Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture, and in particular relates to a carbon dioxide capture system and a carbon dioxide capture method. Background Art

[0002] As global CO2 emissions increase, global warming and climate change are exacerbating their impacts. To address this issue, both domestic and international efforts are exploring the use of CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies to reduce CO2 emissions while meeting energy needs. CO2 capture refers to the process of separating and collecting CO2 from exhaust gases emitted by emission sources (such as power plants, steel mills, and refineries). It is the foundation and prerequisite for the development of CCUS technology. CO2 capture methods primarily include chemical absorption, physical absorption, and membrane separation. Chemical absorption is currently the most widely used method for CO2 capture. Chemical absorption involves absorption and desorption. The absorption process involves contacting CO2 with a chemical absorbent, absorbing the CO2 into the absorbent. The desorption process involves desorbing the absorbent, which has become saturated with CO2, to achieve regeneration. The traditional desorption process uses steam as a heat source, heating the desorption temperature to 110-130°C for thermal regeneration. Since water accounts for about 50-70% of the absorbent, the invalid heat such as sensible heat and latent heat of water leads to the problems of high energy consumption and low steam utilization rate in the existing carbon capture process. The cost of carbon capture is as high as 400-500 yuan / ton of CO2, which seriously hinders the promotion and application of chemical absorption method. Summary of the Invention

Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the catalytic module 502.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a second random packing catalyst 311 and a second waveguide tube 309 are arranged in the kettle of the microwave desorption tower 601, and a second magnetron assembly 310 is arranged on the outer wall of the kettle of the microwave desorption tower 601; a third filler 602 is arranged in the upper and middle parts of the microwave desorption tower 601, and the third filler 602 can be a 314 stainless steel θ ring; a third spray device 603 is arranged at the top inlet of the microwave desorption tower 601; the top outlet 604 of the microwave desorption tower is connected in series with a second cooler 216; the liquid outlet of the second cooler 216 and the bottom inlet of the microwave desorption tower 601 are connected by a second jet pump 207; the gas outlet of the second condenser 216 is connected to the second carbon dioxide collector 402.

[0048] When the desorption unit is a thermal desorption tower 501 and a microwave desorption tower 601 connected in series, the desorption process is specifically as follows: after absorbing carbon dioxide, the rich phase absorbent enters the thermal desorption tower 501, undergoes thermal desorption under the catalytic action of the catalytic module 502 and is converted into a primary lean phase absorbent, and the desorbed gas is discharged from the thermal desorption tower outlet 503; the primary lean phase absorbent flows out from the bottom of the thermal desorption tower 501 through the third liquid pump 205 and enters the microwave desorption tower 601, undergoes microwave catalytic desorption under the action of microwaves and the second random packing catalyst 311, and the primary lean phase absorbent is converted into a secondary lean phase absorbent. The secondary lean phase absorbent passes through the second liquid pump 202, the heat exchanger 212 and the third cooler 211 and enters the liquid inlet of the absorption tower 101.

[0049] The present invention also provides a method for capturing carbon dioxide using the carbon dioxide capture system described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0050] The gas containing carbon dioxide enters the absorption tower 101 through the gas inlet 104 and is contacted with the absorbent sprayed by the fourth spray device 103 for absorption to obtain a rich phase absorbent;

[0051] The rich phase absorbent is transferred to a desorption unit for sequential thermal desorption and microwave catalytic desorption to obtain a regenerated absorbent and carbon dioxide.

[0052] The present invention allows gas containing carbon dioxide to enter the absorption tower 101 through the gas inlet 104 and contact with the absorbent sprayed by the fourth spray device 103 for absorption, thereby obtaining a rich-phase absorbent. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the flow rate of the gas containing carbon dioxide entering the absorption tower 101 can be 250 to 1000 mL / min, specifically 250 mL / min, 270 mL / min, 300 mL / min, 500 mL / min, or 1000 mL / min; the absorbent can include one or more of a primary amine solution, a secondary amine solution, and a tertiary amine solution, specifically ethanolamine, diethanolamine, or N-methyldiethanolamine; the molar concentration of the absorbent can be 4.5 to 5.5 mol / L, specifically 4.5 mol / L, 5 mol / L, or 5.5 mol / L; the flow rate of spraying the absorbent can be 7 to 16 mL / min, specifically 7 mL / min, 10 mL / min, 13 mL / min, or 16 mL / min.

