CKD 추출액내 KCl 제거를 위한 이온교환수지 조업조건 최적화 연구

A study on the optimization of Ion Exchange Resin operating conditions for removal of KCl from CKD extract

CKD 추출액은 시멘트공정에서 발생한 폐기물인 CKD를 시멘트 원료로 재사용하기 위해 공정 방해물질로 작용하는 KCl을 추출한 폐수이며, 폐수처리시설 증설 등의 문제로 추출액 무방류 및 이를 재이용하고자 하였다. 이온교환법을 적용하여 KCl을 제거한 결과, 이온교환 후 추출액의 pH는 12.7에서 pH 2 미만으로 감소하였으며 양이온교환수지의 H⁺가 이온교환을 거쳐 추출액에 용해되었음을 확인하였다. 이온교환의 선택성에 의해 Ca²⁺, K⁺ 순서로 제거되었으며, K⁺ 이온을 제거하기 위해 접촉시간의 증가가 필요함을 판단하였다. 이온교환수지와 직접접촉시간이 약 6배 높은 접촉시간을 갖는 회분식장치에서 연속흐름식장치 대비 4배 높은 K⁺ 제거 효율을, 7배 높은 Cl⁻ 제거 효율을 확인하였다. 양이온교환수지의 H⁺가 음이온교환수지의 OH⁻ 대비 1.2배 빠른 교환속도를 가짐을 추출액 pH 변화를 통해 확인하였다.

The CKD extract is wastewater from which KCl in CKD has been removed to reuse CKD as a cement raw material, and tried to reuse no extracts due to problems such as wastewater treatment facility expansion. As a result of removing KCl by the ion exchange method, the pH of the extract after ion exchange decreased from 12.7 to less than pH 2, and it was confirmed that H⁺ of the cation exchange resin was dissolved in the extract through ion exchange. In addition, the selectivity of the ion exchange was removed in the order of Ca²⁺, K⁺, it was determined that the increase in the contact time to remove the K⁺ ions. The batch system had a contact time of 6 times or more, compared to the continuous system, and showed 4 times of K⁺ removal efficiency and 7 times of Cl⁻ removal efficiency. It was showed by analyzing the pH of the extract that more H⁺ of the cation exchange resin was extracted than OH⁻ of anion exchange resin as the pH of the extract was changed.
