고체 흡수제를 이용한 석탄합성가스 중의 황제거 기술은 습식 스크러빙 방식에 비해 고온에서 운전가능하므로 석탄가스화복합발전의 효율 향상을 가져올 수 있다. 고체탈황제는 서로 연결된 두 개의 유동층 반응기를 순환하면서 흡수탑에서는 합성가스 중의 $H_2S$로부터 황을 흡수하고 재생탑에서는 공기 중의 산소와 흡수된 황이 반응하여 $SO_2$를 배출하고 재생된다. 따라서 고체 황 흡수제는 유동층 공정에 응용가능한 물성과 함께 높은 황흡수능과 빠른 반응성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기존 개발된 고체 탈황제가 가졌던 소성시 수축 현상, 낮은 내마모도 등을 개선하기 위해 지지체 조성을 변경하여 개발한 분무성형 탈황제의 흡수 재생 온도에 따른 황흡수 특성 변화를 조사하였다. $H_2S$ 1 vol. %를 함유한 모사 합성가스를 이용하여 흡수온도 450, $500^{\circ}C$, 재생온도 500, 550, 600, $650^{\circ}C$에서 황 흡수능을 열중량분석기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 개발된 흡수제는 유동층 공정 적용에 적합한 훌륭한 물성(형상, 밀도, 강도 등)과 함께 $500^{\circ}C$ 흡수와 $650^{\circ}C$ 재생을 기준으로 10 wt% 이상의 높은 황흡수능을 보여주었다. 흡수온도 변화는 황 흡수능 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 재생온도가 $600^{\circ}C$ 이하인 경우 황흡수능이 5 wt% 이하로 크게 떨어져 재생온도를 $650^{\circ}C$ 이상 유지시키는 것이 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

Removal rates of hydrogen sulfide were investigated to known effects of several light sources with external and internal irradiation on the desulfurization using C. thiosulfatophilum. In the case of internal illumination system, optical-fiber photobioreactor was applied to increase the light availability. Furthermore, sunlight was used as the main light energy in the daytime and metal-halide lamp was applied as an additional light energy at night. Light energy of 99% was saved by the application of the LED's array in comparison with the incandescent light source. $H_2S$ removal rates at 5,000 lux in a 4-L photobioreactor were shown as 0.040, 0.138, 0.136, and 0.134 (${\mu}mol$ $H_2S/min$)/(mg protein/L), respectively, in the following order of light sources, when several light sources such as fluorescent, energy-saving, incandescent, halogen lamp, and filtered light at 460 nm were applied. Removal rate per unit cell concentration with the internal light diffused optical-fibers increased about 1 six times as much as that with the external light sources. Removal rate per unit cell concentration, using sunlight in the daytime and a metal-halide lamp at night, was 0.41 less than 0.869 (${\mu}mol$ $H_2S/min$)/(mg protein/L) using a 400 W metal-halide lamp day and night, since the automatic sunlight collection system can transmit the light intensity as only 10% of that with a metal-halide lamp.

To meet both increasing social demand for reduction of fine dust and the strengthened air pollutant emission standards, this paper indicated performance enhancement of FGD with structural constraints in 500 MW coal fired thermal power plant's. Through modifying internal facilities for flue gases to make swirl in the absorption tower, it made turbulence and increased the efficiency of material transfer, the reaction area and time with the limestone slurry. Therefore, it could reduce dust and enhance the performance of collecting the SO₂. As a result, desulfurization efficiency was improved from 91.61% to 98.43% and dust removal efficiency was improved from 77.4% to 87.08%. Emission density is 7.85 ppm of SO₂ and 4.67 mg/㎥ of dust. This is a level that satisfies emission limit of 25 ppm of SO₂ and 5 mg/㎥ of dust which are the air pollutant emission standards of 2023. The performance enhancement method of this study is expected to be effectively applied to other coal-fired power plants with similar constraints.

In this study, Seochon Thermal Power Plant No.1 for anthracite coal was tested to find the proper operation range of limestone slurry pH in the absorber tower which can be operated continuously in compliance with the Air Quality Preservation Act and Seocheon Thermal Power Division's internal regulation, sulfur dioxide average emission regulation. When operating the sulfur dioxide concentration [ppm] in the combustion gas flowing into the desulfurization absorption tower at 370, 400, 460 and 550 ppm while the main operating elements such as the flow rate of the combustion gas were fixed, the proper slurry pH Were 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 5.1, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to operate with the correlation equation, R_pH=0.004×C_in+2.93 derived using sulfur dioxide and the appropriate slurry pH.

For the purpose of energy consumption and green-house gas reduction from building, new insulation materials with improved thermal property have been developed and used. Among new insulation materials, mineral hydrate which compensates for the defects of existing materials is using as a prominent insulation material. The fabrication method of mineral hydrate is similar to that of ALC for building structure but mineral hydrate is only used for insulation. The raw materials that make up of mineral hydrate are cement, lime and anhydrite. Especially anhydrite is all dependant on imports. In this study, Desulfurization Gypsum(DG), by-product of oil plant, was used for replacing for imported anhydrite and waste recycling. DG substituted all of anhydrite and a part of lime. Mineral hydrate used DG had analogous thermal and physical properties, compared to existing mineral hydrate.

