By cooling the absorbent, the absorbent can absorb as much CO as possible in one cycle. 2 , to improve the CO 2 The absorption efficiency is improved and the power consumption of the absorbent cycle is reduced.

[0033] The liquid inlet of the electrolyte preheating tank 3 is connected to the liquid outlet of the lower tower body 12, and is used to receive the absorbent (rich liquid) and preheat it so that the absorbent reaches a temperature suitable for electrolysis, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0034] The electrolytic cell 4 includes a rich liquid inlet 41, a lean liquid outlet 42 and an exhaust port 43. The rich liquid inlet 41 is connected to the liquid outlet of the lower tower body 12, the lean liquid outlet 42 is connected to the liquid inlet of the upper tower body 11, and the exhaust port 43 is suitable for connecting to the downstream collection pipeline. In the electrolytic cell 4, the absorbent (rich liquid) is regenerated through an electrochemical process, and CO is released at the same time. 2The regenerated absorbent (lean liquid) flows out through the lean liquid outlet 42 and returns to the upper tower body 11 for reuse. The exhaust port 43 removes the CO generated during the electrolysis process. 2 The gas is discharged into the downstream collection pipeline for treatment.

[0035] The heat exchange assembly 5 includes a first heat exchange tube 51, a second heat exchange tube 52 and a first circulation pump 53 which are connected end to end in sequence.

Flow of mixed gas: containing CO 2 The mixed gas enters the lower tower body 12 through the upstream feed pipe and contacts the absorbent entering the lower tower body 12 ; then the mixed gas enters the upper tower body 11 through the lower tower body 12 and contacts the absorbent entering the upper tower body 11 .

[0038] 2. Circulation of absorbent: The absorbent (lean liquid) enters the upper tower body 11 and contacts with the mixed gas in the upper tower body 11 to absorb CO in the mixed gas. 2 Absorbs a certain amount of CO 2 The absorbent (semi-lean liquid) flows into the cooling tank 2 and exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium in the cooling tank 2 to cool down; the cooled absorbent flows into the lower tower body 12 to cool the CO 2 Absorb; absorb CO 2 The absorbed liquid (rich liquid) flows into the electrolyte preheating tank 3 and is heated by heat exchange with the heat exchange medium in the electrolyte preheating tank 3; the heated absorbent enters the electrolytic cell 4 for electrochemical process to be regenerated into lean liquid, and then the lean liquid flows into the upper tower body 11 to complete a cycle.

[0039] 3. Circulation of heat exchange medium: The heat exchange medium in the cooling tank 2 exchanges heat with the absorbent to increase its temperature, and while cooling the absorbent, this part of heat is recovered and stored; the heated absorbent flows into the electrolyte preheating tank 3 to release this part of heat, and the absorbent in the electrolyte preheating tank 3 absorbs the heat to increase its temperature, thereby utilizing this part of heat; the absorbent after releasing the heat flows back into the cooling tank 2 to complete a cycle.

[0040] The electrochemical mediated amine regeneration method for capturing CO in the embodiment of the present invention 2The system uses a heat pump to cool the absorbent and bring heat to the electrolytic cell 4 for heating. The absorbent adsorption amount increases as the temperature decreases. After cooling through the intermediate cooling tank 2, the adsorption effect can be improved.
