[0040] The special processing unit 103 is connected with the control unit 102, and is used for controlling the start of the special sub-processing unit according to the data received by the control unit 102.

[0041] The gas-phase amine liquid loss monitoring device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application utilizes the gas sensitive element made of the multi-metal composite oxide material, introduces the multi-metal composite oxide, utilizes the heterojunction effect between the multi-metal and the oxide to improve the sensitivity of the multi-metal oxide material, and obtains the gas sensitive element with high selectivity to the organic amine volatile gas through the composite of the multi-metal oxide material.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, a microprocessor is arranged in the gas sensitive element, and the microprocessor is used for filtering, amplifying and digitizing the data of the monitored organic amine volatile gas.

[0046] The gas-phase amine liquid loss monitoring device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a microprocessor in the gas sensor, the microprocessor is used for filtering, amplifying and digitizing the data of the monitored organic amine volatile gas, so as to enhance the anti-interference ability and data accuracy of the signal, and the gas sensor is connected with a high-precision gas sampling module, the high-precision gas sampling module can accurately collect the sample of the organic amine volatile gas in the gas phase according to a preset sampling strategy, and the gas sensor has a periodic self-calibration function, so that the long-term stable and reliable monitoring performance is ensured.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, the gas-phase amine liquid loss monitoring device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises a carbon capture system, the carbon capture system is connected with the gas-phase amine liquid monitoring unit 101, and the carbon capture system is used for capturing carbon dioxide.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, the special treatment device comprises an adsorption unit, a regeneration unit and a cooling unit, the gas inlet of the adsorption unit is connected with the gas-phase outlet of the carbon capture system, and the adsorption unit is used for adsorbing the organic amine in the gas phase.

[0051] The special treatment unit 103 can start the corresponding sub-treatment unit according to the instruction of the control unit 102, so as to reduce the concentration of the organic amine volatile gas in the gas phase and the solvent, and further improve the operation efficiency and stability of the carbon capture system.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment, the regeneration unit performs regeneration treatment on the adsorbent by means of hot air purging or steam desorption, and recycles the adsorbent.

[0053] In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 102 comprises a data preprocessing module, the data preprocessing module is used for obtaining the average value of the organic amine concentration, and processing the average value of the organic amine concentration by an outlier rejection algorithm and a weighted average algorithm.

[0054] The control unit 102 provided by the embodiment of the present application has the function of receiving and processing the data from the gas-phase amine liquid monitoring device, and adaptively adjusts the process parameters of the carbon capture facility in real time according to the monitoring data and a preset process parameter adjustment model, and when the monitoring data indicates that the concentration of the organic amine is abnormal, the special treatment device is started to reduce the concentration of the organic amine in the gas phase and the solvent, so as to optimize the carbon capture process.

[0055] The control unit 102 is responsible for receiving and processing data from the gas-phase amine liquid monitoring unit 101. The control unit 102 first performs outlier rejection processing on the received organic amine volatile gas data, identifies and removes data points that deviate significantly from the normal range by comparing with the preset normal data range. Then, a weighted average algorithm is used to process the valid monitoring data within a period of time (for example, ten minutes) to obtain a more accurate average value of the organic amine concentration. According to this average value and the pre-established carbon capture process model, when the average value of the organic amine concentration is higher than a first threshold value (for example, 50 ppm), the speed of the amine liquid circulating pump is moderately reduced to reduce the circulation amount of the amine liquid in the system, thereby reducing the volatilization of the amine liquid in the gas phase; when the average value of the organic amine concentration is higher than a second threshold value (wherein the second threshold value is higher than the first threshold value, and the second threshold value can be 80 ppm), the temperature of the absorption tower is adjusted to reduce the temperature set value to weaken the volatilization trend of the amine liquid; when the average value of the organic amine concentration is higher than a third threshold value (wherein the third threshold value is higher than the second threshold value, and the second threshold value can be 100 ppm), the pressure of the absorption tower is further adjusted to reduce the pressure set value to reduce the gas-phase escape of the amine liquid. And when the organic amine concentration exceeds the set threshold value, the control unit 102 activates a special treatment device to reduce the concentration of organic amine in the gas phase and the solvent.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 102 further comprises a process parameter adjustment module;

[0057] The process parameter adjustment module is used to adjust the speed of the amine liquid circulating pump, the temperature and pressure of the absorption tower based on the average value of the organic amine concentration and the carbon capture process model under different organic amine concentration threshold conditions, thereby forming a circulating treatment loop of the adsorbent and ensuring the continuous and effective operation of the special treatment device.

[0058] In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 102 further comprises a temperature sensor for acquiring the temperature of the absorption tower.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, the control unit 102 further comprises a pressure sensor for acquiring the pressure of the absorption tower.

[0060] The special processing unit 103 activates the corresponding special sub-processing unit according to the instruction of the control unit 102 to reduce the concentration of the organic amine in the gas phase and the solvent. The adsorption unit is filled with adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and selectivity for organic amine, such as modified activated carbon, molecular sieve, etc., and the gas inlet is connected to the gas phase outlet of the carbon capture system through a pipeline. When the concentration of organic amine is too high, the gas phase flows through the adsorption unit, and the organic amine is adsorbed by the adsorbent to reduce the concentration of organic amine in the gas phase. The regeneration unit is connected to the adsorption unit, specifically through a pipeline connecting the adsorbent outlet of the adsorption unit and the inlet of the regeneration unit. When the adsorbent is saturated, the adsorbent can be transported to the regeneration unit for regeneration treatment. The regeneration unit can use hot air blowing or steam desorption to restore the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. The regenerated adsorbent can be sent back to the adsorption unit through a pipeline for recycling to reduce the operating cost. The cooling unit is connected to the regeneration unit, which functions to cool the regenerated adsorbent to restore the adsorbent to an appropriate working temperature.
