Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon capture, and in particular to a system and method for adsorbing and recovering CO2 in flue gas. Background Art

[0002] Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an inevitable choice to achieve the global goal of addressing climate change, and is also an important part of my country's carbon neutrality technology system. Among the many carbon dioxide capture technologies, chemical adsorption carbon capture technology has the characteristics of low regeneration energy consumption and simple process flow, and is one of the more promising solutions.

[0003] At present, the chemical adsorption process system mainly uses a fluidized bed (fast fluidized bed and bubbling fluidized bed) to realize the adsorption and desorption process of CO2, as described in the literature "Continuous operation of the potassium-based drysorbent CO2 capture process with two fluidized-bed reactors", "Circulating Fluid-Bed Studies for CO2 Capture from Flue Gas using K2CO3 / Al2O3 Adsorbent", etc. However, the biggest problem faced is the wear of the adsorbent. On the one hand, there is collision wear between the adsorbent particles, and on the other hand, there is wear between the adsorbent particles and the wall of the reaction device and the gas-solid separation in the cyclone separator at the reactor outlet. This causes a large amount of fine powder to be generated during the operation of the adsorption device. New adsorbent particles must be added in time to ensure stable operation of the device, but this results in high operating and investment costs. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to effectively overcome the problem of severe wear of adsorbent particles in the prior art and to provide a system and method for adsorbing and recovering CO2 in flue gas.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a system for adsorbing and recovering CO2 in flue gas, the system comprising a moving bed adsorption tower, a desorption device, a cooling and lifting device and a cooling and conveying device, the bottom outlet of the moving bed adsorption tower is connected to the inlet of the desorption device, the outlet of the desorption device is connected to the lower inlet of the cooling and lifting device, the upper outlet of the cooling and lifting device is connected to the inlet of the cooling and conveying device, and the outlet of the cooling and conveying device is connected to the top inlet of the moving bed adsorption tower;

[0006] The desorption device comprises a first shell and a first conveyor belt arranged inside the first shell, wherein the first conveyor belt is used to convey the adsorbent from the bottom outlet of the moving bed adsorption tower to the lower inlet of the cooling and lifting device;

[0007] The cooling conveyor device comprises a second shell and a second conveyor belt arranged inside the second shell, and the second conveyor belt is used to convey the adsorbent from the upper outlet of the cooling lifting device to the top inlet of the moving bed adsorption tower.

[0008] Preferably, a flue gas outlet is provided at the upper portion of the moving bed adsorption tower, and a flue gas inlet is provided at the lower portion of the moving bed adsorption tower.

[0009] Preferably, a built-in cooling coil is provided inside the moving bed adsorption tower.

[0010] Preferably, a temperature monitor is provided inside the moving bed adsorption tower for monitoring the internal temperature of the moving bed adsorption tower during operation.

[0011] Preferably, a surface heating coil is provided on the surface of the first shell of the desorption device.

[0012] Preferably, a CO2 outlet is provided on the first shell of the desorption device, and the CO2 outlet is used to discharge the CO2 generated in the desorption of the desorption device.

[0013] Preferably, the cooling and lifting device comprises a bucket elevator;

[0014] Preferably, the bucket elevator is provided with a first cooling air inlet and a first cooling air outlet, wherein the first cooling air inlet and the first cooling air outlet are used for introducing and discharging cooling air respectively;

[0015] Preferably, the cooling gas is nitrogen.

[0016] Preferably, a second cooling air outlet and a second cooling air inlet are provided on the second shell of the cooling conveyor device, and the second cooling air inlet and the second cooling air outlet are used for introducing and discharging cooling air respectively;

[0017] Preferably, the cooling gas is nitrogen.

[0018] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for adsorbing and recovering CO2 in flue gas, the method being implemented in the above-mentioned system;

[0019] The method comprises the following steps:

[0020] The flue gas to be treated is introduced into the moving bed adsorption tower, and is countercurrently contacted with the adsorbent with a particle size of 0.3-0.8mm moving from top to bottom, and CO2 in the flue gas is removed by chemical adsorption. The operating temperature of the moving bed adsorption tower is controlled to be 40-80°C by the built-in cooling coil, and the flue gas with CO2 removed is discharged from the moving bed adsorption tower; the adsorbent after adsorbing CO2 is discharged from the bottom of the moving bed adsorption tower by self-weight dropping, and then enters the first conveyor belt in the desorption device from the inlet of the desorption device for heating, desorption and conveying at the same time, and the operating temperature of the desorption device is controlled to be 100-300°C, and the generated CO2 gas is discharged from the CO2 outlet of the desorption device. The adsorbent after desorption is conveyed to the outlet of the desorption device, and then is sent into the cooling and lifting device from the lower inlet of the cooling and lifting device for lifting and preliminary cooling at the same time. The adsorbent after preliminary cooling is lifted to the upper outlet of the cooling and lifting device for discharge, and the temperature of the upper outlet is controlled to be 80-100°C when the adsorbent is discharged.

The cooled adsorbent is conveyed to the outlet of the cooling conveyor device for discharge, and the temperature of the outlet is controlled to be 40-80°C when the adsorbent is discharged, and then enters the moving bed adsorption tower from the top inlet of the moving bed adsorption tower for reuse.

[0021] Preferably, the flue gas to be treated is the flue gas after purification and dehydration;

[0022] Preferably, the adsorbent is selected from at least one of a solid amine-based adsorbent and an alkali metal-based adsorbent.

[0023] In the present invention, the combination of "moving bed + conveyor belt + bucket elevator" is adopted, which can greatly reduce the degree of wear of adsorbent particles in the "adsorption-desorption" process, thereby ensuring the long-term efficient and stable operation of the device and reducing investment and operating costs. The moving bed is used to realize the contact adsorption process between the adsorbent and the flue gas. Compared with the bubbling fluidized bed and the fast fluidized bed, the adsorbent particles in the moving bed mainly move downward by gravity, the operating speed is lower, and the degree of particle wear is greatly reduced. At the same time, the moving bed makes the volume density of the bed particles larger than that of the bubbling and fast fluidized beds, which effectively improves the contact between the flue gas and the adsorbent, thereby improving the CO2 capture efficiency; when the adsorbent after adsorption runs in the desorption device, the cooling and lifting device and the cooling and conveying device, the conveyor belt and the bucket elevator are used to realize the transportation of the adsorbent, so that the adsorbent particles remain relatively static with the transportation device during transportation, and there is basically no particle wear.
