To develop an ash separator for the solid fuel chemical looping combustion system, effects of operating variables such as solid injection nozzle velocity, diameter of solid injection nozzle, gap between solid injection line and vent line, vent line inside diameter, and solid intake height on solid separation rate and solid separation efficiency were measured and discussed using heavy and coarse particle and light and fine particles mixture as bed material in an acrylic fluidized bed apparatus. The solid separation rate increased as the solid injection nozzle velocity and the diameter of solid injection nozzle increased. However, the solid separation rate decreased as the gap between solid injection line and vent line, the vent line inside diameter, and the solid intake height increased. The solid separation efficiency was in inverse proportion to the solid separation rate. In this study, we could get high solid separation rate up to 2.39 kg/hr with 91.6% of solid separation efficiency.

Basic design of 3 MWth chemical looping combustion system for LNG combustion and steam generation was conducted based on the mass and energy balance and the previous reactivity test results of oxygen carrier particles. Process configuration including fast fluidized bed (air reactor), loop seal and bubbling fluidized bed (fuel reactor) was confirmed and their dimensions were determined by mass balance. Then, the external fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) was adopted based on the energy balance to extract heat from the system. The optimum reactor design and operating condition was confirmed with sensitivity analysis by modifying system configuration based on the mass and energy balance.

본 연구는 매체순환연소공정용 산소전달입자로서 $CaSnO_3$ 입자의 타당성을 조사하기 위해 수행하였다. $CaSnO_3$은 페롭스카이트 구조를 가지고, 반복되는 환원-산화 반응 후에도 구조적안정성을 보였다. 산소전달량은 환원 반응 시 결정구조 변화를 통해 계산된 이론 수치와 거의 동일한 15.4 wt%를 가졌다. 10번의 환원과 산화 반응 후에, 산소전달량과 산소전달속도는 작동 온도에서 일정하게 유지되었다. 결론적으로, $CaSnO_3$ 입자는 CLC의 산소 운반체로서 좋은 대체 물질이 될 수 있다고 판단하였다.

MgO or gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC, $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-{\delta}}$) was added as a promoter to improve the oxygen transfer kinetics of $MgMnO_3$ oxygen carrier material for chemical looping combustion. Neither MgO nor GDC reacted with $MgMnO_3$, even at the high temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$. The average oxygen transfer capacities of $MgMnO_3$, 5 wt% $MgO-MgMnO_3$, and 5 wt% $GDC-MgMnO_3$ were 8.74, 8.35, and 8.13 wt%, respectively. Although the addition of MgO or GDC decreased the oxygen transfer capacity, no further degradation was observed during their use in 5 redox cycles. The addition of GDC significantly improved the conversion rate for the reduction reaction of $MgMnO_3$ compared to the use of MgO due to an increase in the surface adsorption process of $CH_4$ via oxygen vacancies formed on the surface of GDC. On the other hand, the conversion rates for the oxidation reaction followed the order 5 wt% $GDC-MgMnO_3$ > 5 wt% $MgO-MgMnO_3$ >> $MgMnO_3$ due to morphological change. MgO or GDC particles suppressed the grain growth of the reduced $MgMnO_3$ (i.e., (Mg,Mn)O) and increased the specific surface area, thereby increasing the number of active reaction sites.

Effects of operating variables on temperature profile and performance of 3 MWth chemical looping combustion system were estimated by mass and energy balance analysis based on configuration and dimension of the system determined by design tool. Air reactor gas velocity, fuel reactor gas velocity, solid circulation rate, and solid input percentage to fluidized bed heat exchanger were considered as representative operating variables. Overall heat output and oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas from the air reactor increased but temperature difference decreased as air reactor gas velocity increased. Overall heat output, required solid circulation rate, and temperature difference increased as fuel reactor gas velocity increased. However, overall heat output and temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate increased. Temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate through the fluidized bed heat exchanger increased. Effect of each variables on temperature profile and performance can be determined and these results will be helpful to determine operating range of each variable.

