Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection, and in particular relates to a solid calcium-based carbon dioxide capture system coupled to a coal-fired boiler. Background Art
[0002] Carbon dioxide capture technology is divided into pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture, oxygen-enriched combustion, etc. Pre-combustion capture and oxygen-enriched combustion have great restrictions on the application of coal-fired boilers and are difficult to apply to operating boilers. Post-combustion capture has little impact on coal-fired units. Among them, liquid chemical absorption is one of the most mature and widely used technologies. It uses the chemical reaction between chemical reagents and carbon dioxide to separate CO2 from flue gas. This technology is basically mature and has been demonstrated on a small scale. This technology generally has the problem of high energy consumption. The chemical absorption method requires more energy during the absorption and regeneration process, especially the regeneration process of the absorbent, which may lead to high overall energy consumption. Due to energy consumption and chemical use, the operating cost of the chemical absorption method is relatively high, which limits its economic feasibility on a larger scale. The absorbent may have a certain impact on the environment, such as the emission of volatile organic compounds and corrosion to equipment. Long-term operation may cause equipment corrosion and blockage problems, increase maintenance costs and operational complexity.
[0003] For example, the patent document CN117839379A published on April 9, 2024, discloses a high-pressure chemical chain coupled calcium cycle carbon dioxide capture system and its application, which is not suitable for coal-fired units. For example, the patent document CN114522533A published on May 24, 2022, discloses a calcium-based heat carrier circulating flue gas carbon dioxide capture system and method. The system uses cyclone separation to achieve calcium-based cycle capture of carbon dioxide, but the system introduces high-pressure air fluidization calcium-based absorbent, introduces air, increases system energy consumption, and affects the purity of captured carbon dioxide. For example, the patent document CN114405247A published on April 29, 2022, discloses a carbon dioxide capture system, which uses a calcium-based carbon dioxide capture system with an air compressor, which is also not suitable for carbon dioxide capture from coal-fired units.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention aims to develop an innovative CO2 capture method, aiming to reduce energy consumption, improve environmental compatibility, avoid equipment corrosion, and enhance system stability, in order to achieve better economic and environmental benefits.

[0059] The boiler assembly comprises a coal-fired boiler 1, a dust collector 2 and a desulfurization tower 3;
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the carbon dioxide capture system is as follows:
[0061] The high-temperature flue gas generator 8 is connected to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7, respectively, to provide high-temperature flue gas, which heats the regenerative body in the high-temperature regenerative furnace. The first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 is connected to the first fixed bed 4 and the coal-fired boiler 1, respectively; the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7 is connected to the second fixed bed 5 and the coal-fired boiler 1, respectively; the two high-temperature regenerative furnaces can provide heat for the fixed bed, so that the solid CaCO3 particles in the fixed bed are decomposed into CO2 and CaO under the heat of the regenerative furnace; they can also provide heat for the coal-fired boiler 1. In actual application, the two high-temperature regenerative furnaces can be operated alternately, when one is used for heat storage, the other is used for heat release and heating of CO2. The two fixed-bed reactors are also operated alternately, one for absorbing CO2 in the flue gas, and the other for decomposing CaCO3 to generate CO2 and CaO, so as to realize absorbent regeneration and carbon dioxide capture.
[0062] The outlets of the first fixed bed 4 and the second fixed bed 5 are both connected to the first CO2 cooler 11 and the second CO2 cooler 13, so that the CO2 decomposed by the fixed bed can be cooled by the CO2 cooler. The second CO2 cooler 13 is connected to the CO2 storage tank 9 through the CO2 booster 14, so that the CO2 is pressurized by the CO2 booster and sent to the CO2 storage tank 9 for storage.

