Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas separation and resource utilization technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a method for capturing carbon dioxide and purifying nitrogen in low-temperature flue gas. Background Technology
[0002] Due to global dependence on fossil fuels, emissions from industry and daily life are increasing, leading to the greenhouse effect, which has become one of the world's major environmental problems. Among the various greenhouse gases contributing to climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2) has the greatest impact on global warming, with its emissions continuously rising and significantly affecting climate change. Therefore, developing effective flue gas carbon dioxide capture technologies to control carbon dioxide emissions and achieve carbon reduction targets has become one of the important technological approaches to addressing global warming.
[0003] Burning coal, natural gas, and oil for power generation and heating is the world’s largest single energy-related source of carbon emissions. Coal-fired power generation accounts for the largest proportion of carbon dioxide emissions, about 40% of the total, and has the greatest potential to contribute to global carbon dioxide emission reduction.
[0004] Currently, the main technologies for capturing carbon dioxide in flue gas from coal-fired power plants include chemical absorption, physical absorption, membrane separation, and adsorption. Chemical absorption typically uses alkanolamine solvents, which, while highly efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide, suffer from problems such as high energy consumption due to absorbent degradation and regeneration, and environmental pollution caused by absorbent leakage or volatilization. Physical absorption relies on the solubility differences of gases under high pressure, but requires high operating pressure and consumes a lot of energy. Membrane separation separates carbon dioxide through selective permeation of the membrane, but the separation performance and lifespan of the membrane limit its large-scale application, and the high investment and operating costs of membrane separation equipment further hinder its large-scale industrial application. Adsorption utilizes solid adsorbents for selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, offering advantages such as relatively low energy consumption and simple operation, and is therefore widely used.
[0005] In practical industrial flue gas treatment, flue gas typically exhibits characteristics such as low temperature (40-150℃) and relatively stable pressure. It contains not only carbon dioxide but also a large amount of nitrogen and other trace impurities, resulting in a complex composition that is difficult to separate. This makes carbon dioxide recovery and nitrogen resource utilization challenging, and the capture rate is relatively low. Therefore, developing efficient, energy-saving, and stable carbon dioxide capture and nitrogen purification technologies tailored to this complex gas composition and specific operating conditions has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0007] Therefore, this invention proposes a method for capturing carbon dioxide and purifying nitrogen in low-temperature flue gas. Based on constant-pressure two-stage pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, this invention separates and recovers carbon dioxide and nitrogen from low-temperature flue gas, achieving efficient capture of carbon dioxide and purification of high-purity nitrogen. The captured carbon dioxide is then used as an activation medium in the activation process of activated carbon adsorbents, providing a new approach for industrial flue gas treatment and gas resource utilization.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for capturing carbon dioxide and purifying nitrogen in low-temperature flue gas, comprising the following steps: The low-temperature flue gas is pressurized and then subjected to a first constant pressure swing adsorption treatment to obtain decarbonized gas and carbon dioxide concentrated gas.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second constant pressure swing adsorption process is as follows: the decarbonized gas is first subjected to nitrogen adsorption using a molecular sieve under constant pressure, and then the pressure is reduced to desorb and regenerate the molecular sieve containing nitrogen, thereby releasing nitrogen.

[0014] Furthermore, the vacuum degree during the desorption and regeneration of the molecular sieve is -60kPa to 0.1MPa, and the regeneration time is 30 to 45s.
[0015] In some embodiments, the purity of the high-purity nitrogen gas is ≥99.9%.
[0016] The advantages and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves high carbon dioxide capture rates and ultrapure nitrogen extraction from low-temperature flue gas through a two-stage constant-pressure pressure swing adsorption process, combined with the size sieving and selective adsorption characteristics of molecular sieves.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0018] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0019] In this invention, when a value is described as a range, it should be understood that such disclosure includes disclosure of all possible subranges within that range, as well as specific numerical values falling within that range, regardless of whether specific numerical values or specific subranges are explicitly specified.
[0020] In this invention, the terms “comprising” and “including” and their various variations mean that other elements or wholes may be included but are not specifically described.
[0021] In this invention, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.
[0022] This invention provides a method for capturing carbon dioxide and purifying nitrogen in low-temperature flue gas, comprising the following steps: The low-temperature flue gas is pressurized and then subjected to a first constant pressure swing adsorption treatment to obtain decarbonized gas and carbon dioxide concentrated gas. The decarbonized gas is subjected to a second constant-pressure pressure swing adsorption treatment to obtain high-purity nitrogen gas.
[0023] In some embodiments, the temperature of the low-temperature flue gas is 40~150°C; And / or, the mass concentration of CO2 in the low-temperature flue gas is ≥15%, and the mass concentration of N2 is ≥70%.
[0024] The flue gas in this embodiment of the invention is low-temperature flue gas. When treating it, there is no need for pretreatment operations such as cooling and dehumidification, which simplifies the treatment process and reduces the treatment cost.
[0025] In some embodiments, the mass concentration of carbon dioxide in the decarbonized gas is ≤2%.
