Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of carbon capture absorbent regeneration, and in particular to an online purification system method and system for alcohol amine absorbents. Background Art

[0002] Carbon capture technology is an effective technology for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. At present, large-scale carbon dioxide capture systems mainly use chemical absorption methods with alcohol amine solution as absorbent. During long-term operation, alcohol amines will gradually degrade and produce impurities, resulting in performance degradation and even irreversible inactivation. The impurity components are complex and usually fall into three main categories, namely, suspended solids (fine dust), ionic salts (thermally stable salts), and molecular impurities (partial degradation, polymerization products). The three impurities require different treatment methods due to their different sources.

[0003] At present, there are three main technologies for purifying alcohol amine absorbents. The first is to use an activated carbon three-stage filtration device for online purification, which has the disadvantages of being difficult to remove heat-stable salts and fine dust and easy to clog; the second is to use ion exchange or electrodialysis technology to purify ionic impurities online, which can only remove ionic impurities, and cannot eliminate solid suspended matter and molecular impurities; the third is to use an evaporation device to recover organic amines for offline purification, which has the disadvantages of being unable to slow down the degradation of organic amines and causing large amine losses, and needs to be carried out offline, involving cumbersome steps such as replacing absorbents. Due to the defects of the above three technologies, it is difficult for the existing technology to achieve online and efficient purification of alcohol amine absorbents, which is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of the carbon capture system. It is necessary to develop an efficient and easy-to-operate online purification system and method. Summary of the invention

The system includes a nanofiltration unit, an ion exchange unit and a reverse osmosis device, has a simple structure, can be directly connected to the carbon capture system for use, and realizes online purification; the desalted water recovered by the reverse osmosis device can be returned as dilution water for recycling, saving purification costs.

[0033] The present invention provides an online purification method for an alcoholamine absorbent, comprising the following steps:

[0034] (S1) diluting the impurity-containing alcohol amine absorbent with deionized water, and then subjecting the diluted absorbent to nanofiltration treatment;

[0035] (S2) conditioning the absorbent after the nanofiltration treatment with an alkaline substance, and then performing ion exchange between the conditioned absorbent and an anion exchange resin;

[0036] (S3) concentrating the absorbent after ion exchange by reverse osmosis;

[0037] Wherein, the alcohol amine absorbent is at least one of monoethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine.

[0038] In the method of the present invention, preferably, in step (S1), the volume of the alcohol amine absorbent containing impurities is diluted by 2-5 times with the deionized water. In a specific embodiment, the volume of the alcohol amine absorbent containing impurities can be diluted by 2 times, 3 times, 4 times or 5 times with the deionized water. In the present invention, the use of deionized water to dilute the alcohol amine absorbent containing impurities from the carbon capture system can reduce the viscosity of the absorbent, and is beneficial to subsequent nanofiltration treatment and ion exchange, thereby improving the impurity removal efficiency.

Most preferably, the nanofiltration membrane used in the nanofiltration treatment process allows a molecular weight range of 60-400 to pass. In the present invention, the use of a nanofiltration membrane in the above range can effectively filter out suspended solids with a larger particle size span (0.5-200μm) and larger molecular weight molecular impurities produced by the polymerization and degradation of alcoholamine absorbents, thereby ensuring better impurity removal effect and purification efficiency. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, various types of commercially available nanofiltration membranes within the above filtration range can be selected.

[0043] In the method of the present invention, preferably, in step (S2), the anion exchange resin is a strongly basic anion exchange resin type I or a strongly basic styrene anion exchange resin. More preferably, the anion exchange resin is a strongly basic anion exchange resin type I (OH type) or a strongly basic styrene anion exchange resin.
