Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas treatment technology, and more specifically to a flue gas carbon dioxide capture system. Background Technology
[0002] A typical process flow for chemical absorption in power plants involves pretreatment towers for cooling, dust removal, and deep desulfurization and denitrification. The flue gas then enters the absorption tower where it comes into countercurrent contact with the lean absorbent for heat and mass transfer. After decarbonization, the flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the top of the absorption tower. The absorbent that absorbs carbon dioxide from the flue gas is called the rich absorbent. The cold rich absorbent at the bottom of the absorption tower is heated by a lean-rich absorbent heat exchanger and then sent to the desorption tower. A reboiler installed at the bottom of the desorption tower generates secondary steam to drive the regeneration of the hot rich absorbent. The regenerated gas is cooled by a regenerated gas cooler, and the wet saturated carbon dioxide gas undergoes compression, drying, and liquefaction. The tail gas from the absorption tower enters a water washing section for washing and cooling, and the condensate is returned to the absorption tower. The regenerated gas from the regeneration tower is cooled by a regenerated gas cooler and undergoes gas-liquid separation before returning to the regeneration tower. Current technology does not adequately cool the absorbent, resulting in a high absorbent temperature and poor absorption of carbon dioxide from the flue gas. Furthermore, it does not fully utilize the waste heat from the regenerated gas. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The flue gas carbon dioxide capture system provided by this invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes an absorption tower 1 and a regeneration tower 2. The absorption tower 1 is used to absorb carbon dioxide in the flue gas, and the regeneration tower 2 is used to regenerate the cold rich liquid from the bottom of the absorption tower 1.
[0029] In the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, the flue gas enters from the bottom of the absorption tower 1 and comes into countercurrent contact with the absorbent liquid in the absorption tower 1. The cold rich liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide from the flue gas accumulates at the bottom of the absorption tower 1. The cold rich liquid is fed into the regeneration tower 2 and falls from top to bottom into the regeneration tower 2 for regeneration through a reboiler. Then, the regeneration gas containing carbon dioxide and water vapor flows out from the top of the regeneration tower 2, and the bottom of the regeneration tower is obtained as a hot lean liquid after carbon dioxide removal.
[0030] In the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, the absorption tower 1 includes, from bottom to top, an absorption section 11 and a water washing section 12 for sequentially treating the flue gas. A semi-rich liquid collector 13 is provided in the middle of the absorption section 11. The liquid in the semi-rich liquid collector 13 enters the semi-rich liquid cooler 14 and the cooled semi-rich liquid is sprayed into the lower part of the absorption section 11 through a first nozzle 15 provided at the lower part of the semi-rich liquid collector 13.
[0031] In the specific implementation process, the flue gas introduced from the bottom of the absorption tower 1 sequentially absorbs carbon dioxide in the absorption section 11. Then, the flue gas carrying carbon dioxide droplets continues upward into the water washing section 12 for water washing, absorbing the carbon dioxide entrained in the flue gas, while simultaneously absorbing the flue gas itself. A semi-rich liquid collector 13 is installed in the middle of the absorption section 11 to collect the semi-rich liquid obtained from the absorption section 11 after absorbing a small amount of carbon dioxide. The semi-rich liquid is then cooled outside the absorption tower 1 by the semi-rich liquid cooler 14, and finally sprayed into the absorption section 11 through the first nozzle 15. The cooled semi-rich liquid has enhanced adsorption capacity for carbon dioxide and continues to mix with the flue gas containing a high concentration of carbon dioxide, which can improve the adsorption effect. This interstage cooling method can improve the adsorption effect of carbon dioxide in flue gas.
[0032] In a specific embodiment of the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, the system further includes a washing liquid supply unit 16. The washing liquid supply unit 16 includes a washing liquid storage tank 161 and a washing liquid cooler 162. The washing liquid in the washing liquid storage tank 161 is fed into the washing liquid cooler 162, and the cooled washing liquid at the outlet of the washing liquid cooler 162 is fed into the washing section 12 for reuse. The washing liquid in the washing liquid storage tank 161 is approximately 40°C. After being cooled in the washing liquid cooler 162, the temperature of the washing liquid is approximately 25°C. Reusing the cooled washing liquid in the washing section 12 improves the washing effect of the flue gas and better removes carbon dioxide.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the system further includes a washing pump 19, through which the washing liquid in the washing liquid storage tank 161 is pumped into the washing liquid cooler 162. The washing pump 19 can be a conventional choice in the art, such as a booster pump.
