[0019] The front treatment device 1 outlet is connected with the security device 2 through the heat insulation pipeline, the security device 2 is internally provided with explosion-proof port, gas detector, filter and other sub-components, which are used for further filtering tail gas impurities and monitoring CO2 concentration in the tail gas, according to the concentration change to carry out tail gas delivery and cooperate with the opening and closing of the explosion-proof port in extreme cases, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the process; the compressor 4 is connected with the security device 2 through the heat insulation pipeline and the first regulating valve 3, which converts the normal pressure tail gas into high pressure state, improves the carbon density, provides necessary high pressure for the CO2 separation device 8, and further improves the carbon capture efficiency; the gas storage tank 6 is fixed behind the compressor 4, and the two are connected through the heat insulation pipeline and the second regulating valve 5, the compressed tail gas enters the gas storage tank 6 for stable flow, which balances the pressure of the tail gas to be captured, reduces the compression heat, improves the gas stability and the like; the CO2 separation device 8 is connected with the gas storage tank 6 through the heat insulation pipeline and the third regulating valve 7, which includes a separation module, a feed inlet, a first discharge outlet and a second discharge outlet, the CO2 storage tank 9 is connected with the first discharge outlet of the CO2 separation device 8 through the heat insulation pipeline, the tail gas to be captured enters the separation module through the feed inlet first, captures CO2 and separates CO2 by relying on the difference of CO2 solubility, diffusion rate and other properties on both sides of the separation module, the separated CO2 is transported to the CO2 storage tank 9 through the first discharge outlet and the heat insulation pipeline, and temporarily stored, which reduces the CO2 pressure, improves the gas stability and the like, and the separated waste gas is discharged to the two-stage differential pressure turbine expander 10 through the second discharge outlet; wherein the CO2 permeation flux (J) calculation formula is: J=P×A×D, P refers to the pressure difference of the tail gas, which represents the pressure difference between the feed side and the discharge side; A is the effective area of the separation module, which represents the separation module surface area through which the gas passes; D is the diffusion coefficient of the gas, which represents the diffusion rate of the gas in the separation material; wherein the selectivity (a) calculation formula is X refers to the mole fraction of CO2, X other is the mole fraction of other gases;
[0020] The two-stage pressure differential turbine expander 10 comprises a first stage working section 1001, a permanent magnet generator 1002, a bearing 1003, a second stage working section 1004, and a gas-liquid separator 1005. The first stage working section 1001 is connected to the second outlet of the CO2 separation device 8 through a heat insulation pipeline. The outlet of the first stage working section 1001 is connected to the inlet of the second stage working section 1004 through a pipeline. The two working sections are connected through the bearing 1003. The permanent magnet generator 1002 is installed in the middle of the bearing 1003. The gas-liquid separator 1005 is fixedly embedded in the diffuser and outlet pipeline of the first stage working section 1001. When the exhaust gas is expanded to about atmospheric pressure, its theoretical temperature is lower than the CO2 desublimation temperature. The two-stage pressure differential turbine expander 10 is used to prevent the very small amount of CO2 contained in the captured exhaust gas from being desublimated into solid dry ice when reaching the theoretical low temperature, thereby damaging the working wheel of the machine. The separated exhaust gas still contains a small amount of CO2. The exhaust gas first enters the first stage working section 1001 to expand to the critical pressure point of liquid CO2.

The work calculation formula of each stage pressure differential turbine expander 10 is: n represents the change index of the thermal process of the first stage pressure differential turbine expander, which is determined by the manufacturing performance of the pressure differential turbine expander itself. R g represents the gas constant of the exhaust gas. T1 represents the inlet temperature of the first stage pressure differential turbine. T2 represents the outlet temperature of the first stage pressure differential turbine. T3 represents the inlet temperature of the second stage pressure differential turbine.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 , the desublimation chamber 12 is equipped with a control system and an exhaust port; in this embodiment, the control system can identify the cold energy required for the sublimation process of the desublimation chamber 12 and cooperate with the fourth regulating valve 11 and the fifth regulating valve 13 to realize reasonable distribution of the low-temperature waste gas, and the exhaust port is used to discharge the high-temperature waste gas after providing cold energy; wherein the cold load calculation formula of the desublimation chamber 12 is Q1=m×ΔH, m represents the mass of CO2; ΔH represents the enthalpy change in the sublimation process, which is about 25.1 kJ / mol at normal temperature and pressure.
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , the CO2 tank 9 is provided with an outlet; in this embodiment, the direct output of CO2 is realized.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the excess cold energy storage chamber 14 is provided with an output end; in this embodiment, the excess cold energy storage chamber 14 is provided with an output end, and the low-temperature waste gas stored therein can be used for tail gas precooling or other cold energy utilization scenarios; ignoring the process loss, the cold energy load calculation formula of the excess cold energy storage chamber 14 is Q2=W t -Q1.
