Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture and utilization, and particularly relates to a process method and system for directly capturing carbon dioxide from the air and converting and utilizing it. Background Art
[0002] Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a technology aimed at removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Its background stems from the continuous increase in global carbon emissions, and traditional emission reduction measures (such as afforestation) may not be sufficient to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, which is to limit the global temperature increase within 2°C. The DAC technology extracts CO2 directly from the air through chemical reactions or physical adsorption, and then sequesters it (such as underground storage) or re-uses it (such as producing fuels or materials). Currently, DAC faces challenges of high energy consumption, high cost, and technology scaling, but its potential is gradually emerging and is regarded as an important supplementary means to achieve net-zero emissions.
[0003] The captured carbon dioxide can be utilized through various channels, which can not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also create economic value. First, permanent storage is the most common method, such as injecting it into underground geological formations (such as abandoned oil fields or saline aquifers) or converting it into stable salts through mineralization for use in building materials such as concrete. Second, industrial uses include using carbon dioxide in carbonated beverage production, solution filling, or refrigerants. Although it cannot be permanently sequestered, it can recycle resources. Third, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Injecting CO2 into oil fields to increase oil production while partially sequestering CO2, but it is controversial due to the increased use of fossil fuels. Finally, converting it into value-added products has the greatest potential. Using renewable energy (such as wind energy, solar energy) to drive water-based technologies to combine CO2 with hydrogen in water and generate methanol, gasoline, diesel, or aviation fuel through catalytic reactions. For example, producing aviation fuel through the Fischer-Tropsch process or developing zero-carbon gasoline. This closed-loop model incorporates it into the energy and industrial systems to achieve carbon recycling. The advantage of fuel substitution is that it can directly replace traditional fossil fuels and is compatible with existing infrastructure, but it faces high consumption and costs. In the future, with the decline in the production cost of green hydrogen and technological optimization, the economic viability and scaling potential of carbon dioxide conversion will be significantly enhanced, becoming a key driver for carbon reduction goals.
[0004] Converting carbon dioxide into fuel is the core path to achieve a closed-loop of carbon elements. By converting the captured CO2 into recyclable substances, it reduces the dependence on fossil resources and lowers net emissions. Among them, the high demand and wide application of synthetic fuels become an important starting point. Using water-based technologies driven by renewable energy (such as wind energy, solar energy) to combine CO2 with hydrogen in water and generate methanol, gasoline, diesel, or aviation fuel through catalytic reactions. For example, producing aviation fuel through the Fischer-Tropsch process or developing zero-carbon gasoline. This closed-loop model incorporates it into the energy and industrial systems to achieve carbon recycling. The advantage of fuel substitution is that it can directly replace traditional fossil fuels and is compatible with existing infrastructure, but it faces high consumption and costs. In the future, with the decline in the production cost of green hydrogen and technological optimization, the economic viability and scaling potential of carbon dioxide conversion will be significantly enhanced, becoming a key driver for carbon reduction goals.
[0005] Currently, direct air carbon capture and carbon conversion and utilization belong to different industries and operate independently, without forming a full-chain industry with a synergistic and organically linked upstream and downstream. The world's leading DAC companies are engaged in environmental protection or climate improvement work, and their core task is to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases. For example, Climeworks is operating its flagship "Mammoth" in Norway, which is currently the world's largest DAC plant with a designed annual carbon capture capacity of 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Through cooperation with Carbfix, it mineralizes carbon dioxide into permanent underground basalt storage projects; Carbon Engineering is cooperating with 1PointFive to build the "Stratos" project in the Permian Basin of Texas, USA, aiming to start production in 2025 with an annual carbon capture volume of 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide, with part used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and part for geological storage; Heirloom is operating a limestone-based DAC project in California with an annual carbon capture volume of about 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide, and cooperating with CarbonCure to embed carbon dioxide into concrete for permanent storage. Carbon dioxide utilization belongs to the chemical energy industry, emphasizing resource reuse and economic value creation. Due to differences in direction technology, mode, and market demand for economic value creation between these two fields, natural barriers have formed. DAC companies are good at carbon capture and storage but lack professional capabilities in chemical conversion; while chemical energy companies focus on raw material processing and have limited interest in promoting large-scale carbon capture supply and technology docking. In addition, policy support and market incentives often target a single industry or technological innovation respectively, lacking a mechanism to integrate upstream and downstream. Although both have potential good effects in the carbon cycle, it is currently difficult to synthesize a complete chain industry, and there is an urgent need to break through the barriers through cross-industry cooperation and technology integration.

