Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon capture, and in particular to an amine aerosol removal device, method and a carbon capture system. Background Art

[0002] CO2 generated by fossil energy utilization accounts for about 90% of total CO2 emissions. "Building first and then breaking" to promote fossil energy pollution reduction and carbon reduction and new energy development and utilization has become an important consensus for my country to achieve its dual carbon goals. Organic amines absorb CO2 with high absorption efficiency, good adaptability, and mature technology. It is the CO2 capture technology with the greatest industrial application potential at this stage. In recent years, it has made great progress in basic theory and technical research, and is gradually developing into one of the bottom-up technologies for controlling carbon emissions in the future process of fossil energy utilization.

[0003] High energy consumption is a major challenge facing amine-based carbon capture technology. Existing studies have focused on reducing system operating costs by developing efficient absorbents or optimizing absorption processes. Currently, the operating costs of the most advanced amine-based carbon capture systems have been reduced to less than 200 yuan / ton of CO2. In addition to high energy consumption, the latest test data shows that organic amine emissions during carbon capture cannot be ignored. The mass concentration of amine emissions can reach up to 3000 mg / m 3 Amine emissions not only directly cause operating losses of absorbents, but also serve as important precursors of haze after entering the atmosphere, increasing the nucleation rate of aerosols by hundreds or thousands of times. Therefore, the emission of organic amines in amine-based carbon capture systems is becoming a new challenge for their large-scale promotion.

[0004] The amine emission forms of amine carbon capture mainly include physical entrainment, gaseous amines and amine aerosols. Traditional water scrubbers and demisters only have a good control effect on gaseous amines or entrained amine droplets, but the removal efficiency of small-particle amine aerosols formed secondary is low. The latest research found that when there are certain heterogeneous nuclei such as sulfuric acid mist and carbon soot in the flue gas, the concentration of amine aerosols will increase sharply and become the dominant part of amine emissions. Some scholars have used wet electrostatic demisters and Brownian diffusers for amine aerosol removal, and the removal effect is obvious. However, compared with solid particles, amine aerosols have the characteristics of high viscosity, hygroscopicity, deformation, fragmentation and aggregation, and are prone to problems such as difficulty in removal, component blockage and increased pressure drop. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a special high-efficiency separation technology suitable for the physical and chemical characteristics of organic amine aerosols.

[0005] Thompson first used colloidal gas foam (CGA) for amine emission control in 2014. This method fully considered the physicochemical properties of organic amine aerosols. The main principle of separating amine aerosols is to utilize the collision and aggregation of amine aerosols and bubbles. However, small-particle amine aerosols have low momentum in the process of colliding with foams, and it is difficult to effectively overcome the collision energy barrier, so the removal effect is not ideal.

[0045] In this embodiment, the foam generating device includes a foam generator 11, the foam generator 11 is connected to a foam delivery pipeline, one end of the foam delivery pipeline away from the foam generator 11 extends into the main housing, and is connected to a foam distributor 5, and the foam distributor 5 is arranged close to the high-voltage electrode 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, the foam generator 11 preferably uses a high-speed impeller foam generator, and the parameters for generating foam can be dynamically adjusted according to the discharge parameters. If the amine aerosol is positively charged, the foam can be generated by an anionic surfactant.

[0047] As a preferred implementation mode, in this embodiment, the high-voltage power supply 6 is preferably a negative high-frequency DC power supply, the surfactant used in the foam generator 11 is preferably a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), and the impeller speed and the amount of surfactant added are nonlinearly adaptively adjusted according to the front-end flue gas flow, discharge voltage and current.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the foam distributor 5 includes a foam distribution pipe, and the foam distribution pipe is provided with multiple circles. The foam distribution pipes of all circles and the high-voltage electrodes 2 of all circles are alternately arranged from the inside to the outside, that is, multiple circles of foam distribution pipes and high-voltage electrodes 2 are alternately arranged from the center position of the main shell to the outer edge, and the foam distribution pipe of the innermost circle can be only one; wherein the foam distribution pipe is arranged parallel to the high-voltage electrode 2, and the outlet of the foam distribution pipe is arranged downward close to the high-voltage electrode 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the high-voltage electrode 2 is separated from the foam distribution pipe by a gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3; wherein the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 is a component that allows smoke to pass through and mix with foam and run upward, and a plurality of gas-lifting and liquid-holding components 3 are provided, and a gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 is provided above each high-voltage electrode 2. Specifically, the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 is made of conductive material, and is a vertically arranged hollow hexagonal prism structure, with an open bottom and a closed top, and the high-voltage electrode 2 extends from the bottom into the corresponding gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 and is located at the center of the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3; and a plurality of through holes are vertically arranged on the side wall of the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 to form a hexagonal honeycomb structure, so that the charged amine aerosol and the foam can be fully contacted and mixed. Furthermore, the gas-lifting and liquid-holding components 3 of adjacent circles can be connected, and the gap between the gas-lifting and liquid-holding components 3 of adjacent circles is the installation space of the foam distribution pipe.