This study was focused on investigating the growth properties of a sulfate reducing bacterium Deslfovibrio sp. B5 which has metabolic ability for desulfurization of petroleum. The optimal temperature and pH for growth of Desulfovibiro sp. B5 were $38^{\circ}C$ and 6.6-7.0, respectively. Addition of 10% corn steep liquor to the Postgate medium C resulted in 0.79 g/L cell concentration, corresponding to a 1.8-fold increase in dry cell mass. Acetate concentrations above 10g/$\ell$ inhibited cell growth significantly. $H_2S$ generated from the sulfate reduction also inhibited the growth of Desulfovibrio sp. B5 at a concentration of 10mM total sulfide. But $N_2$ gassing relieved the growth inhibition by $H_2$S and thereby resulted in a 1.75-fold enhancement in specific growth and lactate consumption pattern of Desulfovibrio sp. B5.

ZZFCa sorbents for hot gas desulfurization in IGCC were prepared by adding calcium oxide to ZZF sorbent in order to improve its attrition resistance in this study. ASTM attrition test for the sorbent was performed at several different weight percentages of CaO to investigate the attrition characteristics of ZBFCa sorbents as a function of CaO content. Attrition index of ZZF without CaO was 28.3% and its collected attrition index was 10.8％. ZZFCa-3 containing 3 wt% CaO showed the lowest attrition index (AI=17.3％, CAI=8.8％) in the test. From the results of SEM morphologies and particle size distribution measurements, ZZFCa-3 maintained a fine shape and a desirable average particle size even after attrition test. In the experiments of sulfidation/regeneration for ZZFCa-3 sorbent concentration of hydrogen sulfide in coal gas was lowered from 10000 ppm to below 1 ppm. Sulfur removing capacity was about 28.8 g S/100 g sorbent. Neither formation of CaSO$_4$ was observed in XRD measurement nor SO$_2$ slippage was observed during sulfidation process.

In this study, we have analyzed the removal efficiencies of $SO_2$ and $SO_2/NO$ by the pulsed corona discharge process and investigated the effects of several process variables on those removal efficiencies systematically. The effects of process variables such as applied voltage, pulse frequency, residence time, and initial concentrations of reactants (NO, $SO_2$, $NH_3$, $H_2O$, and $O_2$) on the removal efficiency were analyzed. As the applied voltage, the pulse frequency or the residence time increases or as the $O_2$ or the $H_2O$ or the $NH_3$ concentration in the inlet feed gas stream increases, the $SO_2$ removal efficiencies and the simultaneous removal efficiencies of $SO_2/NO$ also increase. These experimental results can be used as a basis to design the pulsed corona discharge process to remove $NO_x$ and $SO_x$.

석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC) 시스템에서 합성가스 중에 포함된 황화수소($H_2S$)는 후단의 가스 터빈과 같은 장치의 부식을 방지하고, 합성가스를 이용하는 연료전지 등의 연계 공정에서 요구하는 수준에 맞추어 정제되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 $H_2S$ 정제공정 추가에 따른 IGCC 시스템의 효율저하를 최소화하기 위하여 고온고압에서 사용가능한 탈황제를 분무건조법을 이용하여 제조하고 제조된 탈황제에 대해 물성 및 황 흡수능 시험을 실시하였다. 형상, 내마모도, 평균입자크기, 충진밀도와 함께 제조된 탈황제가 적용되는 유동층 공정에 적합한 강도를 보유하는지 여부를 미국표준시험방법에 의하여 측정하였다. 황 흡수능은 열중량분석기를 반응기로 사용하여 모사 합성 가스 분위기에서 측정하였다. 분무건조 성형된 탈황제의 일부가 구형이 아닌 타원형 또는 도넛 형태를 나타내고 있어 형상 개선을 위한 제조방법 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 제조된 탈황제는 기공도가 65% 이상으로 macropore가 기공부피의 대부분을, mesopore가 비표면적의 대부분을 제공하고 있었다. 소성온도를 650 $^{\circ}C$에서 750 $^{\circ}C$로 증가시킴에 따라 대체로 강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 열중량분석기로 측정된 황 흡수능은 약 10 wt%로 나타났다. 제조된 탈황제 중 일부는 유동층 공정에 적합한 물성을 보유하고 있었으며 반응성 또한 기존에 개발된 탈황제에 버금가는 성능을 나타내어 향후 공정 적용이 가능할 것으로 분석되었다.

In developing an optimum steelmaking process, the purity of the product, environmental impact, capability and cost of the process should be considered. Desulfurization of molten iron is conducted during preliminary treatment stage before converter operation. Although fluorite is added as a desulfurizing agent in CaO and $CaCO_3$ based agents, the concentration of fluorine in slag is strictly regulated. In order to develop desulfurizing agent without fluorine, CaO was mixed with Al dross and ladle slag containing alumina. The characteristics and desulfurizing capacity of the CaO based desulfurizing agent thus prepared were tested by varying temperature of Kanvara Reactor. Our results showed that the desulfurizing capacity of the samples prepared in this work was found to be similar to that of the traditional desulfurizing agents with fluorine.