[0095] The present invention provides a process for directly capturing carbon dioxide from air and converting and utilizing it, which comprises the following steps:
[0096] a) Adsorbing the raw material gas by a carbon dioxide capture device, and heating and desorbing to obtain purified carbon dioxide gas;
[0097] b) Obtaining syngas, oxygen and product gas condensate water by electrocatalytic conversion of the purified carbon dioxide gas and electrolyte, and recycling the product gas condensate water for preparing the electrolyte;
[0098] c) Obtaining Fischer-Tropsch oil by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of the syngas, and obtaining an isomerized oil and gas mixture by hydrocracking and isomerization of the Fischer-Tropsch oil and hydrogen, wherein the heat energy of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and hydrocracking and isomerization provides the heat for heating and desorbing;
[0099] d) Separating the isomerized oil and gas mixture into combustible gas and upgraded oil products, obtaining sustainable aviation fuel and heavy oil products by rectifying the upgraded oil products, and performing an oxy-fuel combustion reaction of the combustible gas and the oxygen in step b) to provide the heat for heating and desorbing.
[0100] According to the process requirements, the feeding temperature of the above-mentioned air is 10-40°C, preferably 20°C; the humidity of the above-mentioned air is 5%RH-95%RH.
[0101] The carbon dioxide capture device adopts solid adsorption, liquid desorption, variable humidity adsorption or electrochemical solution to capture carbon dioxide in the air. Preferably, the above-mentioned carbon dioxide capture device adopts solid adsorption, preferably a resin-based carbon dioxide adsorbent. More preferably, the active functional groups of the aforementioned adsorbent are one or two of amine groups and quaternary ammonium groups, preferably amine groups. By chemically modifying and introducing amine groups, the adsorption capacity of the resin for carbon dioxide can be significantly enhanced, the capture rate can be accelerated, the capture time can be saved, and the capture efficiency can be improved.
[0102] Taking primary amine as an example, the chemical equation (1) for adsorbing and desorbing carbon dioxide is as follows:
[0103]
[0104] Preferably, the adsorption efficiency of the above-mentioned adsorbent is 0.20-0.30 kgCO2 / kgS / day, preferably 0.30 kgCO2 / kgS / day. In the above unit, S represents solid adsorbent, and kgCO2 / kgS / day represents the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by each kilogram of solid adsorbent per day.
[0105] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the above-mentioned heating and desorption is 80-120 °C, preferably 110 °C.
[0106] In step S2, the pressure for the electrocatalytic oxidation of the high-purity carbon dioxide gas is 5-8 bar, preferably 7 bar; the temperature is 30-50 °C, preferably 40 °C.
[0107] Preferably, the above-mentioned electrolyte is one or more of sulfuric acid solution, potassium sulfate solution, potassium nitrate solution and potassium hydroxide solution, preferably a sulfuric acid / potassium sulfate solution with a mass ratio of 5‰.
[0108] In a preferred embodiment, by controlling the electrolysis potential and selecting a specific electrolyte for regulation, synthesis gas with different ratios of carbon monoxide to hydrogen is obtained, providing the possibility of obtaining a variety of different products downstream.
[0109] Taking the sulfuric acid / potassium sulfate solution as an example, the chemical equation (2) for the electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide is as follows:
[0110]
[0111] Among them, the chemical equation (3) for the reduction reaction occurring at the cathode is as follows:
[0112] CO2 + 4e - +4H + → CO + H2 + H2O (3)
[0113] The chemical equation (4) for the oxidation reaction occurring at the anode is as follows:
[0114] 2H2O→O2+ 4e - +4H + (4)
[0115] Furthermore, the adjustable molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in the above-mentioned synthesis gas is 1-3:1, and can be 1:1, 2:1, 3:1.
[0116] In a preferred embodiment, the electrolytic water generated by the electrocatalytic conversion is recycled through water treatment operations and used to prepare the electrolyte, reducing the water consumption in the process.
