Abstract

Coal gasification is a process of incomplete coal combustion to produce a syngas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It is one of methods to utilize coal cleanly because the process does not emits nitrogen oxides or sulfur oxides and particulate matters. In addition, chemicals can be produced using syngas. Coal gasification is classified as IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle), Plasma coal gasification and UCG (Underground Coal Gasification). Recently, WGS (Water Gas Shift) reactor and carbon capture system have been combined to gasifier to produce hydrogen from coal. In this study, the coal gasification and method of hydrogen production from syngas was summarized, and the hydrogen production from coal gasification project was investigated.

석탄가스화는 석탄을 불완전 연소하여 수소와 일산화탄소로 이루어진 합성가스를 생성하는 공정이다. 기 존 석탄 연소와 달리 질소 산화물이나 황 산화물이 배출되지 않고 미세먼지 발생량이 적어 석탄을 청정하게 이용할 수 있으며 합성가스를 통해 부가적인 화학물질을 생산할 수 있다. 석탄가스화는 합성가스 생산방식에 따라 석탄가스화복합화력발전(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, IGCC), 플라즈마 석탄가스화, 지하석탄 가스화(Underground Coal Gasification, UCG)로 분류된다. 최근에는 합성가스의 수소를 활용하기 위하여 일산화탄소를 수소로 전환하는 수성가스전환(Water Gas Shift, WGS) 반응기와 이산화탄소를 포집하는 설비를 결합하는 사례가 늘고 있다. 본 연구에서는 석탄가스화와 합성가스를 이용한 수소 생산 방법에 대하여 정리하였으며 현재 진행되고 있는 석탄가스화를 이용한 수소 생산 프로젝트를 조사하였다.
