Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide capture system and a carbon dioxide capture method capable of controlling the escape of organic amines, and in particular to a carbon dioxide capture system and a carbon dioxide capture method based on an amine-based absorbent, capable of controlling the escape of organic amines and promoting the recycling of organic amines, and belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture. Background Art

[0002] Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) accounts for more than 70%-80% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse effect caused by the continued growth of its emissions has brought about consequences such as global warming, which has attracted widespread attention from all over the world. Considering the current installed capacity of power generation and energy security needs, the thermal power industry will become a key area for the application of carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology. It is estimated that by 2060, 1 billion tons / year of CO 2 In addition, after improving production efficiency and reaching production peak, industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals still need to rely on CCUS technology to further reduce CO emissions. 2 .

[0003] In many CO 2 Among the capture technologies, organic amine chemical absorption has excellent CO 2 The separation capacity, low vapor pressure, low cost and good recyclability make it widely used in post-combustion capture of coal-fired / gas-fired power plants. However, there are still some problems in the actual operation of this technology, such as the absorbent and its degradation products (NH 3 The organic amines and their degradation products in the flue gas after carbon capture are likely to be discharged into the atmosphere with the flue gas after carbon capture, which will not only cause environmental pollution, but also lead to solvent loss and cost increase, thus restricting the large-scale application of this technology. Therefore, achieving deep emission reduction of organic amines and their degradation products in the flue gas after carbon capture is the prerequisite for the further promotion and development of organic amine chemical absorption technology.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have conducted a number of research attempts to solve the problem of pollutant emissions generated by organic amines in the carbon capture process. At present, common flue gas treatment devices after decarbonization mainly include water washing equipment and demisters. However, water washing equipment is not very effective in treating saturated gases such as organic amines, NH 3 The effect is not ideal, and the demister has limited efficiency in removing small-size aerosol particles. Although other methods such as wet electrostatic precipitator, acid cleaning, colloidal gas foam, and interstage cooling have been developed, some of them are still in the laboratory research stage or only have simulation results, and have not yet made a breakthrough in practical application.

[0005] Regarding the emission of organic amines, current research mainly focuses on how to control the emission of these pollutants, but the recovery of organic amines is rarely involved. In fact, taking the water washing process as an example, the amine concentration in the water washing liquid is very low (<4%) and cannot be directly reused in the carbon capture system; therefore, simply controlling the emission of organic amines is not enough to meet the recovery and concentration requirements under the circulation of absorbents in the actual operation of the carbon capture system. Therefore, how to design and implement a system that can effectively control the escape of amine-based absorbents and simultaneously achieve their recycling has become the key to reducing absorbent loss and secondary pollutant emissions during the large-scale application of amine-based absorption methods. Solving this problem is of great significance for improving carbon capture efficiency, reducing operating costs, and reducing environmental pollution.

[0006] Reference 1 discloses a waste gas collection device, which includes a dispersion tank, a spray dispersion pipe, a waste gas delivery pipe, a water inlet pipe, a sewage pipe, a circulation pump, a heat exchanger, a water supply pipe, a buffer condensation tank, and a vacuum pump. The device aims to address the problems of insufficient waste gas treatment and low efficiency generated during the production process of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes; however, the patent does not involve the escape of organic amines in the carbon dioxide capture system.

[0007] Reference 2 discloses a method for treating reverse osmosis concentrate, which includes water inlet, pretreatment unit, MABR biological treatment unit, phosphorus removal unit, sedimentation tank, and effluent, and is aimed at the problems of high salt content and difficulty in degrading pollutants in reverse osmosis concentrate from urban sewage treatment plants; however, this patent and the escape control and recycling of amine-based carbon capture absorbents are not related.

[0008] It can be seen that although patented technologies for waste gas collection and sewage treatment already exist, they do not touch upon the issues in the field of carbon capture. Therefore, how to effectively recover the escaped organic amines has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0087] The carbon dioxide capture system of the present invention not only helps to reduce the solvent loss caused by the escape of organic amines, but also can further reduce the system operation cost and improve the overall efficiency of carbon capture technology.

[0088] Absorption tower

[0089] The absorption tower 1 is a device for removing carbon dioxide from flue gas, and the absorption tower 1 may be provided with an absorption tower packing layer 11. An organic amine absorbent may be introduced into the absorption tower 1 of the present invention. The organic amine absorbent of the present invention may achieve carbon capture of carbon dioxide in flue gas in the absorption tower 1 and produce a mixed absorption liquid containing carbon dioxide.

