[0036] In this specific embodiment, the first weight sensing component is a first weight sensor, the second weight sensing component is a second weight sensor, and the intermediate containing component 6 is an intermediate containing box.

[0044] This embodiment also provides a method for using a device for online measuring CO2 load of an absorbent in a carbon capture system, comprising the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Control the first control component 5 through the controller 25 so that the outlet of the first liquid storage component 2 is connected to the inlet of the intermediate holding weighing mechanism, so that the solution to be tested enters the intermediate holding weighing mechanism for weighing. When the solution to be tested in the intermediate holding weighing mechanism reaches the set weight, control the first control component 5 through the controller 25 so that the outlet of the first liquid storage component 2 is disconnected from the inlet of the intermediate holding weighing mechanism.

[0046] Specifically, the controller 25 controls the first three-way solenoid valve to connect the first pipeline 18 and the second pipeline 19, so that the solution to be detected enters the intermediate holding component 6. The second weight sensing component at the lower part of the intermediate holding component 6 monitors the weight of the solution to be detected. When the set weight is reached, the controller 25 controls the first three-way solenoid valve to disconnect the first pipeline 18 and the second pipeline 19. The weight of the solution to be detected is recorded as m1.

[0047] Step 2: Control the second control component 7 through the controller 25 so that the outlet of the second liquid storage component 3 is connected to the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 15, and the sulfuric acid solution enters the liquid chamber 11 of the reaction mechanism through the liquid inlet pipe 15. The sulfuric acid solution flowing into the liquid chamber 11 is weighed by the first weight sensing component. When the sulfuric acid solution in the liquid chamber 11 reaches the set weight, the controller 25 controls the second control component 7 so that the outlet of the second liquid storage component 3 is disconnected from the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 15.

[0048] Specifically, the controller 25 controls the second three-way solenoid valve to connect the fifth pipeline 22 and the liquid inlet pipe 15, so that the sulfuric acid solution enters the liquid chamber 11. The first weight sensing component at the lower part of the inner shell 9 monitors the weight of the sulfuric acid solution. When the set weight is reached, the controller 25 controls the second three-way solenoid valve to disconnect the fifth pipeline 22 from the liquid inlet pipe 15. The weight of the sulfuric acid solution is recorded as m2.

[0049] Step 3: Open the first control valve through the controller 25, and control the second control component 7 so that the outlet of the intermediate weighing mechanism is connected to the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe 15, so that a certain weight of the solution to be tested in the intermediate weighing mechanism flows into the liquid chamber 11 and reacts with a certain weight of sulfuric acid solution. The CO2 generated during the reaction enters the gas chamber 12 through the waterproof and breathable component 10 and is pumped to the outside by the exhaust component 14. The mass of the post-reaction solution in the liquid chamber 11 is obtained through the first weight sensing component, and the CO2 content in the solution to be tested can be calculated.

[0050] Specifically, after opening the first control valve, the controller 25 controls the second three-way solenoid valve to connect the fourth line 21 to the liquid inlet pipe 15, allowing the test solution in the intermediate holding component 6 to enter the liquid chamber 11. The test solution reacts with the sulfuric acid solution to produce CO2, which enters the gas chamber 12 through the waterproof and breathable component 10 and is pumped to the outside by the exhaust component 14. The mass m3 after stabilization is recorded, and the CO2 content in the test solution can be calculated. The CO2 content in the test solution can be calculated by dividing the weight m1 of the test solution by m1+m2-m3.

[0051] When a measurement is completed, the first control valve is in the open state, and the fourth pipeline 21 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 15. At this time, the controller 25 controls the drain valve to open, so that the waste liquid in the liquid chamber 11 flows into the waste liquid holding component 17. The controller 25 opens the second control valve 24, so that the clean water in the third liquid storage component 4 flows into the intermediate holding component 6 to clean the intermediate holding component 6, and then enters the liquid chamber 11 through the fourth pipeline 21 and the liquid inlet pipe 15 to clean the liquid chamber 11. The cleaned water flows from the drain pipe 16 to the waste liquid holding component 17. That is, in this embodiment, the cleaning of the intermediate holding component 6 and the liquid chamber 11 can be achieved, avoiding the influence of the solution left over from the previous measurement on the subsequent measurements, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0052] When the overall measurement is completed, the controller 25 controls the first three-way solenoid valve to connect the first pipeline 18 and the third pipeline 20 , so that the solution to be tested in the first liquid storage component 2 flows into the waste liquid holding component 17 .

[0053] This specification uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

10. A method for using the device for online measuring CO2 load of an absorbent in a carbon capture system according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: Controlling the first control component via the controller so that the outlet of the first liquid storage component is connected to the inlet of the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism, so that the solution to be tested enters the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism for weighing; when the solution to be tested in the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism reaches a set weight, controlling the first control component via the controller so that the outlet of the first liquid storage component is disconnected from the inlet of the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism; Step 2: Controlling the second control component via the controller so that the outlet of the second liquid storage component is connected to the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe, so that the sulfuric acid solution enters the liquid chamber of the reaction mechanism through the liquid inlet pipe, and weighing the sulfuric acid solution flowing into the liquid chamber via the first weight sensing component. When the sulfuric acid solution in the liquid chamber reaches a set weight, controlling the second control component via the controller so that the outlet of the second liquid storage component is disconnected from the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe; Step three: Open the first control valve through the controller, and control the second control component so that the outlet of the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism is connected to the inlet of the liquid inlet pipe, so that a certain weight of the solution to be tested in the intermediate holding and weighing mechanism flows into the liquid cavity and reacts with a certain weight of sulfuric acid solution. The CO2 generated during the reaction enters the gas cavity through the waterproof and breathable component and is pumped to the outside by the exhaust component. The mass of the post-reaction solution in the liquid cavity is obtained through the first weight sensing component, and the CO2 content in the solution to be tested can be calculated.
