Description

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of combustion material cleaning treatment and recovery, and is applied to the recycling of combustion gas of a ship, in particular to a CO2 capture and recovery system and method for a deep-sea ore collection ship. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the in-depth research on marine resources and the progress of development technology, deep-sea mining has become one of the global focuses. The collection device, as one of the core mining equipment, has always been the focus of attention. At present, the hydraulic collection method is the most widely used. The hydraulic method is a kind of collection method that uses water jet to hit the nodule particles on the seabed surface to strip the polymetallic nodule ore from the mud surface, and then uses the pressure difference to complete the suction work. However, this mechanism has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, easy to be affected by the seabed microtopography, and large disturbance to the seabed environment, mainly manifested as: the water flow needs to have a large energy when it is shot out, and the energy of the water jet is dissipated quickly in the process of traveling due to the influence of viscosity; the impact range of the water jet on the soft sediment is large, which produces a large-scale plume and causes the suffocation of marine organisms.

[0003] CN115749786 A discloses a supercritical CO2 jet collection and tail flow processing system, which includes a jet collection device, a pump suction pipeline, a separation and storage device, and a tail flow processing unit. The jet collection device includes an anti-overflow cover and a high-pressure jet nozzle with heating function. The bottom of the anti-overflow cover is of an open structure. The high-pressure jet nozzle has two groups, which are oppositely arranged inside the anti-overflow cover and can spray supercritical CO2 to the inside of the anti-overflow cover. The front end of the pump suction pipeline is fixedly connected with the top of the anti-overflow cover, and the rear end is fixedly connected with the separation and storage device. The tail flow processing unit is arranged below the separation and storage device and is fixedly and sealingly connected with the bottom of the front end of the separation and storage device. The application realizes the collection of polymetallic nodules, solves the damage of plume diffusion to the marine ecological environment, and ensures the normal operation of subsequent mining operations.

[0004] The above patent is an improvement on the hydraulic jet method, which uses liquid carbon dioxide jet instead of water jet.

[0039] The technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the present application.

[0040] The application provides a CO2 capture and recovery system and method for a deep-sea ore collection ship.

[0041] The embodiment provides a specific implementation mode of a CO2 capture and recovery system and method for a deep-sea ore collection ship, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0042] The air suction hood 1 is used for absorbing the flue gas emitted by the ship. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the air suction hood 1 is designed to be airtight and has the function of isolating air.

[0043] The temperature of the flue gas emitted by the ship is in the range of 300-500 DEG C, and the flue gas needs to be cooled before carbon recovery. Under the action of the exhaust fan 2, the flue gas is sucked and cooled.

[0044] Specifically, the volume expansion of the flue gas drives the male and female screws to rotate in opposite directions, so that the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy.

[0045] The cooled flue gas is discharged from the gear groove of the screw expander 4 and enters the flue gas water washing pretreatment device 5.

[0046] The device is composed of a spray head and a water pump.

[0047] The specific structure of the absorption tower 6 is shown in Figure 1As shown, the tower includes a flue gas inlet 61, an absorbent inlet 62, a bottom outlet 63, and a top outlet 64. The temperature of the flue gas after cooling and desulfurization is 40℃-60℃, which is conducive to the absorption of carbon dioxide by the monoethanolamine solution. It enters from the flue gas inlet 61. The carbon dioxide in the flue gas reacts with the monoethanolamine solution flowing in from the absorbent inlet 62 to form carbamate, which flows out from the bottom outlet 63 under the suction of the pump. The ethanolamine solution loaded with carbon dioxide is called amine-rich solution. The decarbonized flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere from the top outlet 64.

[0048] The rich amine solution is heated by the heat exchanger 8 under the action of the pump suction device 7 and enters the regeneration tower 9. Water vapor is used as a heat source to drive the rich amine solution, thereby desorbing carbon dioxide gas and leaving the decarbonized amine solution, which is called the lean amine solution.

[0049] A pump suction device 7 is installed between the absorption tower 6 and the regeneration tower 9. The regeneration tower 9 includes a rich amine liquid inlet 91, a lean amine liquid outlet 92, a CO2 outlet 93, a heating plate 94, a filter plate 95, and a steam inlet 96. A solution chamber is formed between the heating plate 94 and the filter plate 95. Under the action of the pump suction device 7, the rich amine liquid enters the solution chamber from the rich amine liquid inlet 91. The high-temperature steam generated by the tubular heat exchanger 3 enters the bottom of the regeneration tower 9 through the steam inlet 96. The heating plate 94 heats the rich amine liquid in the solution chamber and desorbs CO2 gas. The CO2 gas passes through the filter plate 95 and is discharged from the CO2 outlet 93. The desorbed lean amine liquid is discharged from the regeneration tower from the lean amine liquid outlet 92.