[0063] The coal-fired boiler 1 is connected to the dust collector 2 and the desulfurization tower 3 in sequence; the desulfurization tower 3 is connected to the first fixed bed 4 and the second fixed bed 5 respectively, and the outlets of the first fixed bed 4 and the second fixed bed 5 are connected to the waste heat recovery device 10 respectively; when the flue gas in the high-temperature heat storage furnace enters the coal-fired boiler 1, the flue gas heat is fully utilized and enters the dust collector 2 and the desulfurization tower 3 for treatment, and then the flue gas is sent to the first fixed bed 4 or the second fixed bed 5, and the CaO in the fixed bed reacts with the CO2 in the flue gas to generate CaCO3, and the flue gas after removing CO2 enters the waste heat recovery device 10, and finally, the clean flue gas without CO2 is discharged into the atmosphere.
[0064] Furthermore, the CO2 booster fan 12 is connected to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7 respectively, so that the CO2 decomposed by the fixed bed is used to heat the CaCO3 particles again without introducing other gas components, ensuring that there are no other gases in the CO2 decomposed by CaCO3, and the purity of CO2 can be guaranteed. It also makes it possible to use part of the high-temperature CO2 at the outlet of the fixed bed as the heat source for decomposing CaCO3, and less heat is required for heating by the regenerative furnace, thereby reducing costs.
[0065] The carbon dioxide capture system proposed in this embodiment adopts a fixed bed as a reactor for CO2 absorption and CaO regeneration, which can ensure that CO2 is fully in contact with CaO powder and the reaction efficiency can be guaranteed. At the same time, the system is equipped with an independent high-temperature flue gas generator to provide a heat source for the decomposition of CaCO3 into CaO and CO2. A heat storage furnace is used to store part of the heat of the high-temperature flue gas in the flue gas generator in the heat storage body for heating CO2.
[0066] Implementation method three, see Figure 1 The present embodiment is described as follows. On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a plurality of valves are added to achieve carbon dioxide capture by controlling the opening of the valves.
[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, valves 15 and 16 are respectively arranged at the connection between the CO2 booster fan 12 and the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7; valves 17 and 18 are respectively arranged at the connection between the high-temperature flue gas generator 8 and the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7; valves 19 and 20 are respectively arranged at the connection between the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the second high-temperature regenerative furnace 7 and the coal-fired boiler 1; valve 21 is arranged between the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 and the first fixed bed 4, and valve 22 is arranged at the outlet of the first fixed bed 4.

[0068] Embodiment 4: This embodiment provides a carbon dioxide capture method implemented by a solid calcium-based carbon dioxide capture system coupled to a coal-fired boiler based on any one of the above embodiments, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:
[0069] Step 1: Add solid CaCO3 particles into the first fixed bed and the second fixed bed respectively, and close all valves.
[0070] Step 2: Open the valves between the high-temperature flue gas generator and the first high-temperature regenerative furnace, between the first high-temperature regenerative furnace and the first fixed bed, at the outlet of the first fixed bed, and between the CO2 booster and the CO2 storage tank, start the high-temperature flue gas generator, and heat the regenerative body in the first high-temperature regenerative furnace with the high-temperature flue gas. At the same time, use the high-temperature flue gas to heat the CaCO3 particles in the first fixed bed to decompose them into CO2 and CaO. The CO2 is first cooled by the second CO2 cooler, and then pressurized by the CO2 booster and stored in the CO2 storage tank.
[0071] Step 3: Close the valves between the first high-temperature heat storage furnace and the first fixed bed and at the outlet of the first fixed bed, open the valves between the high-temperature flue gas generator and the second high-temperature heat storage furnace, between the second high-temperature heat storage furnace and the coal-fired boiler, between the desulfurization tower and the first fixed bed, and between the first fixed bed and the waste heat recovery device, start the high-temperature flue gas generator, and the high-temperature flue gas heats the heat storage body in the second high-temperature heat storage furnace. The high-temperature flue gas enters the coal-fired boiler. After the heat of the flue gas is fully utilized, it enters the dust collector and the desulfurization tower, and then enters the first fixed bed. CO2 in the flue gas reacts with CaO to generate CaCO3, and the flue gas after removing CO2 enters the waste heat recovery device;
[0072] Step 4: Open the valves between the CO2 storage tank and the CO2 booster fan, between the CO2 booster fan and the first high-temperature regenerative furnace, between the first high-temperature regenerative furnace and the first fixed bed, and at the outlet of the first fixed bed. Draw CO2 from the CO2 storage tank, pressurize it with the CO2 booster fan, and send it to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace for heating. Then, it enters the first fixed bed to heat the CaCO3 particles, and also decomposes them into CO2 and CaO. Part of the CO2 is cooled by the CO2 cooler, and then pressurized by the CO2 booster equipment and sent to the CO2 storage tank. Part of the CO2 is sent to the CO2 storage tank. O2 After being cooled by the first CO2 cooler, it is then pressurized by the CO2 booster fan and sent to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace for heating. The high-temperature CO2 is then used to circulate and heat CaCO3 to ensure the decomposition efficiency of CaCO3.
