Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of carbon dioxide capture and conversion technology, and relates to a method and system for electrochemical regeneration and conversion of carbon dioxide supported absorbent. Background Technology
[0002] Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a core pathway to mitigating global warming. Carbon dioxide is one of the most significant greenhouse gases contributing to climate change, accounting for up to 76% of the total greenhouse gas enhancement effect. With the large-scale use of fossil fuels, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has surged from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution to 426.57 ppm. Achieving deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and stabilizing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere within the threshold of 450 ppm is crucial for limiting global warming to no more than 1.5°C.
[0003] Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology not only separates carbon dioxide generated by industry and related sectors, transforming it into high-value-added products, but also promotes closed-loop management of carbon emission reduction, becoming a key technology supporting low-carbon transformation. Among these technologies, capture technology based on the principle of chemical absorption, with its mature process and high adaptability, has become the most commercialized and widely used carbon emission reduction pathway at present. This technology utilizes specific absorbents such as amine solutions (patent CN114950072A), alkaline solutions (patent CN117654262A), ionic liquids (patent CN113813747A), and eutectic solvents (patent CN113617304A, CN108993125A) to achieve capture through a reversible chemical reaction with carbon dioxide in flue gas. Subsequently, by applying specific energy (mainly thermal or pressure energy) to the carbon dioxide-loaded absorbent, the absorbent is regenerated and high-purity carbon dioxide is released.
[0004] The regeneration process of the absorbent is the core of evaluating the system's energy consumption, and its efficiency directly affects the economics and carbon reduction effectiveness of the entire CCUS technology. Patent CN119909644A discloses a method for photothermal-driven regeneration of carbon dioxide capture materials, which involves doping the prepared carbon dioxide capture particles with manganese trioxide at a speed of 4.5 kW / m³. 2Under illumination, regeneration is essentially completed by heating to 74℃, but the preparation of the capture material is complex and the absorption capacity is low. Patent CN120249998A discloses a method for the co-capture and conversion of flue gas carbon dioxide to produce formate, which eliminates the need for pretreatment of small amounts of oxygen and trace amounts of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides in the flue gas, reducing the energy consumption for carbon dioxide regeneration. However, the capture and utilization rate of flue gas carbon dioxide is low, and the low-value oxygen generated by the anode reaction is directly emitted into the atmosphere, resulting in low energy utilization of the entire reaction. Patents CN119258730A and CN119607801A respectively disclose a carbon dioxide absorbent composed of functionalized ionic liquid triethylenetetramine-3-bromophenol salt and polyethylene glycol 200, and a mixed alkaline carbon dioxide absorbent with sodium carbonate as the main absorbent, as well as their capture methods. However, the absorbent requires a temperature above 100℃ to achieve carbon dioxide desorption, resulting in high regeneration energy consumption for the system.
[0005] Therefore, controlling the regeneration energy consumption of CO2 absorbents and achieving low-temperature desorption while ensuring high-efficiency capture performance is a key step in promoting deep carbon emission reduction. Summary of the Invention

[0053] The present invention also provides two systems for the synergistic execution of carbon capture, electrochemical regeneration and conversion using carbon dioxide supported absorbents, employing a single-chamber electrolyzer and a membrane electrolyzer, respectively.
[0054] The single-chamber electrolytic cell system includes a CO2 capture liquid storage tank, a pump, and an electrolytic cell. The cathode and anode electrodes are fixed to the cathode conductive plate and anode conductive metal plate respectively via plug-in structures. The number and spacing of the electrodes can be adjusted according to different electrolytes and electrolysis requirements, effectively improving the electrolytic cell's adaptability to various operating conditions. Both the cathode and anode electrodes are located inside the electrolytic cell and connected to the power supply via the cathode and anode conductive plates, avoiding the traditional design where the electrodes are exposed for power connection, thus improving the effective utilization rate of electrode materials. During system operation, industrial carbon-containing flue gas is introduced into the CO2 capture liquid storage tank and pumped to the electrolytic cell for desorption and conversion reactions. The regenerated VMS capture liquid is then output to the CO2 capture liquid storage tank for CO2 reabsorption.