[0117] In step S3, the pressure for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction of the synthesis gas is 20-40 bar, preferably 30 bar; the temperature is 200-400 °C, preferably 300 °C.
[0118] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure for introducing hydrogen is 70-90 bar, preferably 80 bar; the temperature is 20-30 °C, preferably 25 °C.
[0119] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the aforementioned hydrogen to the Fischer-Tropsch oil is 30 to 50:1. Sufficient hydrogen supply provides sufficient hydrogen atoms for hydrocracking and isomerization, promoting the cracking reaction of large hydrocarbon molecules. Additionally, the hydrogenation process can saturate unsaturated hydrocarbons, making the product have better stability and improving the low-temperature fluidity of the product.
[0120] The pressure of the above-mentioned hydrocracking and isomerization is 70 to 90 bar, preferably 80 bar; the temperature is 300 to 400 °C, preferably 350 °C.
[0121] In a specific embodiment, both the above-mentioned Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction and hydrocracking and isomerization are exothermic reactions, and the heat energy generated by the reactions can be used as the heat source for the carbon dioxide desorption process.
[0122] In step S4, the mass ratio of the above-mentioned oxygen to the combustible gas is 4 to 6:1. Oxygen acts as an oxidizer to improve the combustion efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions. Due to the increase in the oxygen content, the required amount of combustion-supporting air is reduced, thereby reducing the flue gas volume and the flue gas loss.
[0123] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the above-mentioned oxy-fuel combustion is 200 to 300 °C, preferably 250 °C. Heat is obtained through oxy-fuel combustion for use in desorbing carbon dioxide.
[0124] Furthermore, the above-mentioned rectification operation uses a rectification column, and the rectification column includes a condenser at the top of the column and a reboiler at the bottom of the column. Through the rectification operation, the upgraded oil products are separated according to the volatility differences of each component, enabling the light components (low-boiling components) in the mixture to be enriched at the top of the column and the heavy components (high-boiling components) to be enriched at the bottom of the column, thereby achieving separation.
[0125] Among them, the temperature of the reboiler at the bottom of the column is 300 to 400 °C, preferably 350 °C; the temperature of the condenser at the top of the column is 150 to 200 °C, preferably 200 °C. Further preferably, sustainable aviation fuel is enriched at the top of the column and obtained by flowing out through the condenser at the top of the column, and the heavy oil product is enriched at the bottom of the column and obtained by flowing out through the reboiler at the bottom of the column. Furthermore, the top of the column is composed of light hydrocarbon components, including C4-C16 hydrocarbon components, among which the C8-C16 hydrocarbon components account for 88% to 95%, including straight-chain alkanes, branched-chain alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, the C4-C8 hydrocarbon components account for 5% to 10%, and other light hydrocarbons or un-cracked long-chain alkanes account for 2% to 5%. The bottom of the column mainly consists of heavy oil products, including 98% to 100% of alkanes with more than C17 and other light hydrocarbon components.

The primary treatment includes anaerobic and aerobic treatments to degrade organic substances into inorganic substances to achieve the purpose of purifying water quality. The secondary treatment includes steps of activated carbon adsorption and multi-effect evaporation, further removing fine suspended solids and colloidal substances in water through high-efficiency filtration to ensure that the effluent water quality meets the reuse standard.

[0131] When a large amount of air enters the carbon dioxide capture device 12 during adsorption, the weakly basic groups on the surface of the solid amine come into full contact with carbon dioxide in the air and undergo a chemical reaction, thereby fixing a large amount of carbon dioxide on the surface of the solid amine adsorbent until saturation; when adsorption saturation occurs, high-concentration carbon dioxide is released by heating, thus completing a complete adsorption-desorption cycle.
[0132] More preferably, the above carbon dioxide capture device is selected from carbon dioxide capturers.
[0133] In a preferred embodiment, the carbon dioxide capture device 12 is further provided with a steam inlet 121 and a steam outlet 122.

[0137] In a preferred embodiment, the main function of the electrolysis module 2 is to electrochemically reduce the high-purity carbon dioxide obtained by the carbon dioxide capture module 1 to carbon monoxide.

[0155] To better understand the present invention, the following refers to specific embodiments. It should be noted that these embodiments are merely descriptive and do not limit the present invention in any way.
