Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture, and in particular to a carbon dioxide capture device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Global warming is a serious environmental problem that humans are currently facing. The extreme weather and rising sea levels caused by it seriously threaten the normal production and life of humans. Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas. In recent years, with the rapid development of industry, the increasing consumption of fossil fuels has led to an increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere year by year. Industrial waste gas contains a large amount of carbon dioxide. In order to reduce the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate, on the one hand, it is necessary to vigorously promote energy-saving and emission reduction technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the source; on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the resource utilization of carbon dioxide and turn waste into treasure. Carbon dioxide needs to be captured and processed, so carbon dioxide capture equipment is needed.

[0003] For example, a carbon dioxide capture device with Chinese publication number CN117582808B includes a tower-shaped tank body, the left side of the outer surface of the tower-shaped tank body is fixedly connected to a right-angle airway, a servo motor is installed on the left side of the outer surface of the gearbox, a shift plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the rotating shaft, an auxiliary component is arranged near the shift plate on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a connecting disk is fixedly connected to the center of the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a conical interception net is fixedly connected to the edge of the outer surface of the connecting disk, a right-angle rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting disk, the outer cylindrical surface of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the disk, a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the bottom of the disk, a trumpet bucket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring, and a through hole is connected to the trumpet bucket. The carbon dioxide capture device achieves the effect of rapid capture, can reduce the influence of flue gas heat, and allows the flue gas to fully contact with ammonia water, so as to fully capture carbon dioxide; However, the existing treatment method is to capture carbon dioxide, transport it to a designated location, and bury it deep underground, while this technical solution uses ammonia water to capture carbon dioxide, so carbon dioxide is dissolved in ammonia water. Therefore, during transportation, another technology is needed to separate ammonia water and carbon dioxide. Otherwise, ammonia water and carbon dioxide need to be transported together, resulting in part of the transportation space of a transport vehicle being occupied by ammonia water, which undoubtedly increases transportation costs. Using another technology to separate ammonia water and carbon dioxide increases the separation cost and takes up capture time.

[0004] Another example is a method for low-temperature distillation, purification and recovery of carbon dioxide, which is published in China with the publication number CN115069057B. It directly uses raw gas as a refrigerant, and uses carbon dioxide's own high-pressure throttling to provide cooling capacity. No other devices are required to provide cooling capacity, and the energy consumption is low. The process flow is simple and reliable. The raw gas enters the cooler after being compressed in the compressor; the raw gas is sent to the main heat exchanger and then enters the reboiler; the raw gas is further cooled by the reflux gas in the subcooler, and then sent to the No. 1 gas-liquid separator after being reduced in pressure and temperature by the No. 1 throttle valve; the liquid carbon dioxide condensed by the No. 1 gas-liquid separator is sent to the distillation tower as reflux liquid to participate in distillation, and the gas coming out of the No. 1 gas-liquid separator is reheated by the cooler and the main heat exchanger as the regeneration gas of the adsorber; the crude gas obtained from the distillation tower is cooled by the cooler and then enters the No. 2 gas-liquid separator; the carbon dioxide liquid obtained from the distillation tower is reduced in pressure by the No. 2 throttle valve, and then sent to the carbon dioxide product pipeline after being reheated by the cooler and the main heat exchanger; This technical solution uses a cooler and a heat exchanger to lower the temperature of carbon dioxide and increases the pressure of carbon dioxide through a compressor. However, when the gas enters the cooler or heat exchanger, if the gas is not completely dry at this time, the moisture contained in it may freeze due to the decrease in temperature and block the pipes of the cooler or heat exchanger, resulting in the cooler or heat exchanger being unable to discharge the gas, thereby affecting the capture of carbon dioxide.

9. A method for using a carbon dioxide capture device, applied to a carbon dioxide capture device according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1, introducing the gas to be treated after desulfurization treatment into the drying box (1001), and starting the four sets of heaters (1002) to heat the air in the drying chamber (1004). After the gas to be treated is dried by hot air and acidic desiccant, most of the moisture in the gas can be removed. While drying the gas to be treated, one of the first solenoid valves (4004) is opened and one of the first pumps (5002) is started, so that the coolant enters the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400). When the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400) is filled with coolant, the first solenoid valve (4004) and the first pump (5002) are closed; Step 2, opening the sixth solenoid valve (300), the dry gas enters the condenser (4002) in the first cooling mechanism (400) through a pair of discharge pipes (200), and exchanges heat with the coolant in the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400), thereby reducing the temperature of the gas to be treated; Step 3, opening the fourth solenoid valve (800), allowing the cooled gas to be treated to enter the compressor (600) through a pair of air inlet pipes (700), then closing the fourth solenoid valve (800), starting the compressor (600) and opening one of the third solenoid valves, so that all the coolant in the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400) flows out, and the compressor (600) squeezes the gas to be treated to increase its pressure. When all the coolant flows out, closing one of the third solenoid valves and starting one of the second pumps (13004 ) and one of the second solenoid valves, and simultaneously start another first pump (5002) and another first solenoid valve (4004), so that hot water fills the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400) to eliminate ice in the condenser (4002) of the first cooling mechanism (400), so that coolant fills the cooling box (4001) of the second cooling mechanism, and finally closes one of the second pumps (13004) and one of the second solenoid valves, another first pump (5002) and another first solenoid valve (4004); Step 4, open the fifth solenoid valve (1000), the high-pressure gas to be treated enters the condenser (4002) of the second cooling mechanism through a pair of gas outlet pipes (900), and exchanges heat with the coolant in the cooling box (4001) of the second cooling mechanism, thereby reducing the temperature of the gas to be treated again, and finally flows into the gas-liquid separator (1100), at which time the liquefied carbon dioxide flows out from the bottom outlet of the gas-liquid separator (1100), and the remaining gas is discharged from the top of the gas-liquid separator (1100), at which time one of the third solenoid valves is opened to allow all the hot water in the cooling box (4001) of the first cooling mechanism (400) to flow out, and then one of the third solenoid valves is closed; Step five, open another third solenoid valve to allow all the coolant in the cooling box (4001) of the second cooling mechanism to flow out, then close the third solenoid valve, start another second pump (13004) and open another second solenoid valve to allow hot water to fill the cooling box (4001) of the second cooling mechanism, close another second pump (13004) and another second solenoid valve again, allow the hot water to eliminate the ice in the condenser (4002) of the second cooling mechanism, finally open the third solenoid valve again to allow all the hot water to be discharged, and close the third solenoid valve again.
