상에 따른 에너지 저감 효과를 테스트하였다. 흡수탑에서의 $CO_2$ 제거율은 국제에너지기구 산하 온실가스 프로그램(IEA-GHG)에서 제시하는 $CO_2$ 포집기술 성능평가 기준치($CO_2$ 제거율: 90%)를 안정적으로 유지하였다. 또한 흡수제(KoSol-5)의 재생을 위한 스팀 사용량(재생에너지)은 $2.95GJ/tonCO_2$가 소비되는 것으로 산출되었는데 이는 기존 상용 흡수제(MEA, Monoethanol amine)의 평균 재생에너지 수준(약 $4.0GJ/tonCO_2$) 대비 약 26% 저감 된 수치이다. 본 연구를 통해 한전 전력연구원에서 개발한 KoSol-5 흡수제 및 $CO_2$ 포집 공정의 우수한 $CO_2$ 포집 성능을 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 본 연구에서 성능이 확인된 고효율 흡수제(KoSol-5)를 실증급 $CO_2$ 포집플랜트에 적용할 경우 $CO_2$ 포집비용을 크게 낮출 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

In order to examine the feasibility of Carbon Capture & Sequestration, a major technological strategy for the national goal of greenhouse gas reduction, this paper studies the various methods and corresponding costs for the transportation of $CO_2$ captured at the domestic thermal power plants, as well as performing comparative analysis with overseas CCS demonstration projects. It is predicted that the investment cost would be about 98 million USD when the using land-based pipelines to transport captured $CO_2$ from the thermal power plant located in the south coast. And using marine-based offshore pipelines, it will cost about twice the amount. When the captured $CO_2$ is transported from the power plant in the west coast instead, the cost is expected to increase substantially due to the transportation distance to the storage site being more than double to that of the south coast power plant case.

Objective: The aim of this study is to control residual chemicals or by-products generated in chambers during preventive maintenance (PM) in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. We designed local exhaust ventilation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Methods: The air flow characteristics and capture efficiency between rectangular and slot hoods were compared numerically. The software Fluent 18.1 was used to estimate uniform velocity distribution and capture efficiency for contaminants. A metal from group 15 in the periodic table was released at the bottom of the chamber to simulate emissions. Results: The slot hood had a higher capture efficiency than a rectangular hood under the same conditions because the slot hood provided uniform air flow and higher face velocity. Also, there was no rotating swirl in the plenum for slot, that is why slot had better efficiency than rectangular even though they had similar face velocity. With less than 10 slots, the capture efficiencies for contaminants were nearly 95%. The optimum conditions for a hood to achieve high efficiency was 8 to 10 slots and a face velocity over 1 m/s. Conclusions: Well-designed ventilation systems must consider both efficiency and convenience. For this study, a slot hood that had high capture efficiency and no work disturbance was designed. This will contribute to protection of the worker's health in a PM area and other areas as well. Also, this study confirms the possibility of the application CFD in the semiconductor fabrication industry.

Thermal amine scrubbing is the most advanced CO₂ capture technique but its largescale application is hindered due to the large heat requirement during solvent regeneration step. The addition of a solid metal oxide catalysts can optimize the CO₂ desorption rate and thus minimize the energy consumption. Herein, we evaluate the solvent regeneration performance of Monoethanolamine (MEA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) solvents without and with two metal oxide catalysts (TiO₂ and V₂O₅) within a temperature range of 40-86℃. The solvent regeneration performance was evaluated in terms of CO₂ desorption rate and overall amount of CO₂ desorbed during the experiments. Both catalysts improved the solvent regeneration performance by desorbing greater amounts of CO₂ with higher CO₂ desorption rates at low temperature. Improvements of 86% and 50% in the CO₂ desorption rate were made by the catalysts for MEA and DEA solvents, respectively. The total amount of the desorbed CO₂ also improved by 17% and 13% from MEA and DEA solvents, respectively. The metal oxide catalyst-aided regeneration of amine solutions can be a new approach to minimize the heat requirement during solvent regeneration and thus can remove a primary shortfall of this technology.
