Abstract

The effects of various system parameter on the absorption of sulfur dioxide into the absorbent liquid were investigated in a circulatory porous polymer membrane contactor. A feed gas and an absorbent used in the study were the gas mixture of air and $SO_2$ and the $Na_2SO_3$ aqueous solution, respectively. The separation of sulfur dioxide was measured in terms of the concentration of $Na_2SO_3$ absorbent, the concentration of sulfur dioxide, the feed flow rate, the absorbent velocity and the different membrane material. As the concentration of absorbent increased from 0.05 to 0.2 M, the removal efficiency increased from 74 to 100%. By increasing the concentration of sulfur dioxide from 700 to 2,500 ppm, the removal efficiency decreased from 100 to 75%. Also as the absorbent velocity increased from 2.5 to 15 mL/min, the removal efficiency increased from 85 to 100%. As the porosity of the membrane increased, the removal efficiency increased.

이산화황 흡수 수용액이 다공성 분리막 접촉기를 연속적으로 순환하는 시스템에서 다양한 운전변수에 따른 이산화황의 분리 효율을 고찰하였다. 공급 기체로는 이산화황/공기 혼합 기체를 사용하였으며 흡수제로는 $Na_2SO_3$ 수용액을 사용하였다. 운전 변수들인 흡수제 농도와 공급 기체 내의 이산화황 농도, 분리막 재질, 흡수제 유속 변화에 따른 분리 효율에 대한 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 흡수제의 농도 0.05 M에서 0.2 M로 증가할수록 이산화황 제거 효율은 74%에서 100%로 증가하였다. 이산화황 농도가 700 ppm에서 2,500 ppm으로 증가할수록 제거 효율은 100%에서 75%로 감소하였다. 또한 흡수제의 유속이 2.5 mL/min에서 15 mL/min으로 증가할수록 제거 효율은 85%에서 100%로 증가하였고, 분리막은 기공률이 클수록 제거 효율이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
