TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture, in particular to a liquid-liquid phase separation type carbon dioxide absorption and desorption system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Carbon capture is the most costly link in the CCUS whole chain. Among the existing capture technology routes, post-combustion capture does not need to build new projects, only needs to install capture devices on the existing carbon emission source, and has low facility modification requirements, so it is a more feasible promotion scheme. Among the technical means of post-combustion capture, the absorption method has good process operability and engineering scalability, and is most likely to realize large-scale commercial application. The absorption method uses CO2-lean liquid of the absorption solvent to react with CO2 in the mixed gas of the carbon emission source flue gas at low temperature and low pressure, to selectively absorb it, and the purified gas after decarburization is discharged to the external environment. The obtained CO2-rich liquid reacts reversely at high temperature and high pressure to desorb relatively pure CO2, so as to realize the separation of CO2 from the mixed gas, and the CO2-lean liquid of the regenerated absorption solvent restores the ability to absorb CO2, and the cycle is repeated.
[0003] The CO2 absorption solvent applied to post-combustion capture has undergone many developments. Currently common ones include organic amine solution, cooled ammonia solution, ionic liquid, amino acid salt solution, activated carbonate solution and mixed liquid system of the above. The difficulty of developing CO2 absorption solvent is to find a new formula that can balance the absorption rate, capture capacity and stability, volatility, corrosiveness and viscosity of the solvent, so as to realize low material consumption and energy consumption of the absorption process. In addition, different solvents use different capture processes and operating conditions, and the improvement of the process flow, such as efficient heat integration and coupling means of waste heat and pressure utilization, is also of great significance to reduce the capture energy consumption, reduce the carbon footprint of the process itself, and realize the cost optimization of the whole capture system. At present, due to the bottleneck of absorption solvent and process development, the energy consumption and cost of post-combustion capture are high, which is also a key problem that needs to be solved for large-scale promotion and application of the technology.
[0004] In recent years, a new carbon capture process based on the liquid-liquid phase change of solvent after absorbing CO2 has been developed rapidly. According to the literature, such solvents, such as composite organic amine solution and ionic liquid, are divided into different polar hydrophilic phase and oleophilic phase after absorbing CO2 in the absorption tower, and most of the absorbed CO2 is enriched in one phase (usually the hydrophilic phase). Only the CO2-rich phase needs to be simply separated and transported to the desorption tower for regeneration, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption of desorption. The disadvantage of this system is that due to hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force and other intermolecular interactions, the viscosity of the CO2-rich phase increases, which can reach more than 100 cp at the absorption operation temperature, which is not conducive to CO2 mass transfer and also significantly increases the process energy consumption (such as for solution transportation and heat exchange). In addition, the existing phase change process is relatively single, and the potential of phase change for reducing process energy consumption is not fully utilized. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to maintain the viscosity of the CO2-rich phase below 50 cp during the CO2 absorption and desorption process by adopting multiple liquid-liquid phase separation or phase combination process improvements in the traditional two-phase solvent system, and introducing anti-stickiness additives in the formula to interfere with intermolecular interaction forces. Not only the viscosity of the CO2-rich phase during the absorption process is maintained below 50 cp, overcoming the disadvantage of rapid decrease of absorption reaction kinetics rate with increasing viscosity, but also the CO2 loading capacity is increased, the equipment size and process energy consumption are reduced, and the overall carbon capture cost is reduced.

Through these improvements, the amount of liquid to be processed in each operating unit is reduced, efficiency is improved, the process is more energy-efficient, and the size of the absorption tower, desorption tower, pools, and heat exchange devices is reduced, making the equipment more compact and lowering the overall cost of the CO2 capture system.

After the mixed liquid is cooled, it flows out from the warm flow outlet of the second inter-cooler HE2 and enters the CO2 lean liquid inlet at the upper part of the second absorption tower A2.
[0036] The liquid-liquid phase separation type carbon dioxide absorption and desorption system of the present application is illustrated in detail as follows:
[0037] The CO2 captured by the present application is from the flue gas or tail gas containing low CO2 concentration discharged to the atmosphere at the end of the centralized carbon source, including but not limited to the power, petrochemical, chemical, building material, steel, non-ferrous metal, papermaking and other industries.