[0053] After obtaining the rich-phase absorbent, the present invention transfers the rich-phase absorbent to a desorption unit for sequential thermal desorption and microwave catalytic desorption to obtain a regenerated absorbent and carbon dioxide. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thermal desorption temperature can be 95 to 102°C, specifically 95°C, 98°C, 100°C, or 102°C; and the retention time of the thermal desorption can be 20 to 30 minutes, specifically 20 minutes, 25 minutes, or 30 minutes.

[0055] Microwaves, as a type of electromagnetic energy between infrared and radio waves, can irradiate polar molecules, causing intramolecular oscillations to release intramolecular energy and heat the reaction system. At the same time, the polarization effect of microwaves can induce chemical bonds to stretch and break, which can greatly improve the efficiency and material yield of thermal catalytic reactions. Since the absorbent in the carbon capture system is a polar species, microwaves can heat the absorbent to the target temperature while utilizing the polarization induction effect on the absorbent molecules to reduce the reaction energy barrier of CO2 desorption and increase the CO2 desorption rate. Therefore, under the condition of the same CO2 desorption rate, the desorption temperature under microwave action is lower. The carbon dioxide capture method provided by the present invention makes full use of the waste heat generated by the industrial production process, reduces the power consumption of the microwave device, and utilizes the characteristics of microwave heating at the molecular level to increase the desorption rate and desorption amount of the absorbent at low temperatures, effectively reducing the energy consumption of the desorption process.

[0069] The flow rate of carbon dioxide entering the carbon dioxide collector was monitored by a mass flow meter, and the desorption amount of carbon dioxide and the carbon removal rate (the ratio of the carbon dioxide desorption amount to the CO2 content in the flue gas) were calculated. The graph of the carbon dioxide desorption amount over time in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 within 1 hour of desorption is shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 The results of carbon dioxide desorption amount and removal rate of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are listed in Table 1.

[0070] Table 1 Carbon dioxide desorption amount and carbon removal rate of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0071] Example <![CDATA[Amount of desorbed CO2 per hour, mol CO2 / L]]> Average carbon removal rate in 1h% <![CDATA[Energy consumption GJ / tCO2]]> Example 1 0.871 80.32 1.96 Example 2 0.833 78.31 2.05 Comparative Example 1 0.235 36.90 3.21 Comparative Example 2 0.571 53.28 2.58

[0072] According to Table 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that, combined with the results of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the introduction of microwave-assisted microwave catalytic desorption increases the carbon dioxide desorption amount by 143% in 1 hour, the average carbon removal rate in 1 hour is increased to 53.28%, and the energy consumption of Comparative Example 2 is reduced by 19.63% compared with Comparative Example 1. Combining the results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the carbon dioxide desorption amount of the combination of thermal desorption and microwave catalytic desorption is increased by 271% compared with thermal catalytic desorption alone, the average carbon removal rate in 1 hour is increased to 80.32%, and the energy consumption of Example 1 is reduced by 38.94% compared with Comparative Example 1. Combining the results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the addition of catalyst in microwave-assisted microwave catalytic desorption operation increases the carbon dioxide desorption amount by 52.54%, and the energy consumption of Example 1 is reduced by 24.03% compared with Comparative Example 2.

[0073] The catalytic performance test of SiC powder under microwave is as follows: Scheme 1: add 1g SiC to 200mL of saturated MEA solution with a molar concentration of 5mol / L to obtain a saturated absorbent containing catalytic material, and add the solution to a three-necked flask in the microwave desorber cavity; Scheme 2: directly add 200mL of saturated MEA solution with a molar concentration of 5mol / L to the three-necked flask in the microwave desorber cavity for microwave desorption; the outlet CO2 flow rate is monitored by a flow meter; the microwave power is 240W, and the desorption temperature is controlled at 90℃; the test results are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,according to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The calculated results of carbon dioxide desorption amount and heating rate are listed in Table 2.

[0075]

[0076] Combined with Table 2 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the addition of SiC to the microwave desorption device increases the desorption amount by 30.89%.

[0077] Combined with Table 2 and Figure 6 It can be seen that SiC can accelerate the temperature rise of the system and improve the utilization of microwave energy. Specifically, SiC increases the heating rate by 30.48%. This is because SiC has good microwave absorption and excellent thermal conductivity. It can generate "hot spots" in the microwave environment, further enhancing the heat and mass transfer of the system.

[0078] When SiC was immersed in a MEA solution with a molar concentration of 5 mol / L at 120°C for 144 hours, the Si leaching rate was 0.09%, which shows that SiC has good stability in the MEA solution.
