Description

Composition for removing carbon dioxide generated during combustion

The present invention relates to fuels used for the operation of heaters (boilers, warmers, etc.) and other devices (incinerators, generators, etc.), that is, oils (light oil, kerosene, LPG, bunker seed oil, etc.) and solid fuels (brown coal, lump coal, shell coal, Coal briquettes, wood, solidified fuel, palm fuel, etc.) relates to a composition for removing carbon dioxide generated during combustion to remove the carbon dioxide gas in the waste gas discharged to the flue and to prevent air pollution.

In recent years, the amount of CO ₂ gas released into the atmosphere is rapidly increasing due to the explosive increase in population, the development of various industries including the automobile industry, and human activities using fossil fuel as the main fuel. _{2 The} gases, together with CH ₄ , N ₂ O and carbon halides, released by water vapor and other human activities, stagnate in the upper atmosphere, causing a greenhouse effect, which increases the temperature of the seawater and thus creates unpredictable climate change. Will result.

In addition, in the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum, a significant amount of nitrogen oxides (NO _X ) and sulfur oxides (SO _X ) are generated in addition to the CO ₂ gas that causes the greenhouse effect. These are photochemical smog such as acid rain and ozone. It causes problems and adversely affects human and natural ecosystems.

As such, the gas causing the climate change has various emission paths, and the CO ₂ gas emitted through the combustion of fossil fuels contains about 90wt% of carbon based on the liquid fuel although the carbon content in each fuel is different. Therefore, CO ₂ gas generated in the combustion process of fossil fuel is discharged in an amount corresponding to 3.3 times {(44/12) × 0.9} of the used fuel, considering the stoichiometric ratio of the combustion reaction. As shown, it accounts for 58% of the total climate change-causing gas.

GHG Emissions by Source

Source	Contribution
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.)	58%
Industry (cement, etc.)	4%
Agriculture (metabolism, farmland, livestock, etc.)	18%
Forestry (logging, land use change, etc.)	17%
Waste (garbage, sewage, landfill, etc.)	3%
Sum	100%

Accordingly, the countermeasure against climate change-inducing gas is centered on the reduction of CO ₂ gas emitted through the combustion of fossil fuel.

As climate change caused by various kinds of exhaust gas such as CO ₂ is raised as a major issue that is expected to have the greatest impact on humankind among the global environmental problems, the recent international Countermeasures are being prepared.

As part of this international response, the third meeting of the governing bodies in Kyoto in December 1997, compared with the EU in 2008-2012, was adopted at the third meeting of the Kyoto Parties in December 1997, since the climate change convention was adopted at the Rio UN Environmental Development Conference in June 1992. A total of 38 countries reduced 5.2%, including an 8% reduction in the United States, 7% in the United States, and 6% in Japan, and more than 130 developing countries adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which calls for voluntary reductions. In other words, a flexible regime has been established that allows trade in emissions rights between countries.

On the other hand, if the country somewhat-free industrial structure, steel, petrochemical, energy, emissions growth rate of the past 10 years CO ₂ gas is showing the world first place with 10% per year, and there is no significant change in emissions of CO ₂ gas 2010 1990 It is expected to be 3.3 times that of the year.

In particular, considering that European countries with weak economic bases are subject to mandatory reductions, the OECD, even though the signing of the Convention at the Fourth General Assembly in Buenos Aires in November 1998, did not accept the pressure of the international community. It's a desperate situation.

In the case of such acceded to the Convention by the pressure of the international community, if the 1990 emissions level in CO ₂ emissions conceal goal setting, of 2010, the CO ₂ must be made 70% reduction of gas emissions, so be prepared a long-term adequate countermeasures Failure to do so is likely to face a serious economic crisis beyond the IMF system.

On the other hand, to which can reduce the emission of CO ₂ gas technique is largely separated by a CO ₂ gas emission suppression techniques and CO ₂ gas treatment technology, CO ₂ gas emission suppression is applicable to alternative energy technologies, CO ₂ gas treatment technology Is divided into separate recovery practical technology and practical resource recycling technology.

An active way to curb CO ₂ emissions is to develop alternative energy sources without burning fossil fuels using solar, tidal, hydro, geothermal, biomass, nuclear fission and fusion technologies. To improve technology, increase power generation efficiency, and develop technology to separate, recover and convert CO ₂ gas.

On the other hand, the adsorption, separation absorbed, just a discharged CO ₂ gas technology, natural world, such as seen with the current technological level of scale and often have a negative opinion on the economic side, the exhaust CO ₂ gas forest and marine plankton, deep absorption The technique of immobilization in the inside is likely to cause a second environmental destruction, and the technique of artificially immobilizing the emitted CO ₂ gas by using a chemical catalyst, a biological immobilization, an electrochemical immobilization, a photochemical immobilization, and a photocatalyst is a perfect technique. The implementation is not established.