[0038] The external flue gas containing carbon dioxide to be treated is discharged from a coal-fired boiler, and after selective catalytic reduction denitration, bag dust removal, flue gas desulfurization and other steps, the temperature is reduced to 50-70°C, and the volume fraction of water vapor is 15-16%, and the volume fraction of carbon dioxide is 13-14%. The flue gas enters the contact cooling tower DCC from the lower part under the action of the booster fan BF, and the flue gas pretreatment is carried out in the contact cooling tower DCC. The dilute alkali solution (such as NaOH or KOH) in the alkali solution storage tank BT, generally with a mass concentration of about 10%, enters from the upper part of the contact cooling tower DCC through the alkali solution pump BP, and the flue gas and the alkali solution are directly countercurrently contacted in the tower. After the alkali solution is washed, the particulate matter, water-soluble impurities, residual acid gases and other substances in the flue gas are deeply removed, the SO2 concentration is less than 10 ppm, the deactivation of the solvent is minimized, and at the same time, the flue gas is cooled to 30-50°C by the alkali solution, and is discharged from the top of the contact cooling tower DCC. The alkali solution of the pretreated flue gas flows out from the bottom of the tower into the feed separator CKD, where the alkali solution is cooled, the insoluble substances are filtered, and the excess condensed water from the flue gas is removed (used to prepare the solvent in the fresh solvent storage tank ST) and recycled to the alkali solution storage tank BT. When the pH of the alkali solution is lower than 6, it is no longer suitable for continuing to be used for flue gas pretreatment, at which time fresh alkali solution needs to be replaced in the storage tank.
[0039] The pretreated flue gas enters the first-stage absorption tower A1 from the lower part, flows from bottom to top, and directly countercurrently contacts and reacts with the CO2-lean solution sprayed from the upper part of the first-stage absorption tower A1, and the lean solution absorbs carbon dioxide in the flue gas to become a CO2-rich solution, which is discharged from the bottom of the first-stage absorption tower A1. The flue gas from which part of the carbon dioxide is removed is discharged through the flue gas outlet at the top of the first-stage absorption tower A1, enters the second-stage absorption tower A2 from the lower part, countercurrently contacts and reacts with the CO2-lean solution which enters the second-stage absorption tower A2 from the upper part, and the lean solution absorbs carbon dioxide to become a CO2-rich solution, which is discharged from the bottom of the second-stage absorption tower A2. The operating temperature range of each stage of the absorption tower is 30-50°C. The flue gas from which carbon dioxide is removed is discharged through the outlet at the top of the second-stage absorption tower A2 (more than 90% removal rate), enters the washing tower WW from the lower part, and the flue gas post-treatment is carried out in the washing tower WW.
[0040] The flue gas countercurrently contacts with the washing liquid which is transported to the upper part of the washing tower WW from the washing liquid storage tank WT by the washing liquid pump WP, the washing liquid cleans the flue gas, removes the absorbed solvent components including volatile vapor and formed aerosol from the flue gas, and the flue gas is discharged from the bottom of the washing tower WW, is cooled and then returned to the washing liquid storage tank WT for recycling, and the purified flue gas is discharged from the top of the washing tower WW to the external environment.
[0041] The CO2-rich solution of the secondary absorption tower A2 is discharged from the bottom of the tower cavity and enters the secondary liquid-liquid separation tank PS2. Due to the density difference between the two liquid phases, static liquid-liquid stratification occurs in the tank, with the phase having a smaller density in the upper layer and the phase having a larger density in the lower layer, and >99% of CO2 is concentrated in one phase (CO2-rich phase) and <1% of CO2 is concentrated in the other phase (CO2-lean phase). As shown in Figure 1 the lower layer (in other cases, it can also be the opposite), and the viscosities of the two phases are <10 cp and <50 cp at 40°C, respectively. Part (5-80 wt%) of the CO2-lean phase is returned to the secondary absorption tower A2 through the second reflux pump CP2, and part (15-90 wt%) of the CO2-rich phase enters the rich phase mixing tank RM through the second rich phase pump RP2. Due to the heat release caused by the absorption process, the solvent temperature rises, and the middle reflux is set to remove the released heat and ensure the absorption effect. The proportion of the CO2-rich phase entering the rich phase mixing tank RM needs to be greater than the proportion of the CO2-lean phase refluxing to the secondary absorption tower A2.
