분리막 및 다양한 CO2 포집공정들의 연구에 있어, 경제성 평가는 각 공정들을 비교 분석하며 개발된 기술의 경제적 타당성을 검토하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 분리막 기반의 CO2 포집공정에 대한 경제성 분석을 수행하여 그 결과를 살펴보았다. 분리막 공정의 전산모사와 최적화를 위하여 분리막 모델링 및 Aspen HYSYS®를 활용하였으며, 최적화 결과를 바탕으로 CAPEX 및 OPEX를 제시하여 분리막 공정의 경제성 평가를 진행하였다.
PEBAX는 높은 CO2 선택도로 인하여 CO2 포집을 위한 분리막 연구에 널리 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Poly(ether block amides) (PEBAX) 2533을 에탄올에 용해, support를 PAN(Polyacrylonitrile), PSf(Polysulfone)로 사용하여 복합평 막을 제조하였다. 투과선택도를 향상시키기 위하여 Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) 를 첨가하여 막을 제조한 후 CO2, 와 N2 기체에 대한 투과도와 선택도를 평가 하였다. PEG도입에 의한 PEBAX 복합막 제조는 PEBAX가 가지고 있는 투과도 한계를 향상 시킬 수 있다.
기체분리막에 널리 사용되는 소재인 poly(ether-b-amide)는 고분자 사슬 내 아마이드기 간의 수소결합으로 인해 crystallinity가 높아 투과도가 낮은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 수소결합과 그에 따른 crystallinity를 줄여 투과도를 향상시키려 한다. 이를 위해 poly(ether-b-amide)의 아마이드기를 N-alkoxymethyl로 치환하여 수소결합을 방해한다. 개질된 poly(ether-b-amide)로 재조된 기체분리막의 crystallinity는 감소하고, 투과도는 향상되길 기대한다. 현재 N-methoxymethyl group이 치환된 정도에 따른 poly(ether-b-amide)들의 기체 투과특성을 평가 중이다.
The carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology from industrial flue-gas has been an important environmental issue in these days. However, membrane process has a number of breakthrough-point to commercialization in scale-up. In this work, process optimization for high purity and high CO2 recovery with lower the capture cost has been investigated. Lab-made membrane pilot process using real flue gas has been also set up to derive industrial factor.
분리막 공정은 압력장치에 사용되는 전기 사용량이 많아 이를 줄이기 위한 다양한 공정 옵션이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분리막 공정에서 막 모듈에 sweeping 기체를 permeate에 불어넣어 모듈의 구동력을 증가시키는 방법으로, 특별한 공정 장치 추가 없이도, 효율적인 CO2 분리가 되는 공정을 연구하였다. 분리막 공정은 주요 장치비용(분리막, 압축기 등)과 운영비용(전기, 스팀)을 평가 하였다. MATLABⓇ에서 분리막 모델을 개발하었으며, 분리막 공정에 가능한 모 든 구조들을 초구조로 경제성 평가 모델을 기준으로 평가되었다. 본 연구는 2014년도 정부(미래창조과학부)의 재원으로 (재)한국이산화탄소포집 및 처리연구개발센터의 지원을 받아 수행된 연구임(2014M1A8A1049305).
Membrane is a relatively new industrial gas separation technology and has been studied as an alternative CO2 capture technologies to amine absorption. Membrane processes have a merit such as low energy use, small footprint, no by-products formation, and simple operating condition. When applied to flue gas CO2 capture, low CO2 concentration and normal pressure of flue gas stream places a practical limits on the membrane operation. The up-to-date membranes should allow module performance to rise to levels practical for fossil-fuel power station use. In this talk, membrane module is being evaluated for flue gas treatment. Membrane processes using several membranes, which are now being studied under the R&D projects granted by KCRC, are investigated to capture CO2 from the simulated gas.
In this study, factors analysis is performed for reducing friction in elevation motion of a large television stand over 50-inch. The first is a pipe type cross-section control for accurate position control of the piston rod. Here it was compared with the pipe type and labyrinth type orifice cross-section. The second study is for specification decision and volume compensation experiment as an apparatus for compensating of the volume of the cylinder is compressed as the volume of piston rod. Consequently, in the orifice cross section study between pipe type and labyrinth type through CAE and experimental consideration, cross section of labyrinth type orifice is preferred for reducing of friction. The result of total consideration in stability problem and performance of volume compensation for specification decision and volume compensation experiment is determined the final speculation of hollow rod φ8×φ4 and riveting system.

The first is a pipe type cross-section control for accurate position control of the piston rod. Here, it was compared with the pipe type and labyrinth type orifice cross-section. The second study attempted to reduce the frictional force the gas seal lip technology. As the result of the first study, in the orifice cross section study between pipe type and labyrinth type through CAE and experimental consideration, cross section of labyrinth type orifice is preferred for reducing of friction. As the result of the second study, in the gas seal lip technology, the outer-inner diameter of φ20×φ8 in the test result of hollow rod is revealed more proper if the weight of 50 inch television assumed as 30kgf.
Tri-isotropic (TRISO) coatings on zirconia surrogate beads are deposited using a fluidized-bed vapor deposition (FB-CVD) method. The silicon carbide layer is particularly important among the coated layers because it acts as a miniature pressure vessel and a diffusion barrier to gaseous and metallic fission products in the TRISO-coated particles. In this study, we obtain a nearly stoichiometric composition in the SiC layer coated at 1400oC, 1500oC, and 1400oC with 20 vol.% methyltrichlorosilane (MTS), However, the composition of the SiC layer coated at 1300-1350oC shows a difference from the stoichiometric ratio (1:1). The density decreases remarkably with decreasing SiC deposition temperature because of the nanosized pores. The high density of the SiC layer (≥ 3.19 g/cm2) easily obtained at 1500oC and 1400oC with 20 vol.% MTS did not change at an annealing temperature of 1900°C, simulating the reactor operating temperature. The evaluation of the mechanical properties is limited because of the inaccurate values of hardness and Young’s modulus measured by the nano-indentation method.
