황토를 지지체로 사용한 중온건식 아연계 탈황제의 반응특성 연구 = A Study on the Reactivity of Zinc-based Sorbents Using Yellow Earth as Support at Middle Temperatures

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 황토를 지지체로 사용한 고온연료가스 정제용 아연계 탈황제의 성능시험을 수행하였다. 산화아연과 황토를 75：25의 비율로 혼합하여 탈황제를 제조하였고 황화/재생 반응속도, 황수용능력, 내마모성을 조사하였다. 탈황 및 재생반응실험은 중온(황화/재생 ： 48$0^{\circ}C$/58$0^{\circ}C$)에서 수행되었다. 황토를 지지체로 사용한 아연계 탈황제는 장기사이클실험중에 나타나는 급속한 비활성화가 억제되었으며 반응속도, 황수용능력, 내구성 그리고 내마모성이 개선되었다. 황수용능력은 약 19gS/100g sorbent정도로 10 cycle 까지 유지되었으며, 내마모도는 AI=19.1%정도였다. 아연계 탈황제의 성능개선은 황토에 함유된 금속산 화물(Fe$_2$O$_3$, $Na_2$O, MnO$_2$)의 영향으로 판단된다. 이들 결과로부터 황토를 지지체로 사용하여 중온건식 아연계 탈황제의 특성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The peformence tests of zinc-based desulfurization sorbents using the yellow earth as support for the hot gas clean up were carried out. The zinc-based sorbent with 25 wt％ yellow earth was prepared, and their properties such as the reaction rate, the sulfur capacity and the attrition resistance, were investigated. The reactivity tests for hot gas desulfurization was performed at middle temperatures (sulfidation/regeneration：480$^{\circ}C$/580$^{\circ}C$). During multi-cyclic desulfurization, the deactivation of zinc-based sorbent was decreased by the addition of yellow earth, and their efficiency was enhanced. The ZnO/yellow earth sorbent had high reactivity, good regenerability, long-term durability (about 19 gS/100 g sorbent for 10-cycles) and high attrition resistance (AI=19.1％). It was concluded that the peroperties of zinc-based sorbent were improved by metal oxides (Fe$_2$O$_3$, Na$_2$O, MnO$_2$, etc) in the yellow earth. From these results, it was confirmed that the desulfurization properties of zinc-based sorbents at middle temperatures could be improved by the yellow earth using as support.