[0055] The diaphragm electrolyzer system includes a CO2 capture solution storage tank, an alkaline methanol solution storage tank, a CO2 catalytic hydrogenation tower, an electrolytic cell, and two pumps. The cathode CO2 capture solution storage tank also serves as a CO2 absorption tower, absorbing industrial carbon-containing flue gas. In the electrolytic cell, the anode and cathode chambers are separated by an ion-exchange membrane. The cathode electrode is inserted into the electrolyte in the cathode chamber, and the anode electrode is inserted into the electrolyte in the anode chamber. The cathode CO2 capture solution storage tank, pump I, and the cathode chamber are connected in series via pipelines. Similarly, the anode alkaline methanol solution storage tank, pump II, and the anode chamber are connected in series via pipelines. The two ends of the CO2 catalytic hydrogenation tower are connected to the cathode chamber and the alkaline methanol solution storage tank, respectively, via pipelines. During system operation, industrial carbon-containing flue gas is introduced into the cathode CO2 capture liquid storage tank. The solvents in different tanks are respectively transported to the electrolytic cell for desorption and conversion reactions by two pumps, and then output to the corresponding storage tanks for subsequent unit operations such as CO2 reabsorption and separation and purification of valuable substances.
[0056] This invention discloses an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide-supported absorbents. Using superalkalis, alcohols and amines, imidazoles, and pyridines as precursor components, a glassy mixed solvent is synthesized to efficiently capture CO2. In a single-chamber electrolyzer, the carbon-rich absorbent can be electrochemically regenerated, releasing CO2 and generating carboxylate, along with H2 and O2. When a diaphragm electrolyzer is used, the glassy mixed solvent after CO2 capture is directly used as the cathode electrolyte. Under applied potential, an electrochemically driven CO2 desorption reaction occurs. The CO2 and H2 generated in the cathode chamber are converted into methanol under the action of a catalyst. The generated methanol is added to the anode chamber for further conversion into the high-value chemical carboxylate. This integrated process significantly simplifies traditional production and regeneration processes, effectively reducing absorbent regeneration energy consumption and operating costs while greatly improving the system's environmental performance.
[0057] The mechanism of this invention lies in the following: the glassy mixed solvent mainly achieves CO2 capture by reacting with deprotonated alcohols and CO2 to generate alkyl carbonates. During the electrochemical regeneration process, a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction occurs in the cathode region, the protonated superbase undergoes a deprotonation reaction, is regenerated into a superbase, and is reduced to release hydrogen (H2). The alkyl carbonate reacts with hydrogen protons (H2) to form hydrogen gas. + The reaction occurs, resulting in CO2 desorption and conversion into alcohol. In the anode region of a single-chamber electrolyzer, alkyl carbonates are oxidized to produce oxygen (O2) and carboxylates; in the anode chamber of a diaphragm electrolyzer, alcohol molecules undergo deprotonation and oxidation to produce carboxylates. The protons (H+) removed during this process... + Hydrogen ions generated by water ionization in the system can migrate through the ion exchange membrane to the cathode chamber to participate in the reaction.
[0058] This invention provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbents, which solves the technical challenge of the source of "green hydrogen" in the CO2 catalytic hydrogenation process to methanol. It converts CO2 in industrial flue gas into valuable chemicals methanol and carboxylate, achieving synergistic operation of CO2 capture, desorption, and conversion.
[0059] The present invention provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbent, in which CO2 and H2 are extracted and synthesized into methanol, low-carbon olefins or liquid hydrocarbon fuels in a CO2 catalytic reactor under the action of a catalyst.
[0060] The present invention provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbent. When the electrolytic cell is a diaphragm electrolytic cell, the electrolyte in the anode chamber containing carboxylate after the electrochemical reaction is recovered and regenerated by electrodialysis to obtain a soluble alkaline solution and a carboxylic acid solution.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0062] Example 1:
[0063] This embodiment provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbents, employing a single-chamber electrolytic cell for electrochemical conversion and regeneration, including the following steps:
[0064] (1) Absorption: TMG and MeOH were mixed in a 1:1 ratio and stirred to form a homogeneous and transparent solution. Additive IM was added at a concentration of 10% of the molar amount of the superbase TMG. The mixture was stirred continuously at a constant temperature of 40°C to obtain a VMS solution. The VMS was cooled to 30°C, and CO2 was brought into contact with the VMS at a constant flow rate of 100 mL / min. CO2 was captured at 30°C and 0.1 bar. The mass of CO2 in the capture tank was recorded in real time until the CO2 absorption load of the VMS was 0.18 g CO2 / g VMS. The linear voltammetry (LSV) curve after CO2 absorption is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, a VMS absorbent loaded with CO2 was obtained; at this point, the CO2 absorption load of the VMS was 60% of the saturation absorption capacity.