[0156] Example 1 - Module 1 - Carbon Dioxide Capture Module
[0157] Resin-based carbon dioxide adsorbents are selected, with a carbon dioxide capture efficiency of 40%, carbon dioxide in the air at 420 ppm, and an air circulation volume of 1 million cubic meters per day. The production efficiency of the adsorbent is 0.25 kgCO2 / kgS / day, so the required amount of adsorbent is 1200 kgS. Each carbon dioxide capturer is loaded with 400 kg of adsorbent, so 3 carbon dioxide capturers need to be set up. Since the adsorbent itself contains hydrophilic groups and has certain water absorption characteristics, moisture needs to be removed synchronously during carbon dioxide desorption. The molar ratio of carbon dioxide to moisture is between 0.70 and 0.90, and calculated at 0.80, the heat for desorbing moisture is 1.225 MJ / kgCO2, and the heat for carbon dioxide desorption remains unchanged at 1.70 MJ / kgCO2. According to the bulk density of the required 1200 kg of adsorbent and the air contactor with supporting dimensions, the total heat required for heating the adsorbent and the air contactor, and the heat of the purge gas (110°C water vapor, sensible heat and latent heat) is 8.625 MJ / kgCO2 (2.555 + 4.070 + 2.0). In addition, the electrical energy consumption required for the air circulation fan and vacuum device (0.080 bar) configured for the air contactor is 3 MJ / kgCO2 (1.0 + 2.0).
[0158] Therefore, the required thermal energy is 12.5 kgCO2 / h × (1.225 + 1.70 + 8.625) MJ / kgCO2 = 144.375 MJ / h = 40.10 kW; the required electrical energy is 12.5 kgCO2 / h × 3 MJ / kgCO2 = 37.5 MJ / h = 10.4 kW.
[0159] Among them, the theoretically recoverable heat is 12.5 kgCO2 / h × 8.625 MJ / kgCO2 = 107.8 MJ / h = 29.9 kW. In fact, for 12.5 kg / h of carbon dioxide and 20.1 kg / h of water cooling from 100°C to 25°C (generally, the inlet temperature of the cooling water is 20°C and the outlet is 30°C), the recoverable heat is 15.29 kW, and the cooling water demand is 3.25 tons per day. The sensible heat and latent heat released by the purge steam (from 110°C gas to 100°C liquid) is 7.67 kW, and the remaining 40.10 - 7.67 = 32.43 kW is provided by hot water at 110°C. The hot water cools from 110°C to 80°C, and the calculated hot water flow rate is 21 tons per day. Assuming that 1 / 5 - 1 / 3 of the high-temperature (80 - 100°C) heat of the solid adsorbent material and the carbon dioxide capturer after carbon dioxide desorption is taken away by the cooling water, that is, 1 / 4 of the theoretically recoverable heat of 29.9 kW = 7.475 kW is taken away by the cooling water, then the cooling water (20 - 30°C) demand is 1.58 tons per day. In this way, the total recoverable heat is 15.29 + 7.475 = 22.765 kW.
[0160] Example 2 Module 2 - Electrolysis Module
[0161] Carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide storage tank is boosted to 5 - 8 bar by the first air compressor (including condenser). Here, the gas is heated up after compression. Assuming the gas pressure rises to 7 bar, the heat released by the gas cooling is approximately 0.59 kW, and this part of energy recovery is ignored. The carbon dioxide gas enters the cathode chamber of the 2.1 electrolyzer. A reduction reaction occurs at the cathode to generate syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen), and the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide can be adjusted from 1 - 3:1; an oxidation reaction occurs at the anode to generate oxygen. Both the syngas and oxygen gas streams contain a large amount of water vapor and need to be treated by preliminary condensation (separation tanks AB) and deep cold drying (cold drying equipment AB). After treatment, the two gas streams enter their respective storage tanks (oxygen storage tank, carbon dioxide storage tank). The electrolyte is pumped out from the electrolyte storage tank and enters the electrolyzer. The flow rate of the electrolyte (5‰ sulfuric acid / potassium sulfate solution) is 4.5 tons per day. The temperature of the electrolyte rises to 85 °C after passing through the electrolyzer and then returns to the electrolyzer after being cooled by the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is cooled by cooling water (temperature 20 - 30 °C, flow rate 9.8 tons per day), and the heat exchange amount is 4.71 kW.
