DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] For specific embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 1-2 The present invention is a carbon recovery and processing device for ships, comprising a flue gas manufacturing module, a pretreatment module, an absorption module, a desorption module, a condensation module, a drying module, a liquefaction module and a storage module; the absorption module comprises a lean liquid tank 1 and a rich liquid tank 2 which are connected internally; an adsorbent 3 is stored in the lean liquid tank 1; the main component of the adsorbent 3 is ammonia water; a decarbonizing agent 4 is stored in the rich liquid tank 2; the main component of the decarbonizing agent 4 is ammonia water after absorbing CO2; an air inlet pipe 5 and an air outlet pipe 6 are respectively passed through and fixed on the rich liquid tank 2; the air inlet pipe 5 is connected to the pretreatment module; the air outlet pipe 6 is connected to the outside atmosphere; the air inlet pipe 5 extends into the liquid of the decarbonizing agent 4; the rich liquid tank 2 is connected to the desorption module; a liquid inlet pipe 7 and a liquid outlet pipe 8 are respectively passed through and fixed on the lean liquid tank 1; the liquid inlet pipe 7 is connected to the desorption module; the liquid outlet pipe 8 is connected to the inside of the rich liquid tank 2; the liquid outlet pipe 8 extends into the liquid of the adsorbent 3.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is: first, the flue gas production module generates flue gas, which then enters the processing module for flue gas pretreatment to separate solid particles and impurities in the flue gas from the flue gas, and the pretreated flue gas enters the absorption module for chemical adsorption.

[0028] First, the adsorbent 3 is extracted from the lean liquid tank 1 through the liquid outlet pipe 8 and transported into the rich liquid tank 2, and then the pretreated flue gas enters the adsorbent 3 through the air inlet pipe 5. The adsorbent 3 absorbs the CO2 in the flue gas, so that the adsorbent 3 in the rich liquid tank 2 becomes a decarbonizer 4 containing CO2. The flue gas with CO2 absorbed flows to the outside atmosphere through the air outlet pipe 6, and then the decarbonizer 4 enters the desorption module to separate CO2. The separated CO2 enters the condensation module for condensation, the drying module for drying, the liquefaction module for liquefaction, and finally enters the storage module for storage.

[0029] In this embodiment, ammonia water is used as the absorbent, and the following chemical properties of ammonia water are utilized:

[0030]

[0031] The CO2 in the flue gas is absorbed and treated, and the ammonia captures CO2 and reacts to generate a by-product, ammonium bicarbonate, which can be directly used as agricultural fertilizer. This not only solves the problem of ammonia escape during the decarbonization process, but also can generate certain economic benefits.

[0032] For specific embodiment 2, please refer to Figure 1-2 On the basis of the specific embodiment 1, the smoke manufacturing module includes a main unit 9, a generator 10 and an induced draft fan 11; the induced draft fan 11 is respectively provided with an air inlet pipe 12 and an air outlet pipe 13; the air inlet pipe 12 is connected to the main unit 9 and the generator 10; the air outlet pipe 13 is connected to the pretreatment module.

[0033] Specifically, the pretreatment module includes a flue gas scrubber 14 and a flue gas scrubber pump 15; the water suction end of the flue gas scrubber pump 15 is connected to anhydrous alcohol, and its water outlet end is connected to the inside of the flue gas scrubber 14; the flue gas scrubber 14 is used to treat solid particles and impurities in the flue gas; the gas outlet end of the flue gas scrubber 14 is connected to the air inlet pipe 5; the gas outlet end of the flue gas scrubber 14 is provided with a velocity sensor and a concentration detector; the velocity sensor is used to detect the gas flow rate; the concentration detector is used to detect the CO2 concentration.

[0034] Furthermore, the desorption module includes a desorber 16 and a heater 17; the desorber 16 is used to separate the CO2 in the decarbonizer 4; a recovery pipe 18 is connected between the desorber 16 and the liquid inlet pipe 7; a liquid suction pipe 19 is connected between the desorber 16 and the rich liquid tank 2; the liquid suction pipe 19 runs through the interior of the heater 17; the desorber 16 is connected to the condensation module.

[0035] Furthermore, the condensation module includes a condenser 20; the condenser 20 is used to condense the CO2 separated by the desorber 16; the air inlet end of the condenser 20 is connected to the desorber 16, and the air outlet end thereof is connected to the drying module.

[0036] Furthermore, the drying module includes a dryer 21; the dryer 21 is used to remove excess moisture from the CO2 gas; the air inlet end of the dryer 21 is connected to the condenser 20, and the air outlet end thereof is connected to the liquefaction module.

[0037] Furthermore, the liquefaction module includes a liquefier 22; the liquefier 22 is used to liquefy CO2; the air inlet end of the liquefier 22 is connected to the dryer 21, and the air outlet end thereof is connected to the storage module.

[0038] Furthermore, the storage module includes a CO2 storage tank 23 ; the CO2 storage tank 23 is connected to the inside of the liquefier 22 .

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is: first, the main unit 9 and the generator 10 of the flue gas manufacturing module generate flue gas, and the induced draft fan 11 sucks the flue gas generated by the main unit 9 and the generator 10 through the air inlet pipe 12 and transports it to the inside of the flue gas washing tower 14 of the pretreatment module through the air outlet pipe 13.

[0040] The flue gas washing pump 15 extracts anhydrous ethanol and transports it to the inside of the flue gas washing tower 12 to separate the solid particles and impurities in the flue gas. Then the pretreated flue gas enters the rich liquid tank 2 of the absorption module from the outlet end of the flue gas washing tower 14. The speed sensor and concentration detector at the outlet end of the flue gas washing tower 14 are used to detect the gas flow rate and CO2 concentration respectively, thereby changing the speed of the induced draft fan 11 to transport the flue gas and the amount of adsorbent 3 added to the lean liquid tank 1.

[0041] The pretreated flue gas enters the rich liquid tank 2 from the air inlet pipe 5. The adsorbent 3 is extracted from the lean liquid tank 1 in advance through the liquid outlet pipe 8 in the rich liquid tank 2. The adsorbent 3 absorbs the CO2 in the flue gas, so that the adsorbent 3 in the rich liquid tank 2 is converted into a decarbonizer 4 containing CO2. The flue gas after absorption does not contain CO2 and flows to the outside atmosphere through the air outlet pipe 6. Then, the decarbonizer 4 inside the rich liquid tank 2 is sucked into the desorber 16 of the desorption module through the liquid suction pipe 19 for desorption.

[0042] When the liquid suction pipe 19 passes through the heater 17, the temperature of the decarbonizer 4 is increased, and then the decarbonizer 4 enters the desorber 16 to separate the CO2 inside the decarbonizer 4. After the CO2 is separated, the decarbonizer 4 becomes an adsorbent 3 that does not contain CO2, and then is transported into the lean liquid tank 1 through the recovery pipe 18 and the liquid inlet pipe 7 for recovery and reuse, and the separated CO2 enters the condensation module.

[0043] The CO2 enters the condenser 20 of the condensation module to be condensed, and then the condensed CO2 enters the drying module.

[0044] The CO2 enters the dryer 21 of the drying module for drying, and the excess water in the CO2 gas is removed, and then the dried CO2 enters the liquefaction module.

[0045] The CO2 enters the liquefier 22 of the liquefaction module for liquefaction treatment, which changes the CO2 from gas to liquid, and then the liquefied CO2 enters the storage module.

[0046] The CO2 entering the storage module is collected in the CO2 storage tank 23 for collection and utilization, preventing the CO2 from flowing into the atmosphere.
