Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of CO2 capture technology, and in particular to a method for determining the CO2 load in an organic amine absorbent. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a process that separates CO2 from industrial processes, energy use, or the atmosphere for direct utilization or injection into geological formations, resulting in permanent CO2 emission reduction. CO2 capture is the foundation of CCUS implementation. Currently, the CO2 capture technology that has achieved industrial application is chemical absorption, among which organic amine solution absorption is the most widely researched and applied method.
[0003] The organic amine solution absorption method for CO2 capture involves a chemical reaction between an organic amine solution and CO2 in a mixed gas within a low-temperature absorption unit. This reaction produces carbonaceous compounds such as carbamates, bicarbonates, and carbonates, forming a rich absorbent solution. This rich solution is then heated in a high-temperature desorption unit to release the absorbed CO2, while simultaneously regenerating the organic amine solution, creating a lean absorbent solution. This lean solution is then recycled back into the absorption tower, thus achieving the separation of CO2 from other gases in the mixed gas. The CO2 load of the organic amine in the rich and lean absorbent solutions is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of the organic amine solution.
[0004] Currently, methods for determining CO2 load in organic amine absorbents include infrared absorption, calorimetry, and acid hydrolysis gas chromatography. Among these, acid hydrolysis gas chromatography is widely used due to its simplicity, convenience, and speed (e.g., ①Song Zhou, Yunlong Zhu, Hongyuan Xi, Ze Hao, Zhitao Han, Chengqi Sun, Research on CO2 capture performance and reaction mechanism using newly tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) + monoethanolamine (MEA) mixed absorbent for onboard application, Chemical Engineering Journal, Volume 485, 2024, 149790, ISSN 1385-8947. ②Liju Bai, Dongfang Zhao, Xinkai Zhong, Shoulong Dong, Helei Liu, Comprehensive technical analysis of CO2 absorption into a promising blended amine of DEEA-HMDA, Chemical Engineering Science, Volume 280, 2023, 119025, ISSN 1385-8947). 0009-2509.③ Chen Jie, Tang Jianfeng, Hua Yihuai, et al. Performance study of mixed amine liquid for CO2 removal from natural gas [J]. Acta Petrolei Sinica (Petroleum Processing), 2015, 31(04):904-911.
[0005] The principle of the acidolysis gas measurement method is to add excess acid to the organic amine absorbent loaded with CO2, causing the carbamates, bicarbonates, and carbonates in the absorbent to decompose and release CO2. The CO2 load of the organic amine solution is calculated by measuring the volume of CO2 released using a gas measuring device.
[0006] The specific operating method is as follows: Take a certain volume of organic amine absorption liquid sample V t Add as attached Figure 1 In the acidolysis apparatus shown, excess acid is added to the conical flask through an acid burette to fully decompose and release CO2 from the sample. The difference in readings before and after the gas measuring tube is measured, and then the amount of CO2 obtained from the acidolysis is calculated using the formula shown in Equation VII below:
[0007]
[0008] in, The value represents the amount of CO2 released from the sample, in mol. ΔV is the difference in liquid level readings in the gas measuring tube before and after the addition of acid, in mL. a The volume of acid added is in mL. T is the room temperature on the day of the measurement, in K.
[0009] Then, divide the amount of CO2 released from the sample by the amount of organic amine absorbent contained in the sample, and calculate the organic amine load using the formula shown in Equation VIII:
[0010]
[0011] in, V represents the amount of CO2 released from the sample, expressed in moles. t N represents the volume of the sample taken, in mL. amine The molar concentration of the prepared organic amine solution is expressed in mol / L, N. amine The result is obtained from formula IX:
[0012]
[0013] Where, m amine M represents the mass of the amine in the prepared organic amine solution, in grams; amine m is the molar molecular weight of the amine, in g / mol. solution The mass of the prepared solution is expressed in grams (g); ρ solution The density of the prepared solution is expressed in g / mL.
[0014] Volumetric sampling has the following drawbacks in practical operation:
[0015] (1) Due to the phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction, the sampling temperature varies during the volumetric method, such as 40-50℃ for absorption and 90-130℃ for desorption. If the acid hydrolysis gas chromatography test cannot be performed in time after sampling, especially when the sampling time interval is short, the actual titration temperature of the acid hydrolysis gas chromatography test will be different from the sampling temperature, resulting in a difference in the sampled volume. Consequently, the test results will fluctuate with the temperature during the test, leading to inaccurate test results.
[0016] (2) Due to the different room temperature every day, there is a time difference between sampling and testing. The actual test temperature is between the sampling temperature and the room temperature. As a result, the volume of the sample taken during acid titration will fluctuate with the temperature, which will cause errors in the test results.
[0017] (3) n in the organic amine loading formula calculated from Equation VIII amineIt is assumed that the concentration remains constant during the absorption process. However, after the organic amine absorbs CO2, its density will change with the CO2 load and temperature. The molar mass concentration of the organic amine will also gradually decrease, and the calculated results will deviate from the actual data.
[0018] (4) To ensure the accuracy of the volumetric sampling method, the volumetric sampling method requires continuous measurement of the real-time density ρ of the sample taken. solution Calculating the mass of organic amines in the sample is extremely tedious and complicated.
[0019] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and efficient method for detecting CO2 load. Summary of the Invention
