Description

Technical Field The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermogravimetric analysis, and relates to a thermogravimetric analysis device and method for microwave-assisted carbon dioxide capture. Background Art Thermogravimetric analysis is an important method for studying the characteristics of materials and reaction laws. Traditional thermogravimetric analysis technology provides heat energy to reaction materials through electric heating, which belongs to an external heating method. Microwave heating has the advantages of fast heating rate, uniform heating, easy control, energy saving, safety and no pollution, and produces a temperature gradient opposite to that of traditional electric heating, which may cause a change in the reaction path. Most of the existing thermogravimetric analysis devices adopt the electric heating method and cannot realize the real-time measurement of the weight of samples in a microwave environment. The existing microwave thermogravimetric analysis device technology is not perfect. For example, the microwave thermogravimetric analysis device disclosed in CN108680458A still has the following problems: 1) The microwave distribution is uneven, the controllability of the heating area for repeated tests is poor, the random error is large, and there is a risk of microwave leakage; 2) The balance bracket extends into the reaction chamber, there is a slight air leakage phenomenon, and the air leakage prevention device has a complex and redundant structure; 3) The gas cannot fully contact the sample, and the heat and mass transfer effects are not good. Carbon capture technology is a technology that separates CO 2 from industrial emission sources or the atmosphere to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and can play an important role in addressing global climate change and achieving the carbon neutrality goal. Thermogravimetric analysis can record the adsorption and regeneration processes of CO 2 in real time and accurately reflect the adsorption characteristics of materials. Microwave heating can reduce the energy consumption of CO 2 regeneration and increase the desorption rate of CO 2 , which is of great significance to the development of carbon capture technology. For example, CN109200749A discloses a temperature swing adsorption carbon capture system for microwave heating-assisted desorption process. This system uses microwave heating to desorb CO 2 , improving the desorption efficiency of CO 2 , but it does not monitor the adsorption / desorption data in real time, and this method cannot accurately and comprehensively reflect the adsorption / desorption status of CO 2 .

In the embodiment, the sample to be measured used is an adsorption-wave absorption dual-functional material, which is a mixed material of an adsorption component and a microwave absorption component. The adsorption component is 5A molecular sieve, and the microwave absorption component is SiC. The mass ratio of the adsorption component to the microwave absorption component is 1:1. The specific synthesis method is as follows: Mix 5A molecular sieve and SiC evenly to obtain the adsorption-wave absorption dual-functional material. The 5A molecular sieve used in the embodiment is produced by 3A Chem Company, with the product number A17090 and the property of powder; silicon carbide (SiC) is produced by Alfa Aesar Company, with the product number A14470 and an average particle size of 300 - 425 μm. The specific steps of the thermogravimetric analysis method for microwave-assisted CO 2 capture are as follows: 1) After heating and drying the adsorption-wave-absorbing dual-functional material in an oven at 100 °C for 2 h, take 1.0 g and place it on the sieve plate of the quartz tube, and record the weighing value of the balance before CO adsorption. 2 2) CO adsorption: 2 The CO adsorption is carried out at room temperature (25 °C). A mixed gas of 50 ml / min of CO and 50 ml / min of N is introduced from the inlet of the quartz tube. The mixed gas flows vertically through the adsorption-wave-absorbing dual-functional material from top to bottom to achieve the capture of CO in the simulated flue gas. The low-carbon flue gas after adsorption is discharged through the outlet of the quartz tube and enters the gas analyzer; record the real-time weighing value of the balance, and the time resolution of the balance is 0.05 s; subtract the weighing value of the balance before CO adsorption in step 1) from the real-time weighing value of the balance to obtain the adsorption value; at the same time, measure the temperature of the adsorption-wave-absorbing dual-functional material in real time; the adsorption time is set to 15 min. 2 2 2 2 2 3) CO desorption: 2 In the microwave-assisted reaction unit, the controller controls to turn on the power supply to make the magnetron generate microwaves. Set the microwave power to 500 W and the heating temperature to 250 °C; the microwaves are conducted to the circulator through the waveguide, and then conducted to the microwave cavity after being processed by the circulator. The quartz tube vertically passes through the microwave cavity, and the microwaves act on the adsorption-wave-absorbing dual-functional material through the quartz; at the same time, turn on the circulating water tank, and circulating water flows in the circulating water pipe; continue to introduce a mixed gas of 50 ml / min of CO and 50 ml / min of N from the inlet of the quartz tube. The gas after desorption is discharged through the outlet of the quartz tube and enters the gas analyzer; record the real-time weighing value of the balance and calculate the adsorption value, and measure the temperature of the adsorption-wave-absorbing dual-functional material in real time; the desorption time is set to 7.5 min. 2 2 4) Repeat steps 2) and 3) for 3 cycles. 5) Turn off the balance weight recording program, the short-wave infrared thermometer, the gas analyzer, and turn off the power supply in the microwave-assisted reaction unit. After detection, there is no air leakage in the thermogravimetric analysis device for microwave-assisted CO capture of the present invention during the processes of CO adsorption and desorption. 2 2 Taking time (s) as the abscissa and adsorption value (g) as the ordinate, statistically analyze the 3 cycles and draw a time-adsorption value curve, as shown in Figure 4 , and the weight data of the thermogravimetric system can intuitively reflect the capture situation of CO. 2 Figure 4It can be seen that the thermogravimetric analysis device and method for microwave-assisted CO 2 capture have fast adsorption and desorption processes, high efficiency, and still have good stability and strong repeatability after multiple cycle tests.
