Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of gas separation and purification and provides an apparatus of purifying CO2 in natural gas through a low-temperature pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology and a method thereof. In the invention, by means of cooling capacity generated in liquefaction of natural gas, a low-temperature environment is formed to control the temperature within the range of -70 - 25 DEG C, and meanwhile, through change of pressure within the range of 0-10 MPa, an absorption process of CO2 at a low temperature with the solid absorbent is achieved. By means of increase of the temperature and reduction of the pressure of the low-temperature PSA natural gas purifying system, the CO2 in the solid absorbent is desorbed, thereby regenerating the absorbent and finally achieving the object of continuously purifying the natural gas and regenerating the absorbent. The solid absorbent can be regenerated through increase of temperature and change of pressure, thereby recycling the solid absorbent and further reducing the use of the absorbent. The apparatus is simple and available in operation process. The process can complete purification of natural gas and achieve adsorption, enrichment and capture of CO2, and also has significant practical significance in environment protection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas separation and purification, and in particular relates to a low-temperature pressure swing adsorption process for purifying CO in natural gas. 2 device and method thereof. Background technique [0002] Natural gas has been widely used due to its cleanness and pollution-free, high safety and high energy density, and it has been paid more and more attention by various countries in the field of energy utilization. Natural gas is easy to transport by pipeline, so the natural gas from oil and gas fields in remote areas can be transported to densely populated cities through the pipeline network to solve the fuel problem in cities. For longer-distance transportation, in recent years, natural gas tends to be liquefied first, and then transported to factories or gasification stations through LNG (liquefied natural gas) ships and low-temperature tankers. [0003] Of course, no matter what kind of transportati...
