초록
고온 연로가스 정제를 위하여 ZnO-CuO 혼합탈황제를 제조하였으며, 탈황제들의 반응 특성을 조사하였다. ZnO와 CuO의 혼합비율에 다른 황화반응 속도는 CuO의 함량이 증가할수록 빨라졌다. ZnO와 CuO 비율을 달리한 각 탈황제의 재생특성을 조사하기 위하여 TPO실험을 수행한 결과, 400 °C 이상에서 CuSO4가 생성되고 700 °C이상에서 CuSO4가 열분해 됨을 알았다 600 °C에서 재생된 탈황제는 CuSO4에 의한 SO2 slippage 현상이 관찰되었으나 700 °C에서 재생할 경우에는 SO2 slippage가 관찰되지 않았다. 이로써 ZnO와 CuO의 혼합으로 CuO는 ZnO의 휘발을 억제하고 ZnO는 CuO에 대한 SO2 slippage를 최소화 시켰다.
ZnO-CuO mixed sorbent for desulfurization in hot gas cleaning process were prepared and investigation on their characteristics was performed in this study. The rate of sulfidation increased as the amount of copper oxide in the composite sorbent was raised. TPO experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of the regeneration of the sorbents with several different ratios of ZnO to CuO. Copper sulfate was formed at temperatures above 400 °C, while it was decomposed by pyrolysis above 700 °C. SO2 slipage due to CuSO4 was observed in the sorbent regenerated at temperatures above 600 °C. However, it was not observed when regenerated above 700 °C. It was confirmed in the ZnO-CuO mixed sorbent system that CuO suppressed the vaporization of ZnO on the on hand and ZnO minimized the SO2 slippage due to CuO on the other hand.