[0065] (2) Electrochemical desorption and conversion: The CO2-loaded VMS absorbent was used as the electrolyte and placed in a single-chamber electrolytic cell. The working electrode was a platinum electrode, the counter electrode was a nickel foam electrode, and the reference electrode was a platinum electrode. The electrolysis was carried out at a constant potential of -5.0V vs. Pt at 25℃ and 1 bar. The cathode region generated regenerated VMS trapping solution, CO2 and H2. The anode region generated carboxylates was measured by ion chromatography. The CO2 absorption load of the absorbent was 30% of the saturated absorption capacity by measuring the conductivity of the system, thus realizing the electrochemical desorption and conversion of CO2.
[0066] (3) Regeneration absorbent return: The regenerated VMS capture liquid is returned to the CO2 capture liquid storage tank for CO2 capture again.
[0067] This embodiment also provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion system for carbon dioxide supported absorbents, such as... Figure 2As shown, the method described in this embodiment includes a CO2 trapping liquid storage tank I2, a pump 3, a single-chamber electrolytic cell 4, a cathode I6, an anode I7, a gas outlet I9, and a carboxylate outlet. The CO2 trapping liquid storage tank I2, the pump 3, and the single-chamber electrolytic cell 4 are connected in series via pipes. The cathode I6 and anode I7 are fixed to the cathode conductive plate 5 and the anode conductive plate 8 respectively via plug-in structures. Each cathode I6 and anode I7 is arranged crosswise on the same plane. The cathodes I6 and anodes I7 are connected to the power supply via wires connected to the cathode conductive plate 5 and the anode conductive plate 8, respectively. This avoids the traditional design where the electrodes are exposed to connect to the power supply, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of the electrode materials. The gas outlet 9 is located at the top of the single-chamber electrolytic cell 4, and the carboxylate outlet is located at the bottom of the single-chamber electrolytic cell 4. Three cathodes I6 and three anodes I7 are provided. The distance between each electrode is adaptively adjusted according to the requirements of the electrolyte and electrolyte solution, thereby effectively improving the adaptability of the electrolytic cell to different operating conditions. During system operation, industrial carbon-containing flue gas 1 is introduced into CO2 capture liquid storage tank I 2, and then transported to the electrolytic cell for desorption and conversion reaction by the pump 3. The regenerated capture liquid is output to CO2 capture liquid storage tank I 2 for CO2 reabsorption.

[0069] This embodiment provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbents, employing a membrane electrolyzer for electrochemical conversion and regeneration, including the following steps:
[0070] (1) Absorption: DBN and MeOH were mixed in a ratio of 1:1.5 and stirred to form a homogeneous and transparent solution, thus obtaining a VMS solution. The VMS was cooled to 25°C, and CO2 was brought into contact with the VMS at a constant flow rate of 150 mL / min. CO2 was captured at 25°C and 1 bar, and the mass in the CO2 capture tank was recorded in real time until the CO2 absorption load of the VMS reached 0.21 g CO2 / g VMS, resulting in a CO2-loaded VMS absorbent. At this point, the CO2 absorption load of the VMS was 80% of its saturation absorption capacity. The viscosity of the VMS absorbent after CO2 absorption was 28.15 mPa·s, and the conductivity was 4.39 mS·cm. -1 ;
[0071] (2) Electrochemical desorption and conversion: A CO2-loaded VMS absorbent was used as the cathode electrolyte, and a mixture of NaOH solution and methanol at a molar ratio of 2:1 (with a KOH concentration of 3 mol / L) was used as the anode electrolyte. Lead was used as the cathode material, nickel-manganese alloy as the anode material, and a cation exchange membrane as the ion exchange membrane. Electrolysis was performed at 25°C and 1 bar using a constant potential of -1.8 V vs. Pt. The cathode chamber produced regenerated VMS trapping solution, CO2, and H2, while the anode chamber produced carboxylates. The products from the cathode and anode chambers of the electrolytic cell were analyzed by gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, respectively, as follows:
[0072] The carbon dioxide capture process in the method is mainly achieved through the following reaction (1):
[0073] DBN + CH3OH + CO2→ DBNH + + CH3OCO2 - (1)
[0074] In the method, the electrochemical regeneration of the cathode chamber and the conversion of the anode chamber of the carbon dioxide supported absorbent are achieved through the following reactions (2) and (3):
[0075] DBNH + + CH3OCO2 - + 2H + + 2e - → DBN + CH3OH + H2 + CO2(2)
[0076] CH3OH + 5OH - - 4e - → HCOO - + 4H2O (3)
[0077] Analyzing gas chromatograms ( Figure 4 It can be seen that the gaseous products of the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell mainly include carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The characteristic peak with an elution time of 0.1 min is the characteristic peak of hydrogen, and the characteristic peak with an elution time of 4 min is the characteristic peak of carbon dioxide. The proportions of carbon dioxide and hydrogen are 84.65% and 15.35%, respectively.