[0162] Example 3 Fischer - Tropsch Synthesis and Upgrading Module
[0163] The syngas obtained in Example 2 and the recycle gas flashed out after Fischer - Tropsch synthesis are compressed together and then enter the Fischer - Tropsch synthesizer for Fischer - Tropsch reaction. The heat released in the Fischer - Tropsch synthesizer is carried away by the heat absorption when hot water turns into water vapor. The synthesis products are complex in composition, including unreacted gas, light hydrocarbon components, jet fuel components, paraffin oil, and water, etc. The syngas passes through the third gas - liquid separation tank to remove the unreacted gas therein and enters the compressor inlet for recycle use. The separated liquid components enter the oil - water separator for chromatography. The separated water is discharged from the lower part, and after membrane purification and desalination treatment, it serves as one of the supplementary water sources for the electrolyte; the upper components are synthetic oil products, which are heated to 350 °C by a heater, and after the pressure is increased by a high - pressure pump, they enter the dewaxing hydrocracking and isomerization reactor. The purchased high - pressure hydrogen is depressurized to 80 bar and then enters the dewaxing hydrocracking and isomerization reactor. The resulting oil - gas mixture is cooled from 350 °C to 200 °C by the sixth cooling device. The cooled oil - gas mixture is separated into combustible gas and upgraded oil products with a higher SAF content after passing through the fourth gas - liquid separation tank. The combustible gas enters the burner and undergoes oxy - fuel combustion with a part of the oxygen from the oxygen storage tank, and the heat released is used as a heat source for the front - end carbon dioxide capture module. The oil products from the oil - water separator are heated to 200 °C by a heating device and then enter the distillation column (8 - 12 theoretical plates, Pall ring packing). The jet fuel components are produced at the top of the distillation column, and the heavy oil part is produced at the bottom. After cooling, they enter the product storage tanks respectively, waiting for detection and sales.
[0164] Example 4 - Public Works Module
[0165] The public works system includes two parts: heat recovery and water recovery. It is required that both energy and water reach a balanced state, and the insufficient heat is supplemented by electric heating or gas filtration.
[0166] Heat demand side: Steam inlet of the carbon dioxide capture device, 110°C, 280 kg / day, 7.67 kW;
[0167] Hot water for carbon dioxide desorption, 110°C, 21000 kg / day, 32.43 kW.
[0168] Heat supply side: Cooling steam of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device, 120°C, 530 kg / day, 13.79 kW;
[0169] Cooling water of the third gas-liquid separation tank, 25°C, 1380 kg / day, 6.63 kW;
[0170] Desorbed hot water, 25°C, 120 kg / day, 0.59 kW;
[0171] The seventh and eighth cooling devices of the distillation column, 25°C, 310 kg / day, 1.50 kW;
[0172] Cooling water of the combustion device, 80°C, 8400 kg / day, 13.2 kW;
[0173] Gas outlet of the fifth gas-liquid separation tank, 25°C, 380 kg / day, 1.89 kW.
[0174] Matching process: The 120°C steam heats 625 kg / day of desorbed hot water from 30°C to 110°C, and the 2.5 kW of heat is supplemented by an external heat source or electric heating. The remaining cooling water 9800 + 3250 + 1580 - 625 ≈ 14 tons of circulating water is cooled by the air cooler of the public works module.
[0175] Table 1 Heat Matching Table
[0176] Demand side / kW Supply side / kW Difference 7.67 13.79 +6.12 / 120℃ 32.43 10.61+13.2 -8.62 2.5
[0177] 8.62 - 6.12 = 2.5, and this part of the difference is supplemented by electric heating or a gas boiler. For example, an electric heating rod is installed at the steam inlet of the carbon dioxide capture device to provide 2.5 kW, or the natural gas supply volume in the combustion device is increased (0.25 Nm 3 ) to provide 2.5 kW of heat.
[0178] The electrolysis module replenishes 366 kg / day of demineralized water for electrolysis. The existing available water = 524 + 31 + 85 + 114 + 62 = 816 kg / day. After complete treatment, except for replenishing fresh demineralized water, the remaining amount is 816 - 366 = 450 kg / day.
