Description

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid growth of the global economy, carbon dioxide emissions have risen sharply, posing a severe challenge to the ecological environment. Faced with the dual pressures of global climate change and energy crisis, human society urgently needs to explore new technologies for efficient and clean energy conversion and utilization to ensure sustainable development. In this context, capturing carbon dioxide and converting it into usable carbon resources has become a hot technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve.

[0003] Combustion is still the main technical method for utilizing carbon-based fuels, and carbon capture and conversion technology is integrated into the combustion system. The current field of carbon dioxide capture and conversion still faces many technical difficulties and challenges. On the one hand, traditional capture and conversion processes often require additional electricity or heat input, which not only increases energy consumption, but may also weaken emission reduction results due to carbon emissions in the energy production process. On the other hand, the storage and long-distance transportation of conversion products have greatly increased economic costs, and there is also a potential risk of leakage, which seriously restricts its large-scale application.

[0004] Among the reduction products of carbon dioxide, alcohols have great potential for industrial application due to their high energy density, ease of transportation and storage, relatively clean combustion, and can be directly applied to combustion systems. However, compared with coal and gasoline, the lower calorific value of alcohols poses a challenge to the combustion stability of the burner.

[0039] The specific auxiliary combustion method of solar-driven carbon capture and conversion is as follows:

[0040] In the hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 In the capture unit 1, the flue gas generated by the combustion of carbon-based fuel in the combustion equipment 1-1 first enters the flue gas purification device 1-2 to remove impurities such as large particles, soluble pollutants and nitrogen oxides, and then the gas is cooled to room temperature and sent to the hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 Capture device 1-3, hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 Capture device 1-3 uses 0.5 mol·L -1 The diethanolamine solution was used as the absorption liquid, and nano-SiO 2 The polyvinylidene fluoride membrane modified by self-assembly method is used as the hydrophobic membrane. The effective area of ​​the membrane module is 1m 2 , the flue gas and the absorption liquid flow in countercurrent on both sides of the membrane, CO 2 Under the driving force of concentration gradient, it diffuses through the membrane pores to the gas-liquid contact surface, forms a gas-liquid mixture with the absorbent, and then enters the gas-liquid separator 1-4. The separated diethanolamine absorbent flows to the first heater 1-6. The first light collector 1-5 collects solar energy to heat the first heater 1-6 to 120°C, realizing thermal regeneration of the absorbent. The absorbent flows back to the hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 Capture devices 1-3 are used in cycles, and CO 2 The photoelectric synergistic catalytic CO enters through the first flow regulating valve 1-7 2 Reduction unit 2.

[0041] Photocatalytic CO 2 The reduction unit 2 includes a photoelectrochemical cell 2-1, a second light collector 2-2, a photovoltaic panel 2-3, a collection tank 2-4, and a second flow regulating valve 2-5. A part of the sunlight collected by the second light collector 2-2 is directly transported to the photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 as a light source, and the other part is converted into electrical energy by the photovoltaic panel 2-3 and then transported to the photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 as a power source. The photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 is a flow-type photoelectrochemical cell, which uses highly active FeS 2 / TiO 2 The catalyst is loaded on the gas diffusion electrode to achieve CO 2 To the efficient photoelectric coordinated catalytic reduction of ethanol, the anode outlet of the photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 is connected to the oxygen-rich combustion adjustment unit 3, and the cathode outlet is connected to the collection tank 2-4, and the liquid phase product containing ethanol is sent to the organic polymer membrane pervaporation dealcoholization unit 4 through the second flow regulating valve 2-5;

[0042] The gas drying device 3-1 of the oxygen-enriched combustion regulating unit 3 uses a drying tube filled with a small molecular sieve desiccant to dry the gas from the photoelectric synergistic catalytic CO 2The oxygen output from the reduction unit 2 is quickly dried and stored in the oxygen storage tank 3-2. The oxygen is then fed back to the hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 via the third flow regulating valve 3-3 at an appropriate flow rate according to the combustion conditions. 2 The combustion device 1-1 of the capture unit 1 performs oxygen-enriched combustion;

[0043] In the organic polymer membrane pervaporation alcohol removal unit 4, the second heater 4-2 cooperates with the photoelectric catalysis CO 2 The liquid product is preheated to 60°C by using the solar energy collected by the third light collector 4-1, and then sent to the organic polymer membrane pervaporation alcohol removal device 4-3. The organic polymer membrane pervaporation alcohol removal device 4-3 uses an ultra-thin polydimethylsiloxane membrane modified with a zeolite imidazole ester framework, and the effective membrane area is 0.5m 2 The separated ethanol is condensed by condenser 4-4 and transported to alcohol storage tank 4-5, and finally transported to hydrophobic membrane-based CO through fourth flow regulating valve 4-6 according to the combustion conditions. 2 The combustion device 1-1 of the capture unit 1 acts as an auxiliary fuel. At the same time, the dealcoholized electrolyte is returned to the photoelectric catalytic CO 2 The photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 of the reduction unit 2 is circulated for use.

[0044] After multiple tests and verifications, the hydrophobic membrane-based CO 2 Capture device 1-3 for CO in motor vehicle exhaust 2 The capture efficiency can reach 40% to 60%, the Faraday efficiency of the photoelectrochemical cell 2-1 for reducing alcohols is 25% to 40%, and the separation efficiency of the organic polymer membrane pervaporation dealcoholization device 4-3 for alcohols reaches 80% to 95%. Overall, the combustion efficiency of the combustion system is improved by 5% to 15%, and the fuel consumption is reduced by 5% to 10%. After oxygen-enriched combustion adjustment, the combustion of alcohols as auxiliary fuel further reduces carbon emissions, and has no obvious negative impact on the combustion performance.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