[0034] In the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, a washing liquid collector 17 is provided at the bottom of the washing section 12, and the liquid in the washing liquid collector 17 enters the washing liquid storage tank 161. In the system of the present invention, after the flue gas is treated by the absorption section 11, the flue gas only carries a small amount of carbon dioxide. In the washing section 12, the solution obtained after the washing liquid washes the flue gas contains only a small amount of carbon dioxide, which can be collected and recycled, thereby saving resources. The washing liquid collector 17 at the bottom of the washing section 12 can collect the liquid in the washing section 12 and pass it into the washing liquid storage tank 161 as washing liquid. It is then fed into the washing liquid cooler 162 for cooling, and the cooled washing liquid at the outlet of the washing liquid cooler 162 is circulated back into the washing section 12 for reuse.
[0035] In a specific embodiment of the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, the system further includes a cooling storage tank 163. A portion of the cooling washing liquid from the outlet of the washing liquid cooler 162 enters the cooling storage tank 163 and mixes with the liquid in the semi-rich liquid collector 13 before entering the semi-rich liquid cooler 14. The cooling washing liquid from the outlet of the washing liquid cooler 162 can be entirely recycled into the washing section 12, or a portion can enter the cooling storage tank 163 and mix with the liquid from the semi-rich liquid collector 13 before entering the semi-rich liquid cooler 14 for cooling and then entering the absorption section 11 to absorb carbon dioxide from the flue gas.
[0036] In a specific embodiment, the system further includes a semi-rich liquid pump 20, through which cooling water washing liquid from the cooling storage tank 163 is input into the semi-rich liquid cooler 14. The semi-rich liquid pump 20 can be a conventional choice in the art, such as a booster pump.
[0037] In the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, the system includes a regeneration gas waste heat recovery unit 21, which includes a regeneration gas cooler 211 and a gas-liquid separator 212. The regeneration gas flowing out from the top of the regeneration tower 2 is input into the regeneration gas cooler 211 and the cooled regeneration gas is input into the gas-liquid separator 212. The liquid at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 212 is input into the regeneration tower 2 from the upper part of the regeneration tower 2. The regeneration gas containing carbon dioxide and water vapor flowing out from the top of the regeneration tower 2 is cooled by the regeneration gas cooler 211, and the water vapor becomes liquid water. Then, the cooled regeneration gas still has a high temperature and enters the gas-liquid separator 212 for gas-liquid separation. The carbon dioxide is discharged into the atmosphere or used elsewhere, while the water with a high temperature is returned to the regeneration tower 2 for reuse.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, the system further includes a water pump 213, through which the liquid at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 212 is input into the regeneration tower 2. The water pump 213 can be a conventional choice in the art, such as a booster pump.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a second nozzle 22 is provided at the upper part of the regeneration tower 2, and the liquid (i.e., liquid water) at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 212 is input into the regeneration tower 2 through the second nozzle 22. Using a nozzle to spray water from the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 212 into the regeneration tower 2 increases the mass transfer surface area, allowing for better contact and heat exchange between the water and the regeneration gas. The water entering the regeneration tower 2 has a certain temperature, thereby fully recovering the waste heat from the regeneration gas and reducing regeneration energy consumption.
[0040] In the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention, in a specific embodiment, a portion of the cooling water washing liquid from the outlet of the water washing liquid cooler 162 enters the gas-liquid separator 212 and mixes with the cooling regeneration gas from the outlet of the regeneration gas cooler 211, and is then fed into the regeneration tower 2 from the top. In a specific embodiment, a portion of the cooling water washing liquid and the cooling regeneration gas can be mixed in the gas-liquid separator 212 for gas-liquid separation according to actual needs, allowing a portion of the cooling water washing liquid to absorb heat from the regeneration gas. The resulting liquid is then fed into the regeneration tower 2, which can provide the required water for rich liquid regeneration and also fully recover the heat of the regeneration gas, reducing regeneration energy consumption.

The cold rich liquid from the bottom of the absorption tower 1 has a lower temperature, while the hot lean liquid from the bottom of the regeneration tower 2 has a higher temperature. The heat exchange between the cold rich liquid and the hot lean liquid in the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 3 transforms the cold rich liquid into a hot rich liquid with a higher temperature. The hot rich liquid entering the regeneration tower 2 for regeneration can save regeneration energy.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, the system further includes a lean solution pump 33, through which hot lean solution from the bottom of the regeneration tower 2 is pumped into the lean-rich solution heat exchanger 3.

The hot rich liquid output from the hot rich liquid outlet 31 of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 3 is input into the regeneration tower 2 from the middle of the regeneration tower 2 through the third nozzle 23.
