Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to a carbon dioxide recovery and utilization system, in particular to a recovery and utilization system for purifying carbon dioxide decomposition sodium phenol which is a byproduct of natural gas. Background technology:

[0002] Synthesis gas and natural gas extracted from formations usually contain some acidic gases such as CO2. According to my country's commodity natural gas index requirements, the CO2 content must be less than 3% (mole%) before it can be exported to civilian users. Therefore, high-CO2 natural gas needs to be decarbonized.

[0003] Solvent absorption is still one of the most mature and widely used decarbonization methods. Solvent absorption is divided into chemical absorption, physical absorption and mixed solvent. Among various solvent absorption methods, the amine method is the most widely used. Among various amine methods, the activated MDEA (N-Methyldiethanolamine) process is the most popular because of its high concentration, high acid gas load, low corrosiveness, low degradation and low volatile loss.

[0004] The activated MDEA (N-methyldiethanolamine) process includes the MDEA rich solution heating regeneration process, and the specific process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the MDEA rich liquid flowing out from the bottom of the flash tank passes through the liquid level control valve, and then the MDEA rich liquid enters the upper part of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower 1 for desorption and regeneration. The MDEA solution drawn from the middle of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower 1 enters the lean liquid-semi-lean liquid heat exchanger 3 and the semi-lean liquid heater 4 through the semi-lean liquid pump 2, and then enters the middle of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower 1 for desorption and regeneration. The MDEA lean liquid at the bottom of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower is cooled to 400°C by the lean liquid-semi-lean liquid heat exchanger 3 and the lean liquid evaporative air cooler, and then pressurized by the turbine pump side. The pressurized lean liquid enters the lean liquid cooler for cooling and then enters the top of the absorption tower for recycling. The acid gas at the top of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower 1 is cooled by the acid gas cooler 5 and then enters the acid gas separator 6. The separated CO2 gas is safely discharged to the highest point, and the separated condensate is pressurized by the reflux pump 7 and then circulated back to the top of the MDEA rich liquid regeneration tower 1. The concentration of separated CO2 is ≥99.5% (dry basis). Direct discharge is a waste of resources and increases the burden on the environment.

[0005] In the phenol oil fractions of high, medium and low temperature coal tar, biomass tar, coal gasification tar and direct or indirect coal liquefaction, all are rich in phenolic compounds and have a wide range of application value. These phenols can be converted into sodium phenolate solution by alkali washing phenol oil, and then decomposed by methods such as sulfuric acid process or carbon dioxide process, thereby obtaining crude phenol. At present, carbon dioxide process is more commonly used to utilize carbon dioxide in flue gas to decompose sodium phenolate to prepare crude phenol. Utility model content:
