Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of blast furnace gas treatment, in particular to a blast furnace gas carbon capture pretreatment system and adsorption and desorption method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The CO2 in the steel industry mainly comes from the emission of the gas in the blast furnace process. For every ton of pig iron produced, 1300-1600 m 3 of blast furnace gas is generated. The blast furnace gas mainly contains N2 (40-60%), CO2 (15-30%), CO (20-30%), H2 (1-3%), CH4 (0.2-0.5%), and other combustible gases, and O2 (0.2-0.4%), H2O (6-8%), H2S / COS (100-200 ppm), and other impurity gases. In addition, it also contains a certain pressure and temperature. The capture of CO2 from blast furnace gas can reduce the CO2 emission of steel production.

[0003] For the reduction of CO2 in the blast furnace process, the adsorption capture method is a promising carbon reduction technology. According to the process requirements, the application of the adsorption method at present mainly includes the combination of temperature swing adsorption and pressure swing adsorption. This technology uses the selective adsorption of adsorbents for the adsorption performance difference of different gases. The temperature swing adsorption method is usually used for the pretreatment of blast furnace gas to remove the impurity gases in the gas and reduce the influence of impurity gases on carbon capture, so as to ensure the efficient capture of CO2 by the subsequent carbon capture device. Then, the pressure swing adsorption method is used for the capture of CO2 in blast furnace gas to obtain high-concentration CO2 gas. The temperature of blast furnace gas is generally above 100℃, which is not conducive to gas adsorption. The cooling treatment will cause waste of heat, resulting in the inability to utilize the heat.

[0062] This embodiment is illustrated by taking steel blast furnace gas as the raw gas for CO2 capture. The composition of the raw gas is shown in Table 1.

[0063] Table 1

[0064]

[0065] The blast furnace gas is cooled to a temperature of 40°C, and then enters the pressure swing adsorption mechanism 2 for CO2 capture. Finally, high-concentration CO2 gas 4 is obtained.

[0066] The composition of the obtained high-concentration CO2 gas 4 is shown in Table 2.

[0068]

[0069] Further, the composition of the blast furnace gas raw gas is the same, the blast furnace gas temperature is 120°C, and the blast furnace gas temperature after cooling is 60°C.