[0042] In the present application, the CO2-lean phase has a small viscosity, but the driving force for CO2 absorption is insufficient, and the rate-activated component contained in the absorption solvent exists only in the CO2-rich phase. Therefore, only part of the CO2-rich phase in the secondary liquid-liquid separation tank PS2 is transferred to the rich phase mixing tank RM, and the remaining CO2-rich phase and CO2-lean phase enter the two-phase mixing tank LRM. After being uniformly stirred, the average viscosity and CO2 loading are lower than those of the CO2-rich solution entering the secondary liquid-liquid separation tank PS2, and the mixed solution is introduced into the primary absorption tower A1 from the upper part through the mixed phase pump MP to ensure sufficient mass transfer driving force and absorption rate in the primary absorption tower A1. The mixed solution from the primary reflux pump CP1 and the mixed phase pump MP is cooled by the primary interstage cooler HE1 and then enters the primary absorption tower A1. Due to the pre-division of part of the solvent, the cooling load of the primary interstage cooler HE1 is small, the solvent flow load of the primary absorption tower A1 is also small, and the size and equipment cost of the primary absorption tower A1 are also reduced accordingly.
[0043] The CO2-lean solution entering the tower cavity of the primary absorption tower A1 becomes a CO2-rich solution after absorbing CO2. During the absorption process, as the CO2 loading of the solution increases, part of the CO2-lean phase (from the two-phase mixing tank LRM) that constitutes the CO2-lean solution is converted into the CO2-rich phase, and the volume fraction of the CO2-rich phase also increases. The generated CO2-rich solution is discharged from the bottom of the tower cavity and enters the primary liquid-liquid separation tank PS1 and undergoes liquid-liquid stratification, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the CO2 lean phase is in the upper layer and the CO2 rich phase is in the lower layer, the viscosities of the two phases are <10 cp and <50 cp respectively at 40℃, the viscosity of the CO2 lean phase almost remains unchanged, and the viscosity of the CO2 rich phase only slightly increases due to the simultaneous increase of the CO2 loading and the volume fraction of the CO2 rich phase. Part (5-80%) of the CO2 lean phase is returned to the first absorption tower A1 through the first reflux pump CP1, 100% of the CO2 rich phase enters the rich phase mixing pool RM through the first rich phase pump RP1, and the remaining CO2 lean phase enters the lean phase mixing pool LM through the first lean phase pump LP1.
[0044] Both the two-stage liquid-liquid separation pools PS are continuously operated, the phase separation speed is fast and the time is short, so the liquid residence time is short, the size of the separation pool is small, and the liquid holdup of the first-stage liquid-liquid separation pool PS1 is less than that of the second-stage liquid-liquid separation pool PS2, so the size is smaller and the equipment cost is saved.
[0045] The rich phases of the liquid-liquid separation pools at each stage are stirred in the rich phase mixing pool RM, and the operating temperature range of the rich phase mixing pool RM is 30-50℃ (using the waste heat of the recycling system), because the compositions of the rich phases from each stage are different, the mixed rich liquid is redistributed and liquid-liquid delamination occurs according to the thermodynamic equilibrium, and the mechanical stirring accelerates this rebalancing process. The newly generated CO2 lean phase is directly returned to the lean liquid mixing pool LM through the second lean phase pump LP2, and the newly generated CO2 rich phase is divided into two streams to enter the desorption system for regeneration, part of the cold stream 10-90% does not pass through heat exchange and is directly introduced into the desorption tower D1 from the upper first inlet through the third rich phase pump RP3, so that the cold liquid stream can be used to cool the hot gas stream at the top of the desorption tower D1, so that part of the product gas is condensed and returned to the desorption tower D1, thereby reducing the latent heat demand of desorption; the remaining cold stream enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger HE3 through the fourth rich phase pump RP4 and is heated to enter the third liquid-liquid separation pool PS3 which is airtight and pressure-bearing. The operating temperature range of the third liquid-liquid separation pool PS3 is 80-100℃ (only the waste heat of the system is needed to maintain the operating temperature), at which the CO2 rich phase is preliminarily desorbed, the obtained product gas is compressed by the gas compressor CC1 and then enters the condenser HE4, the liquid is phase changed by heating and further decomposed into lean and rich phases, the newly generated CO2 lean phase is returned to the lean liquid mixing pool LM through the third lean phase pump LP3, and the newly generated CO2 rich phase enters the desorption tower D1 from the middle through the fifth rich phase pump RP5.
