Effects of operating variables on the solid circulation rate were investigated in a three-phase circulating fluidized bed, of which inside diameter was 0.102m and height was 3.5m, respectively. Gas velocity, primary and secondary liquid velocities, particle size and height of solid particles piled up in the solid recycle device were chosen as operating variables. The solid circulation rate increased with increasing primary and secondary liquid velocities and height of solid particles piled up in the solid recycle device, but decreased with increasing particle size. The value of solid circulation rate decreased only slightly with increasing gas velocity in the riser. The values of solid circulation rate were well correlated in terms of dimensionless groups within the experimental conditions.

선택적 고체순환을 위한 신개념 2탑 유동층 공정에 적용하기 위해 고체분리기와 고체순환시스템을 개발하였다. 고체분리기에 의한 고체분리속도는 고체분사노즐의 유속, 고체층 높이, 고체분사노즐의 직경이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 유동화 속도의 영향은 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 개발한 고체분리기를 이용하여 굵은입자($212{\sim}300{\mu}m$)와 고운입자($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$)의 분리가 가능하였으며 고체분리속도는 66~453 g/min의 범위를 나타내었다. 고체순환시스템의 고체순환속도는 고체분사노즐의 유속, 고체층 높이, 고체유입구멍의 개수가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 유동화 속도의 영향은 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 개발한 고체순환시스템을 이용하여 고운입자의 순환이 가능하였으며 고체순환속도는 65~390 g/min의 범위를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 고체분리기와 고체순환시스템을 적용하여 선택적 고체순환이 가능한 2탑 유동층 공정을 구성하였으며 장기연속운전 가능성을 확인하기 위해 약 20시간까지 고체분리-순환 장기연속운전을 실증하였다. 두 유동층의 압력강하 값과 고체분리속도가 안정적으로 유지되어 고체순환이 원활하게 유지되는 것을 확인하였다.

For the first time, the characteristics of solid circulation rate ($G_S$) were investigated in a three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) viscous circulating fluidized bed (TPCFB). The solid circulation rate was controlled separately by adjusting the experimental apparatus as well as operating variables. Effects of primary and secondary liquid velocities ($U_{L1}$ and $U_{L2}$), gas velocity ($U_G$), particle size ($d_p$), height of particles piled up in the solid recycle device (h), and viscosity of continuous liquid media (${\mu}_L$) on the value of $G_S$ were determined. The experimental results showed that the value of $G_S$ increased with increases in the values of $U_{L1}$, $U_{L2}$, h and ${\mu}_L$, while it decreased with increasing $U_G$ and $d_p$ in TPCFBs with viscous liquid media. The values of $G_S$ were well correlated in terms of dimensionless groups within this experimental conditions.

To confirm the operating range of two oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion system, the effects of operating variables on solid circulation rate were measured and discussed using a two-interconnected circulating fluidized bed system at ambient temperature and pressure. Moreover, suitable operating ranges to avoid choking of the fast fluidized bed (air reactor) were confirmed for two oxygen carriers. A continuous long-term operation of steady-state solid circulation more than 24 hours was also demonstrated within the operating windows. Finally we could confirm that those two oxygen carriers are suitable for chemical looping combustion system with high solid circulation rate and smooth solid circulation.

Effect of loop seal geometry on solid circulation characteristics was investigated with two different types of upper loop seals and lower loop seals in a gas-solid fluidized bed system. Upper loop seal which has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts requires more fluidization gas to maintain smooth solid circulation. Moreover, the lower loop seal which has a wide gap requires more fluidization gas to achieve the same solid circulation rate. These results can be explained by results of minimum fluidization velocity in the lower loop seals. Consequently, if a loop seal has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts, more fluidization gases should be fed to ensure enough solid circulation rate and smooth solid circulation.

Effects of operating variables on solid circulation rate were measured and discussed using two-interconnected circulating fluidized bed system at ambient temperature and pressure. OCN 706-1100 particles were used as oxygen carrier. The measured solid circulation rates increased as the lower loop seal gas flow rates and the solid height in the fuel reactor increased. Suitable operating conditions to avoid choking of the air reactor were confirmed. Continuous long-term operations of steady-state solid circulation were also demonstrated at two different conditions based on the operating window.

기존 2탑 유동층 공정의 단점을 극복하기 위해 두 개의 기포유동층, 고체분사노즐, 상승관 및 고체재순환관으로 구성된 신개념 2탑 유동층 공정을 적용한 3 kW 매체순환식 가스연소기를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 3 kW급 매체순환식 가스연소기에서 고체순환속도에 미치는 고체분사노즐 유속, 유동화속도, 고체층 높이, 고체유입구의 단면적, 층 온도 등의 영향을 고찰하였다. 고체순환속도는 고체층 높이가 증가하고 고체유입구의 단면적이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 유동화속도와 온도의 영향은 크지 않았다. 장기연속운전 가능성을 검토하기 위해 50시간까지 고체순환 장기연속운전을 실증하였다. 두 유동층과 고체재순환관의 압력강하 값이 안정적으로 유지되어 고체순환이 원활하고 안정적으로 유지되는 것을 확인하였다.

To develop a pressurized chemical looping combustor, conceptual design of 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustor was performed by means of mass and energy balance calculations. Based on the conceptual design, reactivity of oxygen carrier and solid circulation rate were selected as key parameters. Sensitivity analysis of those key parameters were conducted with the change of oxygen carrier utilization percent from 5 to 50% and proper solid circulation rate and solid conversion rate to meet 98% of $CO_2$ selectivity were confirmed. Feasibility of 0.5 MWth pressurized chemical looping combustor was confirmed by experimental studies to find real solid circulation rate and $CO_2$ selectivity within the operating conditions based on the conceptual design. We could varied very wide range of solid circulation rate in two interconnected fluidized bed system. We also got enough $CO_2$ selectivity more than 98% in semi-continuous chemical looping combustor using OCN717 oxygen carrier. Consequently, feasibility of 0.5 MWth pressurized chemical looping combustor was confirmed.

점성유체 액체-고체 순환유동층에서 고체순환속도의 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 주액체유속, 2차액체의 유속, 유동입자의 크기, 액체의 점도 그리고 입자의 재순환을 위한 장치에서 입자 저장층의 높이가 입자의 순환속도에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 입자의 순환속도는 주액체의 유속, 2차액체의 유속, 액체의 점도 그리고 입자저장층의 높이가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라서는 감소하였다. 순환유동층의 상승관에서 유동입자의 상승속도는 주액체유속과 2차액체의 유속비($U_{L1}/U_{L2}$)와 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 상승관에서 입자의 미끄러짐속도 즉, 연속액상의 유속과 유동입자의 상승속도비($U_L/U_S$)는 연속 액상의 점도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나, 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 구한 고체 순환속도는 실험변수 및 무차원군의 함수들로 상관식을 얻을 수 있었다.

To select the operating condition of 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustion system, minimum fluidization velocity, transition velocity to fast fluidization and solid circulation rate were measured using mass produced new oxygen carrier (N016-R4) which produced by spray drying method for 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustion system. A minimum fluidization velocity decreased as the pressure increased. The measured transition velocity to fast fluidization was 2.0 m/s at ambient temperature and pressure. The measured solid circulation rate increased as the solid control valve opening increased. We could control the solid circulation rate from 26 to $93kg/m^2s$. Based on the measured minimum fluidization velocity and transition velocity to fast fluidization, we choose appropriate operating conditions and demonstrated continuous solid circulation at high pressure condition (5 bar-abs) up to 24 hours.