[0026] In some embodiments, the first constant pressure swing adsorption process is as follows: the pressurized low-temperature flue gas is first subjected to carbon dioxide adsorption using a porous carbon adsorbent under constant pressure, and then the pressure is reduced to desorb and regenerate the porous carbon adsorbed with carbon dioxide, releasing concentrated carbon dioxide gas. Optionally, the porous carbon adsorbent has a micropore ratio of ≥95% and a specific surface area of ≥1200 m². 2 / g; wherein the pore size of the micropores is <2nm; Optionally, the constant pressure adsorption during carbon dioxide adsorption is 0.2~1.0 MPa, and the adsorption time is 90~120 s. The inventors have found through research that if the adsorption pressure is too high, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for carbon dioxide will decrease, and it may even cause blockage of the adsorbent pores, affecting the adsorption efficiency; however, if the adsorption pressure is too low, the adsorbent will not fully adsorb carbon dioxide, resulting in an excessively high residual concentration of carbon dioxide in the decarbonized gas, failing to achieve the expected decarbonization effect; furthermore, by controlling the adsorption time within the range of 90~120 s, the embodiments of this invention can ensure the sufficient absorption of CO2 by the porous carbon adsorbent.
[0027] Furthermore, the vacuum degree during desorption and regeneration of the porous carbon is -60 kPa to 0.1 MPa, and the regeneration time is ≤30 s. The inventors have found through research that if the desorption and regeneration pressure is too high, it will lead to incomplete desorption, resulting in poor adsorbent regeneration and affecting the adsorption efficiency of the next round. However, if the desorption and regeneration pressure is too low, it will lead to excessive regeneration energy consumption and may also damage the adsorbent structure and shorten its service life. Therefore, it is advantageous to control the vacuum degree during the desorption and regeneration of the porous carbon in the range of -60 kPa to 0.1 MPa in this embodiment of the invention. And / or, the carbon dioxide concentration in the concentrated carbon dioxide gas released by the desorption and regeneration of the porous carbon is ≥60%, and the concentrated carbon dioxide gas is reused as an activation medium to prepare porous carbon carbon dioxide adsorbent.
[0028] It should be noted that the porous carbon produced using the carbon dioxide concentrate gas regenerated by the above desorption must meet the following performance requirements: micropores (pore size <2nm) ≥95%, specific surface area ≥1200m². 2 / g, and then the activated carbon can be reused in the adsorption of carbon dioxide in low-temperature flue gas. If there is a surplus, the surplus porous carbon can be sold.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the concentrated carbon dioxide gas obtained from desorption and regeneration is used as an activation medium in the activation process of porous carbon preparation to activate the porous carbon. The prepared porous carbon can be further used to adsorb carbon dioxide in low-temperature flue gas (the surplus porous carbon can be commercially sold). In this way, the cycle is repeated to realize the recycling of resources, avoid resource waste, and greatly reduce production costs.
[0030] Furthermore, when using the carbon dioxide concentrate as an activation medium to prepare porous carbon adsorbent, the activation temperature is 800~1100℃, the activation time is 1~10h, and the flow rate of the carbon dioxide concentrate is 5~15t CO2 / t activated raw material (i.e., 5~15 tons of carbon dioxide concentrate are introduced into each ton of activated raw material). Furthermore, the aforementioned activated raw materials include one or a mixture of two of the following: biomass raw materials and coal-based raw materials.
[0031] In some embodiments, the pressure of the decarbonized gas is ≥0.15 MPa. The outlet tail gas obtained after the first constant pressure swing adsorption treatment—the decarbonized gas—still maintains a high pressure. Therefore, when it is directly subjected to the second constant pressure swing adsorption treatment, the residual pressure can be used to achieve the second constant pressure swing adsorption directly, without the need for any intermediate compressor or vacuum pump to achieve the pressurization effect, or only a small amount of pressurization is required. This not only simplifies the process equipment but also reduces energy consumption, resulting in high economic benefits.
[0032] In some embodiments, the second constant pressure swing adsorption process is as follows: the decarbonized gas is first subjected to nitrogen adsorption using a molecular sieve under constant pressure, and then the pressure is reduced to desorb and regenerate the molecular sieve containing nitrogen, thereby releasing nitrogen. Optionally, the molecular sieve is a 5A molecular sieve or a 13X molecular sieve, and the pore size of the molecular sieve is 0.4~0.8 nm; Optionally, the constant pressure adsorption during nitrogen adsorption is 0.2~1.0 MPa, and the adsorption time is 60~90 s.
[0033] Furthermore, the vacuum degree during the desorption and regeneration of the molecular sieve is -60kPa to 0.1MPa, and the regeneration time is 30 to 45s.
[0034] In some embodiments, the purity of the high-purity nitrogen gas is ≥99.9%.
[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Unless otherwise stated, all raw materials used in the embodiments are conventional commercially available products, or can be prepared by known methods; and the experimental methods not specified in the embodiments are conventional methods and conditions well known in the art.
