[0007] The second aspect of the present invention provides a flue gas carbon capture absorbent rich liquid regeneration method, wherein the CO rich 2The absorption solvent rich liquid is regenerated to obtain regeneration gas and absorption solvent lean liquid, wherein the regeneration gas is cooled and gas-liquid separated to obtain product gas and separation water, and then the separation water is returned to the regeneration gas for heat exchange and temperature increase, and then is used as the gas stripping gas in the regeneration process, and is sent to the absorption solvent rich liquid for regeneration and recycling.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, CO 2 The rich liquid of the absorption solvent is regenerated in the regeneration tower to obtain the regeneration gas and the lean liquid of the absorption solvent. After cooling and separating the water in the regeneration gas, CO can be obtained. 2 The gas is sent to the subsequent process, and the separated water is heated by heat exchange with the regeneration gas and then enters the regeneration tower from the bottom to enhance the gas lift of the absorption solvent rich liquid in the regeneration tower to reduce the regeneration energy consumption required for the absorption solvent rich liquid.

[0015] The regeneration gas outlet at the top of the regeneration tower is connected to the second fluid inlet of the first regeneration gas cooler, and the second fluid outlet of the first regeneration gas cooler is connected to the regeneration gas separator. The first stage of cooling uses separation water to exchange heat with the regeneration gas, so that the heat carried by the regeneration gas is recovered, which is conducive to reducing the regeneration energy consumption.
