Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide emission reduction, and more specifically, particularly relates to a multi-stage isothermal phase change absorption tower for high-concentration carbon dioxide capture. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industry and the use of a large amount of fossil fuels, the content of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing continuously, and problems such as global warming and glacier melting are intensifying. Among them, carbon dioxide is considered to be one of the main culprits of climate change. To mitigate the negative impacts brought about by climate change, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is considered a technology with industrial application potential. Among various CCUS technologies, the organic amine absorption method in chemical absorption method is widely used because of its strong selectivity and wide application range, and has now become one of the mainstream technologies for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture.

[0003] However, the traditional organic amine absorption method has the problem of high regeneration energy consumption. To further reduce the regeneration energy consumption, the phase change absorption method came into being, reducing the energy consumption from 4 GJ / tCO 2 to about 2.4 GJ / tCO 2 However, while the phase change absorption method reduces the energy consumption, it brings the problem of heat release. The process of the organic amine solution in the absorption tower absorbing CO 2 is an exothermic reaction, and the heat generated by the reaction is transferred to the absorption liquid, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the absorption liquid. The increase in the temperature of the absorption liquid limits the driving force of the absorption process and reduces the CO 2 loading capacity of the absorption liquid, and at the same time will also exacerbate the degradation of the organic amine.

[0004] The problem of serious heat release during the absorption process of the phase change absorption method has become an urgent problem to be solved in industry. Maintaining the solution in the absorption tower at a suitable temperature while maintaining the capture rate is an important key to promoting the development of this technology.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0023] In the existing technology, there is a problem that the heat released during the process of the absorbent absorbing carbon dioxide is not properly handled. For example, the patent with the publication number CN116036803A discloses an absorption tower for flue gas carbon dioxide capture. The absorption tower includes a tower bottom recirculation section, an absorption section, and a water washing section arranged in sequence along the flue gas flow direction. The tower bottom recirculation section includes a liquid distributor, a variable-diameter packing layer, an absorption tower bottom, a liquid splitter, and a semi-rich liquid cooler; the absorption liquid in the absorption section enters the liquid distributor and the variable-diameter packing layer in sequence, enters the right side of the absorption tower bottom, and transports the semi-rich liquid in the absorption liquid to the semi-rich liquid cooler for cooling, and then returns to the liquid distributor; although this invention replaces the inter-stage cooling process with the tower bottom recirculation process, it reduces the storage tank equipment, but introduces a semi-rich liquid cooler, increasing additional costs.

[0024] The patent with the publication number CN118236819A discloses a gas-liquid redistribution device, an absorption tower, and a method for an absorption tower. The gas-liquid redistribution device for the absorption tower includes a distribution plate and at least one distribution mixer; the outer side wall of the distribution plate can be closely attached to the inner side wall of the absorption tower; at least one ventilation hole is provided on the distribution plate; the distribution mixer is arranged above the ventilation hole and covers the ventilation hole; the distribution mixer includes multiple groups of symmetrically cross-arranged inclined plates; multiple openings are provided on the inclined plates for dividing the flue gas passing through the distribution plate. Although this absorption tower improves the capture efficiency of harmful gases in the flue gas, it does not consider that while increasing the capture rate, it will also increase the heat release of the absorbent.

[0025] The patent with the publication number CN113648805A discloses a dual-zone double-circulation flue gas carbon dioxide absorption tower, which includes an absorption tower main body, a lower absorption packing layer, an upper absorption packing layer, a lower spray device, an upper spray device, an absorption tower demister, a first tower bottom, a second tower bottom, and an absorbent preparation tank; the absorption tower main body is divided into an upper absorption tower and a lower absorption tower; a lower absorption packing layer is provided in the lower absorption tower, and a lower spray device is provided above the lower absorption packing layer; an upper absorption packing layer is provided in the upper absorption tower, and an upper spray device is provided above the upper absorption packing layer. By increasing the liquid-gas ratio of the lower absorption tower, the height of the absorption tower can be reduced on the premise of ensuring the carbon dioxide capture rate of the lower layer. By increasing the absorbent concentration of the upper absorption tower and increasing the absorption reaction intensity, the height of the absorption tower can be effectively reduced on the premise of ensuring the carbon dioxide capture rate of the upper layer. Finally, while achieving a relatively high carbon dioxide capture rate of the whole tower, the height of the absorption tower can be effectively reduced. However, when improving the capture rate, the harm caused by the increase in absorbent temperature is not considered.