[0090] The absorption tower 1 may include a flue gas inlet, a flue gas outlet after decarbonization, a lean phase absorbent inlet and a rich phase absorbent outlet. The flue gas inlet is generally located at the bottom of the absorption tower 1 for flue gas to flow in. The flue gas outlet after decarbonization is located at the top of the absorption tower 1 for flue gas to flow out. The lean phase absorbent inlet is located near the flue gas outlet for the inflow of one or more combinations of organic amine absorbent, regeneration absorbent and concentrated solution. The rich phase absorbent outlet is located near the flue gas inlet for discharging the rich phase absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide. The rich phase absorbent outlet of the absorption tower 1 can be connected to the rich phase absorbent inlet of the desorption tower 4 through a circulating pump 61 and a heat exchanger 5.

[0091] In the absorption tower 1, one or more of the organic amine absorbent, regenerative absorbent and concentrated solution flows from the top to the bottom, and the flue gas flows from the bottom to the top. Thus, the flue gas flowing into the absorption tower 1 is fully countercurrently contacted with one or more of the organic amine absorbent, regenerative absorbent and concentrated solution, and the carbon dioxide in the flue gas is absorbed by one or more of the organic amine absorbent, regenerative absorbent and concentrated solution to become a rich phase absorbent, which flows out from the rich phase absorbent outlet.

[0092] In some specific embodiments, the top of the absorption tower 1 is provided with an absorption tower demister 12, which is generally composed of a filler and a wire mesh filling layer. The absorption tower demister 12 is used to separate the absorbent liquid carried in the flue gas after carbon capture to reduce the absorbent escape loss.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, the organic amine absorbent includes organic amine. The present invention can improve the absorption capacity and rate of carbon dioxide by using organic amine. The organic amine includes a primary amine or a salt thereof, a secondary amine or a salt thereof, a tertiary amine or a salt thereof, or a quaternary amine or a salt thereof. Preferably, the organic amine includes ethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethylamine (TEA), N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA), dipropylenetriamine (DPTA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), tetramethyldipropylenetriamine (TMBPA), hydroxyethylethylenediamine (AEEA), pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA), triethylenetetramine (TETA), dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), isobutanolamine (AMP), diethylenetriamine (DETA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), piperazine (PZ) in one or a combination of two or more.

[0094] In some specific embodiments, the organic amine absorbent may also be a phase separation absorbent. Specifically, the phase separation absorbent may include an organic amine, a phase separation agent and water (H 2 O). Taking the total mass of the composite organic amine phase-change absorbent as 100%, the content of the organic amine is 20-50%, the content of the phase separation agent is 30-70%, and the content of water is 20-50%.

[0095] Specifically, the phase separation process of carbon dioxide after absorption can be achieved by using a phase change phase separation agent. In the present invention, a non-protonic polar solvent is used as a phase separation agent. Specifically, the phase separation agent includes one or a combination of two or more of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (NHD), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), cyclopentane sulfone (TMS), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetone (propanol), and 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (IL).

[0096] Furthermore, the organic amine absorbent of the present invention may also contain inorganic ammonia, for example, some ammonia water or the like.

[0097] Desorption tower

[0098] The desorber 4 of the present invention is used to desorb the rich phase absorbent to obtain the regenerated absorbent, and the desorber 1 may be provided with a desorber packing layer 43. The desorber 4 of the present invention includes a rich phase absorbent inlet and a regenerated absorbent outlet. The regenerated absorbent outlet of the desorber 4 of the present invention may be connected to the lean phase absorbent inlet of the absorber 1 through a circulating pump 62 and a heat exchanger 5.

[0099] The present invention realizes desorption of carbon dioxide by allowing the rich phase absorbent to exchange heat with the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange flow path in the heat exchanger 5, and further allows the regenerated absorbent to exchange heat with the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange flow path, thereby saving energy consumption on the heat exchange flow path and increasing the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of the regenerated absorbent refluxed to the absorption tower 1. In addition, the heat exchange medium in the heat exchanger 5 can be one of a gas phase medium and a liquid medium, wherein the gas phase medium can be water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc., and the liquid phase medium can be water, heat transfer oil, etc.

[0100] In some specific embodiments, a desorption tower demister 44 is provided at the top of the desorption tower 4. The desorption tower demister 44 is generally composed of a filler and a wire mesh filling layer. The desorption tower demister 44 of the present invention is used to separate the absorbent droplets carried in the regeneration gas generated after desorption.

[0101] In some specific embodiments, a condenser 41 is provided at the top of the desorption tower 4. The condenser 41 is used to condense the gas phase components generated after desorption to obtain a condensed gas phase composition and a condensed liquid phase composition. The condensed gas phase composition can be discharged from the desorption tower 4, and the condensed liquid phase composition can be reused in the desorption tower 4.

Since the water washing device 2 is arranged inside the absorption tower 1, there is no need to set a flue gas inlet after decarbonization.
