Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture absorbent, and particularly relates to an energy-saving and environment-friendly phase change CO2 capture absorbent. BACKGROUND

[0002] The combustion of fossil energy leads to a large amount of carbon dioxide emission, and controlling CO2 emission is the most feasible measure to alleviate global climate warming. The carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is one of the effective strategies to greatly reduce CO2 emission. In view of the large amount of carbon emission and the difficulty of capture in coal-fired power plants, compared with other technologies such as physical adsorption and membrane absorption, the chemical absorption method is a relatively perfect and most widely used post-combustion capture path, and the chemical absorbent used in the chemical absorption method is mainly a relatively mature organic amine solvent system. However, the traditional organic amine method also has the disadvantage of high energy consumption, and the regeneration energy consumption accounts for more than 60%, so the high energy consumption greatly limits its development.

[0003] Existing research has shifted from single or multi-component amine absorbent to phase change absorbent (two-phase absorbent), low-water absorbent and ionic liquid. Because the ionic liquid has too large viscosity and high energy consumption and cost, it is temporarily difficult to be industrialized. Therefore, the formation of two incompatible phase change solvents by carbon dioxide absorption has attracted more and more interest. Compared with the traditional chemical absorbent, the phase change solvent system represents a kind of material that is expected to significantly reduce the regeneration energy consumption. Compared with the non-phase change process, only the rich phase needs to be regenerated, so the energy consumption demand is significantly reduced.

[0004] The phase change absorbent can be divided into two phase change modes of phase change delamination after absorption and phase change delamination after regeneration, but the research focus is mainly on the absorption system of phase change delamination after absorption. The liquid-liquid phase change absorbent is usually composed of amine, organic solvent and water, and can be divided into single phase change absorbent, multi-component mixed absorbent and water-free absorbent according to the solution system. However, the existing phase change absorbent still has the disadvantages of small absorption capacity, low desorption efficiency, unstable phase separation and high regeneration energy consumption. Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide an energy-saving and environment-friendly phase change CO2 capture absorbent. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture absorbent, and particularly relates to an energy-saving and environment-friendly phase change CO2 capture absorbent.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0007] An energy-saving and environment-friendly phase-change CO2 capture absorbent is a mixed liquid prepared from the following components in percentage by mass: 20%-30% hydroxyethylethylenediamine, 20-30% NN diethylhydroxylamine, and 50-60% solvent.

[0008] Furthermore, the absorbent also includes nanoparticle strengthener iron oxide.

[0009] Preferably, the amount of the nanoparticle strengthening agent iron oxide added is 1.5%-2.0% of the mass of the mixed solution.

[0010] Preferably, the absorbent is a mixed liquid prepared by configuring the following components in percentage by mass: 20% hydroxyethylethylenediamine, 30% NN diethylhydroxylamine, and 50% solvent; the absorbent also includes nanoparticle strengthener iron oxide, and the amount of nanoparticle strengthener iron oxide added is 2.0% of the mass of the mixed liquid.

[0011] Preferably, the solvent is one of sulfolane, n-propanol, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The CO2 capture absorbent in the present invention can increase the absorption capacity of CO2 and improve the capture rate of CO2, while also reducing regeneration energy consumption and improving the desorption effect, thereby achieving the energy-saving and environmentally friendly treatment requirements of CO2 capture.

[0022] Preparation method: AEEA and DEHA are weighed according to a ratio and added into a container, and then sulfolane is added, and the mixture is stirred evenly to obtain a phase change CO2 capture absorbent.

[0023] Process for testing the absorption performance of the absorbent: Place the container containing the absorbent of this embodiment in a 40°C constant temperature water bath and keep it warm to 40°C, then introduce high-purity carbon dioxide gas until the absorbent is saturated with absorption. During the absorption process, the absorption load of the phase change absorption solvent is recorded using the difference between the mass flow meter and the wet flow meter. By differentiating the relationship between the absorption load and time, the relationship between the absorption rate of the solution and time can be obtained. The rich phase after absorption is placed in a 130°C oil bath for heating and desorption, and the wet flow meter value is recorded as the desorption load of the solvent. By differentiating the relationship between the desorption load and time, the relationship between the desorption rate of the solution and time can be obtained.
