AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The high energy consumption and low desorption efficiency of conventional alkanolamine solutions in carbon dioxide capture processes limit their widespread industrial application.

Method used

Furan-based organic amines are used as carbon dioxide absorbents. By introducing oxygen-containing side chains with specific structures at the molecular level, the reaction pathway between the amine group and carbon dioxide is regulated, thereby improving the desorption efficiency. The high free volume of the furan ring is also used to reduce the viscosity increment during the absorption process.

Benefits of technology

Furanyl organic amines exhibit high desorption efficiency and low working viscosity in carbon dioxide capture. When used alone, the desorption efficiency is 100%, and when mixed with water, the desorption efficiency is not less than 88%. The working viscosity is 2~5 cP, which is significantly better than traditional alcohol amine solutions.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon dioxide capture technology, and more particularly to the application of a furanyl organic amine in carbon dioxide capture. Background Technology

[0002] As industrialization deepens, human emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere continue to increase, making carbon dioxide the largest and most urgent greenhouse gas to control. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is the most effective means of reducing carbon emissions, with carbon capture processes having the highest energy consumption and cost, forming the foundation and fundamental premise of this technology.

[0003] The chemical absorption of carbon dioxide using conventional alkanolamine solutions (Reaction 1) is currently the most mature and feasible carbon capture strategy, boasting advantages such as fast reaction rate, good selectivity, wide applicability, and low material cost. Multiple demonstration plants have been established and put into operation both domestically and internationally. However, due to the inherent structural limitations of conventional alkanolamine absorbents, the carbon capture process suffers from high energy consumption and low efficiency, restricting the further industrial application of amine-based chemical absorption. On one hand, the chemical absorption of carbon dioxide by conventional alkanolamine absorbents requires the addition of large amounts of solvent water to mitigate the sudden increase in viscosity during absorption, resulting in correspondingly high energy consumption during regeneration. On the other hand, alkanolamines primarily absorb carbon dioxide in the form of ammonium carbamate, which is one of the main reasons for the low desorption efficiency of the alkanolamine system. Since the energy consumption and desorption efficiency problems of conventional alkanolamine absorbents cannot be fundamentally solved, how to construct a novel absorption system with high energy efficiency and high regenerability has become one of the urgent challenges to be addressed in the practical application of carbon dioxide capture technology.