[0050] In this embodiment, the overall shape of the gas lifting and liquid holding component 3 and the shape of the through holes on the side wall can be selected according to specific needs. For example, the gas lifting and liquid holding component 3 can also be a pentagonal prism structure or a cylindrical structure, and the through holes can be elliptical or diamond holes, and the opening rate is between 60% and 80%.

[0051] In this embodiment, the closest distance between the high-voltage electrode 2 and the inner wall of the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 is 1 / 2 of the distance between the top of the high-voltage electrode 2 and the inner wall of the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 to avoid local discharge breakdown; the charging process of the amine aerosol mainly occurs in the area of ​​the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3, so the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 is connected to the grounding wire to ensure good grounding.

[0052] In this embodiment, the high-voltage electrode 2 and the foam distribution pipe are arranged in a ring-shaped spaced manner. The flue gas flows through the gas-raising and liquid-holding component 3 and flows out from the through holes on all sides, so that the amine aerosol in the flue gas and the foam are fully contacted and mixed.

The above-mentioned packing used in this embodiment is low in cost, easy to process and shape, and corrosion-resistant, which greatly reduces the investment cost, and the weight is much lower than that of metal packing.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] This embodiment provides an amine aerosol removal method, which uses the amine aerosol removal device described in Example 1 and mainly includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. charging the amine aerosol in the flue gas by the charging device, and then contacting and mixing the charged amine aerosol with foam to form a foam mixture, wherein the foam is an ionic foam with a surface charge and has a polarity opposite to that of the charged amine aerosol;

[0057] S2. The amine aerosol in the foam mixture is allowed to aggregate with the foam in the filler layer 7 and then be removed.

[0058] The specific removal process is as follows:

[0059] The flue gas after carbon capture enters the main shell from the flue gas inlet 1, and the high-voltage electrode 2 discharges at high voltage at the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3 to ionize the flue gas and charge the amine aerosol in the flue gas. The foam generated by the foam generator 11 is transported to the foam distributor 5 through the foam conveying pipeline. After the foam is output, it contacts and mixes with the flue gas through the through holes around the gas-lifting and liquid-holding component 3. A small part of the amine aerosol in the flue gas is aggregated with the foam and separated in this process, and the remaining part moves upward with the flue gas and foam to reach the packing layer 7. Due to the presence of the packing, the flue gas and the foam are strongly mixed, so most of the amine aerosol in the flue gas is aggregated with the foam in this area and removed.

[0060] As the foam continues to move upward in the packing layer 7, the foam merges and breaks, eventually forming droplets with a particle size of several tens of microns. The droplets of this particle size are separated by the demisting component 9, and the remaining smoke is discharged from the exhaust port.

[0061] As the polymerization process proceeds for a long time in the packing layer 7, organic amines may adhere to the surface of the packing. The packing layer 7 is regularly cleaned by the cleaning device 8, and the cleaned water falls into the cleaning water collection chamber 10 and eventually returns to the foam generator 11 for recycling or direct discharge.

[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] This embodiment provides a carbon capture system, including an amine carbon capture absorption tower and the amine aerosol removal device described in Embodiment 1, wherein the flue gas inlet 1 of the amine aerosol removal device is connected to the flue gas outlet of the amine carbon capture absorption tower.

[0064] In summary, the present invention starts from the technical principles of electrocoagulation and chemical agglomeration, and innovatively proposes a new technology of amine aerosol charging enhancement and heteropolar ion foam aggregation and separation. Compared with the original foam separation technology, the aerosol charging link is added, and the charged characteristics of the ionic foam surface are utilized to enhance the aerosol-foam aggregation process.

[0065] Moreover, although the present invention utilizes the principle of heteropolar electrocoagulation, it is essentially different from the traditional electrocoagulation, which is specifically reflected in:

[0066] 1) Traditional heteropolar electrocoagulation requires two positive and negative power supplies to charge the particles in the flue gas with opposite polarities in two different flue gas channels, so the structure is complex and the equipment cost is high; while the present invention effectively utilizes the characteristic of ionic foam itself that it can be charged, reduces the use of a set of power supplies, simplifies the process and reduces power consumption.

[0067] 2) Due to the high viscosity of organic amines, they are easily accumulated on the electrode surface and cause abnormal discharge and other problems. However, in the present application, this problem is effectively solved by combining with colloidal foam, and the surface groups of the colloidal foam can also produce a beneficial effect similar to chemical agglomeration with organic amine molecules.

[0068] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
