Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon capture technology, and specifically to a carbon dioxide absorption system and method based on multiple absorbents. Background Technology

[0002] Addressing global climate change hinges on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide. Among numerous carbon dioxide emission reduction technologies, chemical absorption is currently the most widely used and effective carbon dioxide capture technology. Mixed organic amine absorbents are a relatively mature and widely used type of absorbent, and most existing carbon capture systems are designed and constructed based on composite amine absorption processes. However, due to the inherent properties of organic amines, this type of absorbent suffers from high regeneration energy consumption and high investment costs, limiting its practicality in certain operating environments.

[0003] Compared to traditional compound amine absorption processes, two-phase absorption and ionic liquid absorption processes have advantages in certain application environments. Therefore, two-phase absorption or ionic liquid absorption processes are used in specific environments. However, compound amine absorption is still the dominant absorbent used in industry. To effectively capture carbon dioxide, different absorption processes need to be combined for different application environments. However, there is currently no carbon dioxide absorption system that combines multiple absorbents such as compound amine absorbents, two-phase absorbents, and ionic liquid absorbents. If different absorbents are used simultaneously, multiple absorption and desorption units are required, which have a large footprint and lack operational flexibility. Summary of the Invention

This system, through the parallel operation of a conventional desorption tower and a falling film evaporation system, can effectively achieve simultaneous carbon capture of composite amine absorbents, two-phase absorbents, and ionic liquid absorbents with different viscosities within the carbon dioxide absorption system described in this invention. Furthermore, this system has a small footprint and is highly flexible in operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention proposes a carbon dioxide absorption system based on multiple absorbents. This system includes an absorption tower, a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger, a rich liquid heater, and a desorption unit. The desorption unit includes a desorption system and a falling film evaporation system connected in parallel.

[0018] Preferably, the upper end of the absorption tower is connected in sequence to a first condenser and a first gas analyzer.

[0019] Preferably, the system further includes a second gas analyzer for analyzing the gas from the vacuum pump and the second condenser.

[0020] A second aspect of this invention provides a carbon dioxide absorption method based on multiple absorbents, implemented in the system described above, comprising:

[0021] Carbon dioxide-containing flue gas is introduced into the absorption tower and comes into contact with the absorbent for carbon dioxide absorption, resulting in a carbon dioxide-rich solution. This rich solution is then transported to a lean-rich solution heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the lean solution flowing out of the desorption unit, resulting in a first heat-exchange rich solution and a first heat-exchange lean solution. The first heat-exchange rich solution is then fed into the rich solution heater for heating, resulting in a heated rich solution. When the viscosity of the heated rich solution is <30 MPa·s, it is transported to the desorption tower for desorption. When the viscosity of the heated rich solution is ≥30 MPa·s, it is transported to the falling film evaporation system for desorption, resulting in the lean solution. The first heat-exchange lean solution is then fed into the lean solution cooler for cooling and then returned to the absorption tower.

[0022] Preferably, the flue gas contains 9-13% carbon dioxide, 86-90% nitrogen, 0.085-0.088% carbon monoxide and 0.012-0.015% sulfur dioxide.

[0032] According to the carbon dioxide absorption system based on multiple absorbents described in this invention, firstly, flue gas containing a certain concentration of carbon dioxide is contacted and absorbed by absorbents in an absorption tower to obtain a carbon dioxide-rich solution. Then, the rich solution and the lean solution flowing out of the desorption unit exchange heat in a lean-rich solution heat exchanger to obtain a first heat-exchange rich solution and a first heat-exchange lean solution. The first heat-exchange rich solution is further heated to obtain a heated rich solution. When the viscosity of the heated rich solution is <30 mPa·s, the heated rich solution is transported to the desorption tower for desorption. When the viscosity of the heated rich solution is ≥30 mPa·s, the heated rich solution is transported to the falling film evaporation system for desorption. Therefore, the carbon dioxide absorption system based on multiple absorbents of this invention can effectively achieve carbon capture in one system simultaneously using composite amine absorbents, two-phase absorbents, and ionic liquid absorbents with different viscosities, thus eliminating the need to configure different absorption and desorption devices according to different absorbents. This system has the advantages of small footprint and flexible operation. Attached Figure Description

A thermocouple is installed at the center of the packing section, and a differential pressure measurement port is reserved. Temperature measuring points are located at the top, middle, and bottom of the absorption tower 1, while pressure measuring points are located at the bottom and top. The packing section has a differential pressure measuring point. In a preferred embodiment, the packing height of the packing section is adjustable to facilitate changing the type of packing. The demister is a wire mesh demister.