In chemical-looping combustion, pure oxygen is transferred to fuel by solid particles called as oxygen carrier. Chemical-looping combustion process usually utilizes a circulating fluidized-bed process for fuel combustion and regeneration of the reduced oxygen carrier. The performance of an oxygen carrier varies with the active metal oxide and the raw support materials used. In this work, spraydried Mn-based oxygen carriers were prepared with different raw support materials and their physical properties and oxygen transfer performance were investigated to determine that the raw support materials used are suitable for spray-dried manganese oxide oxygen carrier. Oxygen carriers composed of 70 wt% $Mn_3O_4$ and 30 wt% support were produced using spray dryer. Two different types of $Al_2O_3$, ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, and $MgAl_2O_4$ were applied as starting raw support materials. The oxygen carrier prepared from ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ showed high mechanical strength stronger than commercial fluidization catalytic cracking catalyst at calcination temperatures below $1100^{\circ}C$, while the ones prepared from ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ and $MgAl_2O_4$ required higher calcination temperatures. Oxygen transfer capacity of the oxygen carrier prepared from ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was less than 3 wt%. In comparison, oxygen carriers prepared from ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ and $MgAl_2O_4$ showed higher oxygen transfer capacity, around 3.4 and 4.4 wt%, respectively. Among the prepared Mn-based oxygen carriers, the one made from $MgAl_2O_4$ showed superior oxygen transfer performance in the chemical-looping combustion of $CH_4$, $H_2$, and CO. However, it required a high calcination temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$ to obtain strong mechnical strength. Therefore, further study to develop new support compositions is required to lower the calcination temperature without decline in the oxygen transfer performance.

이산화탄소 포집 및 저장기술(CCS)은 인류발생적 요인에 의한 이산화탄소 배출 증가와 그로 인한 기후변화를 완화시킬 수 있는 기술 중 하나이다. 그 중, 매체 순환식 연소(chemical looping combustion, CLC)와 칼슘루핑(calcium looping) 기술은 현재 아민 스크러빙(amine scrubbing)을 대체할 수 있는 유망한 기술로 주목받고 있다. 두 방법 모두 금속 산화물을 이용한 연속적인 순환 사이클 반응에 의한 것이다. 전체적인 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장 성능의 향상을 위해서는 사이클을 거듭하며 발생하는 소결(sintering)로 인한 안정성 저하 문제를 해결하고 금속 산화물의 구조 또한 최적화해야 한다. 금속 산화물 표면에 얇은 박막을 형성하는 것은 소결로 인한 손상을 막을 수 있는 방법이다. 이러한 박막 제조 기술로 잘 알려진 기술에는 화학기상증착법(chemical vapor deposition)과 원자층증착기술(atomic layer deposition)이 있다. 본 총설에서는 CVD, ALD 기술을 비롯하여 효과적인 반응 안정성 향상을 위한 안정제 첨가 방법, 금속 산화물 구조 개선에 대한 다양한 최근 기술들을 다루었다.

Reaction characteristics and kinetics of a oxygen carrier (OCN717-R1SU) for chemical looping combustion (CLC) have been investigated using TGA by changing gas concentration (10-30 vol.% $CH_4$) and reaction temperature ($825-900^{\circ}C$). Reaction rate of OCN717-R1SU increased as temperature increased and it was found that reaction is delayed at the initial reaction regime. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) model was adopted to explain the reaction phenomenon. The activation energy (E) determined by JMA model in reduction reaction of OCN717-R1SU is $151.7{\pm}2.03kJ/mol$ and pre-exponential factor and JMA exponent were also obtained. The parameters calculated in this study will be applied in design of the reactor and operation conditions for CLC process.

매체 순환식 연소는 연소 공정 자체에서 질소 산화물 생성이나 부가적인 에너지 소비 없이 이산화탄소 분리가 이루어지는 신공정이다. 이 공정은 금속 산화물 입자가 두 개의 반응기를 순환하며 산화와 환원을 거치는 과정으로 구성되어 있다. 이 연구에서는 bentonite에 담지된 산화철 산소 공여 입자의 반응 속도 식을 shrinking core 모델을 통하여 수립하였다. 반응성 결과를 바탕으로 반응기 설계 기준인 고체 순환량과 입자 충전량을 도출하였다. 매체 순환식 연소 공정의 적용을 위하여 두 가지 형태의 연결된 유동층 즉, 상승관과 기포 유동층이 각각 한 개씩인 형태, 상승관 한 개와 기포 유동층이 두 개로 구성된 형태로 시스템을 설계하였다. 고체 순환량은 loop-seal을 통하여 $30kg/m^2s$ 정도까지 변화시켰다. 고체 순환량은 loop-seal의 기체 주입량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 보조 기체를 주입하면 그 양이 더 증대되었다. 고체 순환량이 증가함에 따라 상승관 내부의 고체량은 증가하였다. 상승관으로부터 다른 반응기로의 기체 누출량은 1% 미만의 수준이었다.