[0026] Regarding the problem that the absorbent releases heat during carbon dioxide absorption, this device adopts a multi-stage shunt process instead of an inter-stage cooling process, and by adjusting the shunt ratio, a uniform temperature distribution throughout the absorption tower is achieved. The specific content is as follows:

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a multi-stage temperature-uniform phase-change absorption tower for high-concentration carbon dioxide capture, including: an absorption tower 1, where several inlets, packing layers, and redistributors are distributed from top to bottom in the absorption tower 1. The inlets are, from top to bottom, the fourth inlet 104, the third inlet 103, the second inlet 102, and the first inlet 101. The packing layers are, from top to bottom, the I-section packing layer 105, the II-section packing layer 106, the III-section packing layer 107, and the IV-section packing layer 108. The redistributors are, from top to bottom, the first redistributor 109, the second redistributor 110, and the third redistributor 111; a phase separation tank 2, the bottom of the phase separation tank 2 is connected to the bottom of the absorption tower 1 through a pipeline, and the top of the phase separation tank 2 is connected to the third inlet 103 and the first inlet 101 through a pipeline; a heat exchanger 4, the heat exchanger 4 is connected to the bottom of the phase separation tank 2 through a rich liquid pump 3, and the heat exchanger 4 is connected to the fourth inlet 104 and the second inlet 102 through a pipeline; a desorption tower 7, the desorption tower 7 is connected with a reboiler 6, and the desorption tower 7 is connected to the heat exchanger 4 through a pipeline.

[0028] The absorption tower 1 is provided with a fourth inlet 104, a third inlet 103, a second inlet 102, and a first inlet 101 from top to bottom. A certain proportion of lean liquid and light phase 201 are controlled to enter the tower. The packing layer is used to promote the contact between the flue gas and the absorbent and improve CO 2Absorption efficiency. The redistributor is used to evenly distribute the liquid, ensuring the uniform distribution of the absorbent in the packing layer, avoiding the generation of local hot spots. At specific positions between the packing layers, openings are made, and a multi-stage shunt process is adopted instead of the inter-stage cooling process. By adjusting the shunt ratio, the temperature distribution throughout the absorption tower 1 is made uniform, avoiding the emergence of local hot spots. On the one hand, it can improve the absorption performance, and on the other hand, it can reduce the degradation of the absorbent and reduce the loss of organic amines.

[0029] The flue gas enters the absorption tower 1 from the bottom, and the high-concentration CO 2 has a concentration range between 20% - 40%, and the gas velocity range is 0.2 m / s - 3 m / s. The absorbent selected for phase change capture is a liquid-liquid phase change absorbent, and the absorbent is located in the absorption tower 1.

[0030] The fourth inlet 104 is located between the I-section packing layer 105 and the tower top, and is used to introduce lean liquid, with a proportion range of 60% - 80%. The third inlet 103 is located between the I-section packing layer 105 and the II-section packing layer 106, and is used to introduce the light phase 201, with a proportion range of 80% - 90%. The second inlet 102 is located between the II-section packing layer 106 and the III-section packing layer 107, and is used to introduce lean liquid, with a proportion range of 20% - 40%. The first inlet 101 is located between the III-section packing layer 107 and the IV-section packing layer 108, and is used to introduce the light phase 201, with a proportion range of 20% - 10%.

[0031] The height range of the I-section packing layer 105 is 0.5 - 2.5 m, the height range of the II-section packing layer 106 is 1.5 - 3 m, the height range of the III-section packing layer 107 is 0.5 - 2 m, and the height range of the IV-section packing layer 108 is 1.5 - 3 m. The height ranges of each section of the packing layer are different, which is used to promote the contact between the flue gas and the absorbent and improve the CO2 absorption efficiency. The height-diameter ratio of the absorption tower 1 ranges from 10 - 50.

[0032] The following table shows the comparison of different packing layer height data and the comparison of the tower internal temperature after introducing different proportions of lean liquid and light phase in this embodiment. According to the data in the table, within the set packing layer height range and the proportions of lean liquid and light phase added in this embodiment, the uniform distribution of the tower internal temperature can be achieved.

[0033]

[0034] Among them, 101100% in Comparative Example 1 means that both the lean liquid and the light phase enter from 101. The ratio of 101 and 103 refers to the proportion of the light phase, and 102 and 104 refer to the proportion of the lean liquid.