[0050] The regeneration tower 9 is connected to a heat exchanger 8; the rich amine liquid inlet 91 and the lean amine liquid outlet 92 are both connected to the heat exchanger 8, so that the rich amine liquid flowing into the regeneration tower 9 and the lean amine liquid flowing out of the regeneration tower 9 exchange heat before flowing in and out.

[0051] CO2 forms a relatively weak salt with monoethanolamine, which can be desorbed at higher temperatures (above 105 °C), thereby achieving the capture of carbon dioxide and the recycling of amine solution; however, the energy consumed by desorption is relatively large, and if the energy consumption for desorption is provided by the ship's power supply device, it may have a certain impact on the operation of other structures of the ship; the present invention uses waste heat recovery from flue gas to provide energy consumption.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flue gas passes through the tubular heat exchanger 3 and exchanges heat with the low-temperature water medium. The low-temperature water absorbs the heat of the flue gas and turns into high-temperature water vapor, which enters the bottom of the regeneration tower 9 for steam heating to achieve the separation of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide after heating and separation is discharged from the CO2 outlet 93 of the regeneration tower 9 and stored in the form of liquid carbon dioxide after cooling and compression.

[0053] Specifically, the high-temperature carbon dioxide is cooled to about 20℃ by the condensing device 10, and then enters the turbine compressor 11 for pressurization treatment, so as to reach the condition of being converted into liquid carbon dioxide; finally, the carbon dioxide is stored in the storage tank 15 in the form of liquid.

[0054] Carbon dioxide compression is one of the reasons for high energy consumption of carbon capture, and the energy consumption required for compression is also from the heat recovered from the flue gas, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the flue gas enters the screw expander 4 from the tubular heat exchanger 3, first enters the screw groove in the machine, and drives the screw to rotate. With the rotation of the screw, the volume continuously increases, and the steam is depressurized, cooled and expanded (or flashed) to do work, and finally the gas is discharged. The output power from the male screw of the main shaft drives the turbine compressor 11 to work.

[0055] At the same time, the system also includes a temperature control device. Thermal degradation is caused by high temperature and high partial pressure of acid gas, and mainly occurs in the bottom of the regeneration tower. Thermal degradation substances will polymerize into viscous substances similar to resin at high temperature, causing an increase in pollutants, which is not conducive to the recycling of amine solution; when the tower bottom temperature is higher than 120℃, the thermal degradation begins to gradually increase; therefore, the temperature of the steam heat source in the regeneration tower needs to be controlled;

[0056] Specifically, the bottom of the regeneration tower is connected with the temperature control device 12, as shown in the figure, the temperature control device 12 includes a temperature controller 121, a thermometer 122, a second condenser 123 and an evaporator 124; Figure 5

[0057] The thermometer 122 measures the temperature of the heating steam at the bottom of the regeneration tower 9; if the measured temperature is higher than the upper limit of the preset temperature range, the temperature controller 121 controls the first switch 125 to close, and connects the second condenser 123 to cool the regeneration tower 9 until the temperature reaches a certain preset temperature, and the switch is disconnected; if the temperature is lower than the lower limit of the preset temperature range, the temperature controller 121 controls the second switch 126 to close, and connects the evaporator 124 to heat the regeneration tower 9, and when the temperature reaches a certain preset temperature, the second switch 126 is automatically disconnected.

[0058] Further, because the temperature control of the temperature controller 121 will have small amplitude fluctuations, a floating space is needed, so the target temperature of the temperature controller 121, i.e. the above-mentioned certain preset temperature, is set to 110℃, and the preset temperature range is 110-120℃; which can prevent the influence of serious degradation caused by too high temperature and low desorption efficiency caused by too low temperature.

[0059] ​After the lean amine liquid flows out from the bottom outlet 92 of the regeneration tower 9, it passes through the heat exchanger 8 to transfer heat to the rich amine liquid for cooling; then it is purified to continuously remove suspended solids and thermally stable salts and other impurities from the amine liquid, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the amine liquid system and the absorption efficiency of the amine liquid.

[0060] Specifically, the lean amine solution contains suspended solids and thermally stable salts, which can seriously affect the quality control of the lean amine solution, the stable operation of the equipment, and the corrosion damage to the equipment. Therefore, it needs to be purified. The lean amine solution purification device consists of an activated carbon filter 13 and a first condenser 14.

[0061] Furthermore, ZC activated carbon, as the adsorption activated carbon for the pretreatment of lean amine solution, has the advantages of good adsorption effect and low price, and can effectively remove solid suspended matter. After pretreatment, the lean amine solution enters the second condenser to reduce the temperature to below 10°C, which promotes the precipitation of thermally stable salts and removes impurities. After removing impurities, the lean amine solution is heated to about 40°C and can enter the absorption tower for reuse.

[0062] After carbon dioxide capture and storage is completed, it is transported to the deep sea via pipelines to solve the energy supply problem for CO2 jets. The specific process is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the specific jet acquisition device and method are existing publicly available technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
