There is growing concern over the effects of global warning. In response, the power generation sector must consider a wider range of systems and fuels to generate power. One of the classes of solid fuels that is being increasingly developed is biomass. However, one of the most serious problems that biomass plants face is severe corrosion. To mitigate the problem, various approaches have been proposed in terms of additive utilization. This study is based on the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chip and waste wood in a circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFBC boiler). The KCl concentration was reduced from 59.9 ppm to 3.9 ppm during the injection of ammonium sulfate, and NOx was reduced by 25.5 ppm from 30.6 ppm to 5.1 ppm. However, SOx increased by 110.2 ppm from 33.2 ppm to 143.4 ppm, and HCl increased by 71.5 ppm from 340.5 ppm to 412.0 ppm. Thus, we confirmed that the attitude of the superheater tube was reduced by 87 ~ 93%, and the injection of ammonium sulfate was effective in preventing high-temperature corrosion.

Biomass-fired power plants produce electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler. However, one of the most serious problems faced by these plants is severe corrosion. In biomass boilers, corrosion comes from burnt fuels containing alkali, chlorine, and other corrosive substances, causing boiler tube failures, leakages, and shorter lifetimes. To mitigate the problem, various approaches implying the use of additives have been proposed; for example, ammonium sulfate is added to convert the alkali chlorides (mainly KCl) into the less corrosive alkali sulfates. Among these approaches, the high temperature corrosion prevention technology based on ammonium sulfate has few power plants being applied to domestic power plants. This study presents the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chips and waste in a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The aim was to investigate the characteristics of pollution load in domestic biomass power plants with ammonium sulfate injection. By injecting the ammonium sulfate, the KCl content decreased from 68.9 to 5 ppm and the NOx were reduced by 18.5 ppm, but SO2 and HCl were increased by 93.3 and 68 ppm, respectively.

최근 환경오염을 방지하고 자원소비를 절감할 수 있는 ‘자원순환사회’로의 전환을 서둘러야 한다는 공감대가 빠르게 확산되고 있으며, ‘자원순환사회’란 폐기물의 소각, 매립을 최소화하고 재활용을 극대화함으로써 환경오염을 방지하고 자원과 에너지를 절약이 큰 이슈화 되고 있는 실정이다. 리튬 이차전지 생산과정 중 전구체 제조공침 기술에서 암모니아수를 사용하게 되며, 공정 중 발생하는 암모니수에 질소제거를 위한 스트리핑법을 이용하여 최종 황산암모늄 수용액이 부산물로 발생 하고 있다. 황산암모늄 폐수 처리시 T-N이 함유되어 고도처리를 해야 하므로 고가의 폐수처리 발생비용 발생 되고 있는 실정이다. 현재 구미산업공단 및 경북 산업단지 내의 매월 약 150톤의 폐황산암모늄이 발생되어 지고 있으며, 주로 고가의 폐수비용을 지불하며 고도처리 방식으로 처리되고 있다. 따라서. 황산암모늄 폐수 활용하여 폐수비용을 경감시키고 부가가치를 창출 할 수 있는 기술에 대하여 관심이 높아지고 있다. 구미산업공단 및 경북 산업단지내의 매월 약 150톤의 폐황산암모늄이 발생되어 지고 있으며, 주로 고가의 폐수비용을 지불하며 고도처리 방식으로 처리되고 있어 환경오염 및 비용이 문제가 점차 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전지소재 공정에서 발생되는 폐수를 이용하여 황산암모늄 정제기술 및 최적 결정화방법을 개발하였다. 이를 활용하여 폐수 발생량을 줄일 수 있으며, 처리비용을 절감시키는 효과를 통하여 자원순환화 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study has been carried out to investigate Electrostatic Precipitator`s(ESP) performance enhancement and removal efficiency of fine particle according to (NH_4)_2SO_4 injection rate. The following conclusions are derived from the these test results : 1)For plant condition cases, according to the variation of concentration agent [(NH_4)_2SO_4] - 10ppm, 20ppm, 30ppm, 40ppm - ESP`s collection efficiency was increased to 97.74%, 98.95%, 99.04%, 99.47%, when inlet dust loading was 2g/㎥. And when inlet dust loading was 3g/㎥, that was increased to 98.19%, 99.16%, 99.23%, 99.58%. 2)It is seen from this experiments that the increasing 30ppm concentration of (NH_4)_2SO_4 increase the collection efficiency and fine particle emission control.