[0078] Analysis of cathode products 13 C NMR spectrum ( Figure 5 It can be seen that the chemical shift of C shifts to higher fields to varying degrees and decreases, indicating that DBNH +A deprotonation reaction occurred; furthermore, a new set of signal peaks appeared at δ = 174 ppm, which can be attributed to carboxylate ions formed by the reduction of a small amount of CO2. The CO2 absorption load of the absorbent was characterized by 5% of the saturation absorption capacity, the current efficiency of the desorption process was 80%, and the regeneration energy consumption per unit mass of CO2 was 1.1 GJ / t CO2. At the anode products... 13 In the C NMR spectrum, the signal peak at δ = 178 ppm indicates that methanol was oxidized to carboxylate ions with a yield of 91%. The liquid phase product in the anode chamber was extracted by a pump to obtain carboxylate, thus realizing the electrochemical regeneration and conversion of the absorbent.

[0084] This embodiment provides an electrochemical regeneration and conversion method for carbon dioxide supported absorbents, employing a membrane electrolyzer for electrochemical conversion and regeneration, including the following steps:
[0085] (1) Absorption: DBN and EtOH were mixed in a 1:1 ratio and stirred to form a homogeneous and transparent solution. Additive Suc, with a content of 10% of the molar amount of the superbase DBN, was added. The mixture was stirred continuously at a constant temperature of 40℃ until a homogeneous and transparent solution was obtained again, thus obtaining the VMS solution. The VMS solution was then cooled to 20℃, and CO2 was brought into contact with VMS at a constant flow rate of 100 mL / min. CO2 was captured at 20℃ and 1 bar, and the mass in the CO2 capture tank was recorded in real time until the CO2 absorption load of VMS was 0.14 g CO2 / g VMS, thus obtaining the CO2-loaded VMS absorbent; at this time, the CO2 absorption load of VMS was 55% of the saturated absorption capacity. After the introduction of the additive, the viscosity of the system increased slightly from 9.30 mPa·s to 10.10 mPa·s, while the conductivity increased from 89.22 μS·cm. -1 Significantly increased to 1235 μS·cm -1 This results in minimal fluctuations in the system's conductivity throughout the absorption process. The introduced additive Suc and the deprotonated alcohol are both active sites for the CO2 reaction, achieving carbon capture by generating Suc-2CO2 complexes and alkyl carbonates, respectively, thereby regulating the binding form of CO2.

Graphite was used as the cathode material, nickel foam as the anode material, and a proton exchange membrane as the ion exchange membrane. Electrolysis was performed at 25℃ and 1 bar using a constant potential of -1.8 V vs. Pt for 60 min. The current density change curve over time is shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, the current density of the electrolytic cell system is maintained at 30 mA·cm⁻¹. -2 Gas chromatography analysis revealed that the main gaseous products in the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell were CO2 and H2. The cathode chamber produced regenerated VMS trapping solution, CO2, and H2, while the anode chamber produced carboxylates. Measurements of the system's conductivity showed that the CO2 absorption load of the regenerated VMS trapping solution was 25% of its saturation absorption capacity.