[0046] In the desorption tower D1, the cold liquid from the upper part and the hot liquid from the middle part are mixed, heated downward, and decomposed to release CO2, especially in the lower part of the desorption tower D1, the mixed liquid enters the reboiler RB (operating temperature range: 120-140°C), is heated by low-pressure saturated steam, and is deeply desorbed to release a large amount of CO2 and regenerate the CO2-lean solution, and the gas-liquid flow returns to the tower cavity of the desorption tower D1, and the saturated steam is cooled to form condensed water and flows out of the reboiler RB. The CO2-lean solution flows out from the bottom of the desorption tower D1, and the regenerated gas rich in CO2 flows upward and is discharged from the top of the tower, is combined with the product gas from the gas compressor CC1, and the combined gas enters the condenser HE4 to be cooled, to generate a gas-liquid flow that enters the gas-liquid separator CS through the outlet of the condenser HE4, the condensed liquid returns to the second inlet of the upper part of the desorption tower D1 through the liquid outlet of the gas-liquid separator CS, and the relatively pure CO2 product gas enters the carbon dioxide compressor CC2 through the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator CS for further compression and drying, and is subjected to subsequent purification and liquefaction steps to obtain liquid CO2 into a temporary storage tank for downstream CO2 utilization. Since the CO2 outlet pressure is relatively high (up to 6 bar at 100-120°C), the required desorption latent heat and compression work are reduced.
[0047] The CO2-lean solution from the bottom of the desorption tower D1 is cooled by the lean-liquid heat exchanger HE3, and then enters the lean-liquid mixing pool LM through the fourth lean-liquid pump LP4. The CO2-lean solutions from the first to fourth lean-liquid pumps into the lean-liquid mixing pool LM are partially transported to the upper inlet of the secondary absorption tower A2 through the fifth lean-liquid pump LP5 from the first outlet of the lean-liquid mixing pool LM, and the remaining part is transported to the solvent recovery device SR through the sixth lean-liquid pump LP6 from the second outlet of the lean-liquid mixing pool LM. In the solvent recovery device SR, the insoluble substances in the CO2-lean solution are filtered and degraded to form heat-stable salts which are removed by ion exchange after multiple absorption-desorption cycles. At the same time, to make up for the loss of the solvent, the newly prepared solvent is stored in the fresh solvent storage tank ST, and the water required for the preparation of the solvent is obtained from the washing liquid discharged from the washing liquid storage tank WT. The fresh solvent is combined with the recovered and purified solvent from the solvent recovery device SR through the make-up pump SP, and is transported to the upper inlet of the secondary absorption tower A2 through the seventh lean-liquid pump LP7. The CO2-lean solutions from the secondary reflux pump CP2, the fifth lean-liquid pump LP5, and the seventh lean-liquid pump LP7 are cooled by the secondary inter-stage cooler HE2 and then enter the secondary absorption tower A2 as the absorption solvent for recycling.
[0048] In the present application, the refrigerant for the heat exchanger generally refers to circulating cooling water, and the system can integrate the use of waste heat including but not limited to flue gas waste heat, reboiler condensed water waste heat, compressor inter-stage waste heat, etc.

The reactive component includes rate activator and Brønsted base, the former includes but is not limited to one or more primary amines (such as ethanolamine, diethylene triamine, etc.) or secondary amines (such as diethanolamine, piperazine, etc.), which can enhance the absorption rate of the solvent; the latter includes but is not limited to one or more tertiary amines (such as N- methyl diethanolamine, 1,4-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine, etc.) or steric hindrance amines (such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-(tert-butylamino) ethanol, 2-(isopropylamino) ethanol, etc.), which can enhance the absorption capacity of the solvent. The phase separation agent includes but is not limited to one or more CO2 inert organic solvents, such as 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolinone, N methyl pyrrolidone, sulfolane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, etc., which can promote the liquid-liquid two-phase separation. The anti-stickiness additive includes but is not limited to one or more dispersants, including alcohols (such as ethanol, 2-propanol, butanol, etc.), phenols (such as phenol, benzyl phenol, etc.), organic or inorganic salts of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (such as lithium acetate, lithium perchlorate, magnesium chloride, etc.), amides, amide-like, sulfone, guanidine salt substances (such as urea, thiourea, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, guanidine hydrochloride, guanidine nitrate, etc.), surfactants (such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, quaternary ammonium salt, etc.), etc., which can interfere with and destroy the intermolecular forces mediated by hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, etc., and reduce the viscosity of the solvent. The poor water mixed organic amine absorption solvent is homogeneous or two-phase in the CO2 lean liquid state, and automatically and spontaneously or induced by environmental conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.) to become liquid-liquid two-phase in the CO2 rich liquid state. The two phases have a polarity difference, the CO2 lean phase is mainly composed of unreacted solvent molecules, which constitutes an oleophilic phase, and only a small amount of physically dissolved CO2, and the CO2 rich phase contains a large amount of CO2 absorption reaction ionic and amphoteric molecule products such as carbamate, carbonate / bicarbonate, etc., which constitutes a hydrophilic phase.
