Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of CO2 capture technology, and in particular to a system and method for capturing carbon dioxide from cement kiln flue gas based on high-temperature flue gas waste heat regeneration technology. Background Art

[0002] CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is an important path to achieving large-scale, low-carbon energy utilization. Post-combustion carbon capture (CCUS) is considered the most promising carbon capture technology for large-scale industrial application due to its wide range of applications and low retrofit costs. Currently, post-combustion carbon capture technology primarily relies on chemical absorption. In an absorption tower, an absorbent chemically reacts with CO2 in flue gas, absorbing the CO2. Subsequently, in a desorption tower, an external heat source, typically high-temperature steam, drives a reverse reaction, desorbing the CO2. Patent ZL20150358538.4 proposes a process for capturing CO2 from flue gas based on wet regeneration technology. This process utilizes functionalized ion exchange resin membranes to achieve low-cost adsorption and separation of high-purity CO2. Patent CN202410999222.2 discloses a system and method for capturing CO2 using waste heat from steam turbine exhaust. This system reduces energy consumption for CO2 capture and reduces the operating load of the power plant's circulating cooling system.

[0003] However, the conventional desorption mechanism, which uses an external heat source, steam, to drive the desorption process, suffers from high capture energy consumption and operating costs, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial application. Cement kiln flue gas is also hot (250-400°C), and its waste heat is not fully utilized, resulting in a waste of thermal resources. Therefore, the waste heat from the high-temperature flue gas of cement kilns can be used to drive the regeneration of CO2, achieving efficient, energy-saving, and low-cost CO2 capture. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention designs a system and method for capturing carbon dioxide from cement kiln flue gas based on high-temperature flue gas waste heat regeneration technology, which can not only reduce the regeneration energy consumption and operating costs of the capture system, but also solve the problem of excessively high flue gas temperature in cement kilns.

[0006] Preferably, the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas in the high-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery reboiler is 250-400°C.

[0007] Preferably, the high-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery reboiler is a shell and tube heat exchanger or a plate heat exchanger.

[0008] Preferably, the cold flue gas from the cement kiln after heat exchange and cooling in the high-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery reboiler is further cooled by heat exchange with cooling water in the pretreatment tower.

[0009] Based on the above system, a method for capturing carbon dioxide from cement kiln flue gas based on high-temperature flue gas waste heat regeneration technology is provided, and the method steps are as follows: S1. The high-temperature flue gas from the cement kiln is cooled by heat exchange in the high-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery reboiler to become cold flue gas from the cement kiln. The cold flue gas is further cooled by heat exchange with the cooling water in the pretreatment tower and then enters the absorption tower through the induced draft fan. The decarbonized flue gas with CO2 removed is discharged through the water scrubber. S2. The absorbent rich liquid generated after the absorbent lean liquid passes through the absorption unit in the absorption tower flows through the rich liquid pump to the lean and rich liquid heat exchanger to be heated into absorbent hot rich liquid and enters the desorption tower. The desorbed CO2 is cooled and cooled by the regeneration gas cooler to become product gas. The absorbent semi-lean liquid is recovered by the high-temperature flue gas waste heat reboiler to generate secondary steam and absorbent lean liquid mixture and return to the desorption tower. The absorbent hot lean liquid flows out from the bottom of the desorption tower, flows through the lean liquid pump to the lean and rich liquid heat exchanger and the lean liquid cooler for cooling, and then returns to the absorption tower.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: compared with the existing technology, the system and method for capturing carbon dioxide from cement kiln flue gas based on high-temperature flue gas waste heat regeneration technology provided by the present invention can effectively utilize the high-temperature flue gas from the cement kiln instead of external heat source water vapor to desorb CO2, which can effectively reduce the cost of CO2 capture and achieve cooling of the high-temperature flue gas from the cement kiln, and has good application prospects.
