Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of CO2 preparation, and in particular to a method and equipment for wet flue gas decarbonization. Background Art

[0002] The impact of global warming caused by greenhouse gases on human survival and development is becoming increasingly significant. Reducing CO2 emissions has become a key consensus and important measure to address global climate change. In the face of severe climate change issues, reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions and preventing global warming is a strategic issue related to the survival and reproduction of all mankind.

[0003] The distribution of carbon emissions in various parts of my country in 2019 is as follows Figure 3 my country's carbon emissions mainly come from CO2 emitted from energy consumption and industrial processes. Among them, carbon emissions from energy consumption mainly come from the combustion of fossil fuels, and carbon emissions from industrial processes mainly come from hydrogen production.

[0004] In view of the sources of carbon emissions in my country, carbon neutrality should be achieved through the following aspects:

[0005] 1. Realize energy structure transformation and replace fossil fuels with clean energy such as nuclear energy. China may need to adjust its primary energy structure from the current 85% fossil fuels to 85% clean energy.

[0006] 2. Find new ways to produce hydrogen and combine it with the use of clean energy to achieve decarbonization of the hydrogen production process.

[0007] 3. Develop carbon sinks and carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies.

[0008] At present, my country's carbon quota is a mechanism of free allocation and spot trading. my country's energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP will drop by 13.5% between 2021 and 2025, so the carbon quota will be further tightened in the future. As the carbon emission market matures, the price of carbon trading will reach 300-500 yuan / ton of CO2. For high-energy-consuming enterprises, the excess carbon emissions significantly increase production costs, so they can only eliminate the original energy-consuming old technology and develop new technology or capture the CO2 that exceeds the carbon quota through carbon capture technology.

[0009] In the next 20 years, my country's energy structure is not expected to change much. Therefore, large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is the only solution that can be applied to the major heavy industrial facilities that are most difficult to reduce emissions in the next 20-30 years to achieve significant and direct emission reductions.

[0010] In terms of CO2 utilization, the main ways to use CO2 include enhanced oil recovery, facility agriculture, chemical conversion and food processing. According to surveys, the amount of CO2 that can be used for enhanced oil recovery is expected to exceed 40 million tons / year, and the annual oil production of CO2 flooding can reach tens of millions of tons. CO2 has great potential for EOR. Facility agriculture develops the carbon sink function of crops by increasing the application of carbon dioxide gas fertilizer. The carbon absorption rate of crops is about 0.007t / (m -2 ·a -1 ), if facility agriculture is used to capture 100,000 tCO2 per year, the required crop area is about 30 km 2 , that is, 40,000-50,000 mu. In 2012, my country's facility agriculture area was 57.96 million mu, accounting for more than 85% of the world's total area, and the maximum usable CO2 reached 100 million tons / year. However, due to the wide distribution of facility agriculture, the crop area required for a conventional scale carbon capture project is large, making it difficult to achieve larger-scale CO2 utilization. The total CO2 utilization for chemical conversion is currently about 250,000 tons, and it is still in the pilot stage. CO2 used in food processing is also very small.

[0011] In summary, EOR is the only way to achieve large-scale CO2 utilization. Combining CCS with EOR can achieve large-scale carbon capture and utilization. However, the current high cost of carbon capture is still a major factor affecting the large-scale promotion of CCS-EOR technology. Summary of the invention

[0046]

[0047] The total cost of CO2 capture technology is relatively high, of which CO2 capture and separation accounts for about 70-80% of the total CCS cost. Therefore, reducing the cost of CO2 capture and separation is of great significance. According to the analysis of the cost of the absorption method, the high energy consumption of CO2 desorption is the main reason for the high cost of the absorption method. Among the desorption energy consumption, the latent heat of water evaporation and the sensible heat of absorbent heating account for 40-50% of the total desorption energy consumption. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of low-cost and high-efficiency separation of CO2, it is necessary to develop a low-energy flue gas decarbonization process.

[0049] 1) Wash the hot flue gas with water to remove water-soluble impurities;

[0050] 2) contacting the washed flue gas with a solvent to obtain a rich liquid that absorbs CO2;

[0084] Example 1

[0085] use Figure 1 The wet flue gas decarbonization equipment shown in the figure processes about 40,000Nm 3 / h coal boiler to get hot flue gas after desulfurization and denitrification. The process includes the following:

[0086] The hot flue gas temperature is 150-180 degrees. After passing through the first heat exchanger 5, the recovered flue gas heat enters the low-pressure liquid methanol, and then passes through the water washing tower 1, contacts with the washing water, and is cooled and washed to 40 degrees. It is then sent to the absorption tower 2 by the fan, wherein CO2 is absorbed by the monoethanolamine aqueous solution (mass concentration 20%), and the tail gas is discharged into the atmosphere from the tail gas outlet at the top of the tower. The rich liquid after absorbing CO2 passes through the poor-rich liquid heat exchanger at the bottom of the tower, and is sent to the desorption tower 3 after recovering heat. The desorbed CO2 is cooled together with the water vapor through the third heat exchanger 6, and after recovering part of the heat to the low-pressure liquid methanol, the water is separated and removed, and the product gas with a CO2 purity of 99% is obtained and sent to the subsequent process for use.

[0087] The heat exchange medium, low-pressure liquid methanol, circulates among the first heat exchanger 5, the third heat exchanger 6, the reboiler 7 and the centrifugal compressor, wherein heat is recovered in the first heat exchanger 5 and the third heat exchanger 6, and after evaporating into a gas phase, it enters the centrifugal compressor, and the pressure and temperature will increase. It enters the reboiler 7 of the desorption tower 3 as a heat source. After the heat is output, the cooled and liquefied heat exchange medium enters the collection tank, and the liquid phase in the collection tank continues to circulate.

[0088] The energy consumption of Example 1 is shown in Table 1 below:

[0089] Table 1

[0090]

[0091] Comparative Example 1

[0092] The difference from the first embodiment is that no heat circulation unit is used, that is, the first heat exchanger 5, the third heat exchanger 6 and the heat pump compressor 9 are not provided, and the heat is not recovered for use in the reboiler 7. Figure 2 As shown, the energy consumption of comparative example 1 is as shown in Table 2:

[0094]

[0095] By comparison, it can be seen that the improved process has lower comprehensive energy consumption per unit CO2 and production costs than the traditional process.

[0096] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