[0073] Step 5: After the system is running normally, the two regenerative furnaces operate alternately, one for heat storage and the other for heat release to heat CO2. The two fixed bed reactors also operate alternately, one for absorbing CO2 in the flue gas and the other for decomposing CaCO3 to generate CO2 and CaO, thereby achieving absorbent regeneration and carbon dioxide capture.
[0074] In practical application, this implementation method is specifically as follows:
[0075] In order to prevent other gases from being introduced into the flue gas used for decomposing CaCO3, natural gas is used as fuel in the flue gas generator 8 during the startup phase. When the system is operating normally, the fuel of the flue gas generator 8 can be replaced by coal or other fuels.
[0076] Step 1: Add sufficient solid CaCO3 particles to the first fixed bed 4 and the second fixed bed 5 respectively, and keep all valves in the system closed. Open valves 18, 22, 26 and 30, start the high-temperature flue gas generator 8, and use the high-temperature flue gas to heat the heat storage body in the second high-temperature heat storage furnace 7. At the same time, use the high-temperature flue gas to heat the CaCO3 particles in the second fixed bed 5 to decompose them into CO2 and CaO. The CO2 is first cooled by the CO2 cooler 13, and then pressurized by the CO2 boosting equipment and stored in the CO2 storage tank 9. The CO2 storage tank 9 is set to the CO2 replenishment pipeline at the inlet of the CO2 booster fan.
[0077] Step 2: Close valve 18, valve 22, valve 26; open valve 16, valve 19, valve 24 and valve 28; start the high-temperature flue gas generator, and the high-temperature flue gas generated is used to heat the heat storage body in the first high-temperature heat storage furnace 6, and then the flue gas enters the coal-fired boiler 1. After the flue gas heat is fully utilized, it enters the dust collector 2 and the desulfurization tower 3. The flue gas passes through the second fixed bed 5, and the CO2 in the flue gas reacts with CaO to generate CaCO3. The flue gas after removing CO2 enters the waste heat recovery device 10. Finally, the clean flue gas without CO2 is discharged into the atmosphere.
[0078] Step 3: At the same time, open valves 15, 21, 25 and 31, draw CO2 from the CO2 storage tank 9, pressurize it with the CO2 booster fan 12, and send it to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 for heating, and then enter the first fixed bed 4 to heat the CaCO3 particles, and also decompose them into CO2 and CaO. A part of the CO2 is cooled by the CO2 cooler 13, and then pressurized by the CO2 booster device 14 and sent to the CO2 storage tank 9. A part of the CO2 is cooled by the CO2 cooler 11, and then pressurized by the CO2 booster fan 12 and sent to the first high-temperature regenerative furnace 6 for heating, and then the high-temperature CO2 is used to heat the CaCO3 in a cycle to ensure the decomposition efficiency of CaCO3.
[0079] Step 4: When the system is running normally, the two regenerative furnaces are operated alternately, one for heat storage and the other for heat release and heating of CO2. The two fixed bed reactors are also operated alternately, one for absorbing CO2 in the flue gas and the other for decomposing CaCO3 to generate CO2 and CaO, realizing absorbent regeneration and carbon dioxide capture.