[0035] The first redistributor 109 is located below the packing layer 105 in section I, the second redistributor 110 is located below the packing layer 106 in section II, and the third redistributor 111 is located below the packing layer 107 in section III. The regeneration redistributor can be a disk type, trough type, pipe type, flower type or combined type liquid redistributor, which is used to evenly distribute the liquid and avoid the generation of local hot spots in the absorption tower 1.

[0036] In the phase separator 2, the upper layer is the light phase 201 and the lower layer is the rich phase 202. The light phase 201 refers to the absorbent solution separated in the phase separator 2, which contains less CO 2 and impurities. The light phase 201 is usually lighter than the rich phase 202 (the absorbent solution containing more CO 2 ), so it will float on the top in the phase separator 2. The light phase 201 layer is connected with a light phase pump 8 through a pipeline. The pumping end of the light phase pump 8 is connected with the third inlet 103 and the first inlet 101 through pipelines. The light phase 201 enters the absorption tower 1 from the third inlet 103 and the first inlet 101. The third inlet 103 is located between the packing layer 105 in section I and the packing layer 106 in section II, and the first inlet 101 is located between the packing layer 107 in section III and the packing layer 108 in section IV. Such a design helps to introduce the light phase 201 at different parts of the tower to adjust the temperature in the tower and promote the absorption of CO 2 The introduction of the light phase 201 helps to maintain the temperature balance in the absorption tower 1 because its inlet temperature is relatively low, which can help absorb and transfer the heat in the tower, thus avoiding local overheating. The inlet temperature of the light phase 201 liquid is lower than 40°C, and the multi-stage isothermal absorption tower 1 can evenly control the temperature of the entire absorption tower 1 below 50°C.

[0037] The absorption tower 1 is connected with the phase separator 2 through a rich liquid pipeline. This connection method allows the rich liquid after absorption (the absorbent solution containing a higher concentration of CO 2 ) to flow out from the bottom of the absorption tower 1 and then enter the phase separator 2 for separation. The separated rich phase 202 is pumped to the heat exchanger 4 by the rich liquid pump 3. The heat exchanger 4 is connected with the top of the desorption tower 7 through a pipeline. The desorption tower 7 is connected with a reboiler 6. The heat provided by the reboiler 6 is used to heat the rich liquid in the desorption tower 7 to promote the desorption of CO 2 The carbon dioxide in the rich liquid is released through the desorption tower 7 and the reboiler 6 to form lean liquid that can be used again. The lean liquid completes the cooling process in the desorption tower 7. There is a cooling link in the desorption tower 7. The regenerated lean liquid in the desorption tower 7 is pumped into the heat exchanger 4 by the lean liquid pump 5, and then the lean liquid enters the absorption tower 1 from the fourth inlet 104 and the second inlet 102. This is to introduce the lean liquid at different parts of the tower to achieve uniform temperature distribution and improve the absorption efficiency. The fourth inlet 104 is near the top of the tower, and the second inlet 102 is located between the packing layer 106 in section II and the packing layer 107 in section III. Such a design helps to form countercurrent contact and improve the absorption of CO2 Absorption efficiency.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] In the experiment, flue gas with a concentration of 0.3 m / s and 25% CO 2 was introduced from the bottom of the tower. The gas in the tower was in countercurrent contact with the absorbent to absorb CO 2 The absorbent was phase-separated in the phase separation tank 2 into a light phase 201 and a rich phase 202. The rich phase 202 was pumped to the desorption tower 7 for desorption. After desorption, the absorbent liquid became the lean liquid. The lean liquid entered the absorption tower 1 from the fourth inlet 104 and the second inlet 102 respectively, with proportions of 60% and 40% respectively. The light phase 201 was pumped to the third inlet 103 and the first inlet 101 respectively, with proportions of 90% and 10% respectively. It can be found that the temperature of the tower is relatively uniform.

[0040] Comparative Example 1:

[0041] In the experiment, flue gas with a concentration of 0.3 m / s and 25% CO 2 was introduced from the bottom of the tower. The gas in the tower was in countercurrent contact with the absorbent to absorb CO 2 The absorbent was phase-separated in the phase separation tank into a light phase and a rich phase. The rich phase was pumped to the desorption tower for desorption. After desorption, the absorbent liquid became the lean liquid. The lean liquid and the light phase were all sent to the top of the tower. It was significantly found that the temperature at the top of the tower was the highest, and the temperature gradually decreased from top to bottom. The temperature at the top of the tower reached 71 °C, and the temperature at the bottom of the tower was about 40 °C.