According to de moto Toshio frondosa (Dmoto Toshitake), collected and stored deep-sea technology, chemical recovery and utilization technology, biological recovery and effective utilization technique, a large-scale recording technique of CO ₂ gas is being evaluated as a global center technology.

In Korea, absorption method, adsorption method, and membrane separation technology have been studied to separate the discharged CO ₂ gas, and basic research has been carried out based on catalytic reduction method and chemical conversion technology. Recently, although gradually researched, a method using an electron beam has not been developed yet.

The method of immobilizing and treating CO ₂ gas is also known, and the immobilization technology is largely proceeded by biological treatment and chemical treatment.

Electrolysis of CO ₂ gas or the use of catalysts to produce methane, methanol, etc. requires additional separation and recovery processes to maintain the purity of CO ₂ when treating flue gas. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not suitable for use in the actual process.

In addition, the process of biologically treating CO ₂ gas has the problem that the reaction rate is very slow and there is a high possibility of causing another environmental problem such as the temperature rise of sea water. Furthermore, these methods are still laboratory-scale processes in large buildings or industrial facilities. There is a problem in that it is not suitable for treating CO ₂ gas emitted from a large process such as a boiler, a large incineration plant.

The present invention is to solve the above problems,

In addition, the greenhouse effect is further reduced by more effectively removing or reducing CO2 gas contained in flue gas from large buildings, industrial boilers, or incineration facilities that use fossil fuel as the main fuel. The purpose is to contribute to the prevention of warming.

Specific solution means for achieving the above object,

The above object is characterized by comprising "adding and mixing 0.25% of sodium hydroxide as a reaction agent and 2.25% of magnesium oxide as a reaction delay agent in 97.50% of calcium hydroxide aqueous solution prepared by dissolving water in quicklime of calcium oxide." It can be achieved.

Application of the present invention improves the quality of life because the problem of air pollution due to the exhaust gas generated during combustion is significantly improved, improve the public's awareness of the environment according to the development of clean technology, the use of oil Can fundamentally change the negative perception of boiler or incinerator installations,

In particular, by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere there is an effect that contributes to the prevention of global warming due to the greenhouse effect.

The present invention removes carbon dioxide generated during combustion, comprising 97.50% of calcium hydroxide aqueous solution prepared by dissolving water in quicklime, which is calcium oxide, by adding 0.25% of sodium hydroxide as a reaction accelerator and 2.25% of magnesium oxide as a reaction retardant. Disclosed are compositions for the following.

Hereinafter will be described in detail with respect to the composition for removing the carbon dioxide generated during the combustion of the present invention.

Specific composition of the composition for removing the carbon dioxide generated during combustion of the present invention is added to 97.50% of calcium hydroxide aqueous solution prepared by dissolving water in calcium oxide quicklime, 0.25% of sodium hydroxide as a reaction agent and 2.25% of magnesium oxide as a reaction retardant. It is made by mixing.

In more detail below,

The present invention relates to fuels used for the operation of heaters (boilers, warmers, etc.) and other devices (incinerators, generators, etc.), that is, oils (light oil, kerosene, LPG) and solid fuels (brown coal, coal coal, coal briquettes, wood) To provide a composition for effectively removing the carbon dioxide contained in the waste gas which is combusted and discharged to the flue, the reaction is too fast with 0.25% sodium hydroxide solution 97.50% to remove carbon dioxide through various tests. In order to solve the problem caused by the occurrence of the reaction delaying agent, magnesium oxide 2.25% is included.

In other words, the calcium hydroxide aqueous solution reacts rapidly with carbon dioxide and removes carbon dioxide while controlling the reaction rate by adding magnesium oxide, a reaction retardant, to solve the economic inefficiency caused by the rapid progress of the sodium hydroxide transient reaction. There is an advantage that can improve the purification effect.

Chemical reaction with carbon dioxide is performed by the calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide to generate insoluble calcium carbonate particles, thereby removing carbon dioxide. The chemical reaction is as follows.

Ca (OH) ₂ + CO ₂ → CaCO ₃ + H ₂ O

In other words, calcium ions react with carbon dioxide to form insoluble calcium carbonate, and the reaction delay phenomenon is caused simultaneously by the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the reaction continuity and the reaction delay phenomenon by the magnesium oxide (MgO) as the reaction delayer. It keeps reacting.
