Abstract

In the present work, a reaction of sulfur removal and simulation of desulfurization based on the grain model and two-phase theory were studied using natural manganese ore (NMO) as a sorbent in a continuous fluidized bed reactor. The effect of desulfurization was investigated through the grain model considered the change of pore structure as a function of desulfurization time, particle size of NMO, and diffusion velocity of $SO_2$ in the pores. Among these parameters, the diffusion of $SO_2$ in the pores of NMO was the most important factor. Moreover, the reaction of sulfur removal and desulfurization in a continuous fluidized bed reactor using NMO as a sorbent could be well predict through the grain model and two-phase theory, respectively.

연속식 유동층 반응기에서 흡착제인 천연망간광석을 이용한 탈황반응과, grain model과 two-phase 이론에 근거한 탈황 모사를 연구하였다. 입자 내의 기공 구조변화를 고려한 grain model을 통하여 탈황 반응시간, 천연망간광석의 입자 크기, 기공 내에서 $SO_2$의 확산속도에 대한 영향을 고찰한 결과, 입자의 기공 내에서 $SO_2$ 가스 확산이 탈황 반응의 가장 중요한 요소로 나타났다. 또한, 연속식 유동층 반응기에서 흡착제인 천연망간광석을 이용한 탈황반응 실험결과는 grain model과 two-phase 이론과 잘 일치하였으며, 탈황 결과를 잘 예측할 수 있었다.
