연소전 $CO_2$ 포집용 SEWGS 시스템의 SEWGS 반응기와 재생반응기 사이의 고체순환을 위해 SEWGS 반응기 - 하부루프실 - 재생반응기 - 상승관 - 사이클론 - 상부 루프실로 구성된 순환유동층 시스템을 사용하고 있다. 현재 시스템의 경우 수직형 하부 루프실을 사용하고 있으나 하부 루프실의 유동화 및 안정적인 고체순환을 위해 유량이 많이 필요하고 가끔씩 슬러그가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 하부 루프실 형태로 경사형 하부 루프실을 제안하였으며, 상온, 상압 조건에서 $CO_2$ 흡수제(P-78)를 층물질로 사용하여 기포유동층-기포유동층-고속유동층 형태의 순환유동층 실험장치를 이용하여 하부 루프실의 형태 변화에 따른 고체순환특성을 측정 및 비교하였다. 경사형 하부루프실의 경우가 수직형인 경우보다 적은 유량으로 안정적인 고체순환을 유지할 수 있었으며 두 반응기 사이의 고체층 높이 차이도 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타나 경사형 하부 루프실을 사용하는 것이 유리한 것으로 결론지을 수 있었다.

기체 수송층 흡수탑과 기포 유동층 재생탑으로 구성된 $CO_2$ 회수 공정에 대한 해석의 첫 단계로 이 공정에서 고체 순환특성을 해석하였다. 흡수제 고체 입자에 대한 입도별 물질수지를 해석하여 공정의 흐름에서 고체 흐름량과 입도 분포를 결정하였다. 실험실 규모 공정(흡수탑: 직경 25 mm, 높이 6 m; 재생탑: 직경 0.1 m, 높이 1.2 m)에서 고체순환특성을 모사하였다. 흡수탑의 입도분포는 재생탑의 입도분포와 거의 같았다. 흡수탑에서 유속과 정체층 높이가 증가함에 따라서 고체순환량과 새 흡수제 주입량은 증가하였다. 반면에 흡수탑 내 입자의 평균입경은 감소하였다. 흡수탑사이클론의 절단입도가 증가함에 따라서 고체순환속도는 감소하였으며, 새 흡수제 주입속도와 흡수탑 내 입자의 평균 입경은 증가하였다. 흡수제 입자의 마모계수가 증가함에 따라서 고체순환속도는 증가하고, 새 흡수제 주입속도는 증가하며, 흡수탑 내 입자의 평균입경은 감소하였다.

Objectives: With the growth of national interest in fine particulate matter, many complaints about pollutants emitted from air pollution emitting facilities have arisen in recent years. In particular, it is thought that a large volume of particulate pollutants are discharged from workplaces that use Solid Refuse Fuel (SRF). Therefore, particulate contaminants generated from SRF were measured and analyzed in this study in terms of respective particle sizes. Methods: In this study, particulate matter in exhaust gas was measured by applying US EPA method 201a using a cyclone. This method measures Filterable Particulate Matter (FPM), and does not consider the Condensable Particulate Matter (CPM) that forms particles in the atmosphere after being discharged as a gas in the exhaust gas. Results: The mass concentration of Total Suspended Particles (TSP) in the four SRF-using facilities was 1.16 to 11.21 mg/Sm3, indicating a very large concentration deviation of about 10 times. When the fuel input method was the continuous injection type, particulate matter larger than 10 ㎛ diameter showed the highest particle size fraction, followed by particulate matter smaller than 10 ㎛ and larger than 2.5 ㎛, and particulate matter of 2.5 ㎛ or less. Contrary to the continuous injection type, the batch injection type had the smallest particle size fraction of particulate matter larger than 10 ㎛. The overall particulate matter decreased as the operating load factor decreased from 100% to 60% at the batch input type D plant. In addition, as incomplete combustion significantly decreased, the particle size fraction also changed significantly. Both TSP and heavy metals (six items) satisfied the emissions standards. The measured value of the emission factor was 38-99% smaller than the existing emissions factor. Conclusions: In the batch injection facility, the particulate matter decreased as the operating load factor decreased, as did the particle size fraction of the particulate matter. These results will help the selection of effective methods such as reducing the operating load factor instead of adjusting the operating time during emergency reduction measures.

The physicochemical properties of solid wastes generated from seven highway service areas, four branch offices, and one construction site were analyzed in concert with air pollutants including heavy metals emitted from near-by small-scale incinerators. The amount of solid wastes generated from highway areas has been increasing with recent increases in the number of highways and passengers. Twelve incinerators examined in this study generally had capacity smaller than 100 kg/hr, most of which were equipped with cyclone for dust removal. It was seen that the concentrations of the gas-phase air pollutants (e.g., SO$_2$, NO$_{x}$, HCl and H$_2$S) were above the acceptable emission standards except one or two sites. CO concentrations at all incinerators were also higher due to incomplete combustion. In addition, particulate matters showed concentration six times higher at their maximum. The results of heavy metal analysis showed that the concentrations of Cu, Cd, and Ni satisfied the emission standards. whereas Pb at one site and Zn at five sites exceeded the standards. Cr measurement results indicated that 9 of 12 incinerators had higher values than the standard; especially one branch office showed nine times higher than normal concentration. In order to satisfy more stringent emission standards in the near future, it is necessary to install air pollution control system and to develop an intensified management plan.n.

A large amount of carbon monoxide (CO) is generated in circulating fluidized bed combustion, the process whereby a hot cyclone separates unburned fuel. However, calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), when combined with a high CO content, can cause fouling on the surface of the steam tube installed inside the integrated recycle heat exchangers (INTREX). In this study, CaSO₄ decomposition was investigated using 0.2-3.2 vol.% CO and 1-3 vol.% oxygen (O₂) at 850℃ for 20 min in a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor. The results show that CaSO₄ decomposes into CaS and CaO when CO gas is supplied, and SO₂ emissions increase from 135 ppm to 1021 ppm with increasing CO concentration. However, the O₂ supply delayed SO₂ emissions because the reaction between CO and O₂ is faster than that of CaSO₄; nevertheless, when supplied with CaCO₃, the intermediate product, SO₂ was significantly released, regardless of the CO and O₂ supply. In addition, agglomerated solids and yellow sulfur power were observed after solid recovery, and the reactor distributor was corroded. Consequently, a sufficient O₂ supply is important and can prevent fouling formation on the INTREX surface by suppressing CaSO₄ degradation.
