Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon dioxide capture technology, and more specifically to a method for purifying thermally stable salts and recovering amines from decarbonized amine solutions. Background Technology

[0002] Global warming is becoming an increasingly prominent issue, with massive emissions of greenhouse gases being one of the main causes. Industrial carbon emissions, primarily composed of carbon dioxide, have garnered increasing attention, prompting governments and businesses to explore large-scale capture, storage, and utilization of carbon dioxide. Among numerous capture methods, chemical absorption has become mainstream due to its high efficiency and relatively mature technology. Commonly used chemical absorbents include amine solutions such as methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA). These absorbents effectively capture and separate carbon dioxide through acid-base reactions, exhibiting high absorption capacity and low regeneration energy consumption.

[0003] In long-term carbon dioxide capture processes, the accumulation of heat-stable salts (HSS) in the commonly used absorbent amine solution is a prevalent problem. These HSSs primarily originate from impurities in carbon dioxide, such as sulfates, sulfides, and nitrates. These inorganic salts react with the amine to form recalcitrant salts, leading to a decrease in the thermal stability of the solution. Furthermore, high-temperature, high-pressure operating conditions and the recycling of the solution also accelerate HSS formation, thereby affecting the absorbent's decarbonization performance and the safety of the equipment.

[0004] Several methods have been developed for removing HSS from alkanolamine solutions, including ion exchange, membrane separation, electrodialysis, and vacuum distillation. Ion exchange purifies the solution by adsorbing HSS through resin; membrane separation uses semi-permeable membranes to filter out HSS; electrodialysis removes HSS by driving ion migration through an electric field; and vacuum distillation separates the components based on their boiling point differences.

[0005] Alkylamine solutions, as effective carbon dioxide absorbers, utilize an absorption mechanism involving the chemical reactions of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines with carbon dioxide. Primary and secondary amines first undergo an acid-base neutralization reaction with CO2 during carbon dioxide absorption, forming carbamates. Specifically, primary amines (such as MDEA) react with CO2 to form primary carbamates; secondary amines (such as DEA) form secondary carbamates. Tertiary amines (such as TEA), lacking reactive hydrogen atoms on their nitrogen atom, do not directly form carbamates with CO2, but instead form bicarbonate intermediates. The formation of these carbamates is reversible; under heating or reduced pressure, CO2 can be released, regenerating the amine.

[0006] During the long-term recycling of alkanolamine solutions, the accumulation of heat-stable salts (HSS) is inevitable. To maintain the absorption efficiency of the solution, these HSS need to be removed periodically. However, existing methods for HSS removal, such as ion exchange, membrane separation, and electrodialysis, often remove not only HSS but also carbamates from the solution. This is because carbamates and HSS share certain chemical similarities, making them difficult to completely separate during removal. This non-selective removal process leads to a significant loss of amine, thereby reducing the absorption capacity and economic efficiency of the alkanolamine solution.

[0007] In conclusion, developing methods that can effectively remove HSS and efficiently recover amines is of great significance for improving the recycling efficiency of amine solutions and reducing operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem in existing technologies where the chemical structures of thermally stable salts and carbamates are similar, leading to the loss of amines due to the removal of carbamates along with the removal of thermally stable salts accumulated during the recycling of alkanolamine solutions. This invention provides a method for purifying thermally stable salts and recovering amines from decarbonized amine solutions.
