Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of gas purification and provides a decarbonization solution and a decarbonization method due to the fact that CO2 content in recycle gas needs to be lowered when a novel high selective catalyst is adopted for synthesizing ethylene oxide/glycol. The solution is composed of potassium carbonate and an inorganic activating agent. Two-section absorption process of appropriate flow distribution and temperature control is adopted. Desorbing of the solution adopts novel transformation regeneration energy-saving technology, differential pressure is formed between two towers of a pressurization regeneration tower and a normal pressure regeneration tower by using a desorbing effect of an adjustable supersonic speed steam ejector on the normal pressure regeneration tower, mixed gas containing a large amount of water vapour is desorbed for gas stripping and regeneration for the pressurized regeneration tower. By means of the method, residue CO2 in the recycle gas after decarbonization is greatly reduced, and simultaneously solution reclaimed heat consumption is reduced by more than 30% compared with conventional potassium carbonate decarbonization process.
