Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of carbon dioxide capture, and more specifically, to a system for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas of a coal-fired power plant and co-producing ammonium fertilizer based on an ammonia process. Background Art

[0002] Most existing carbon dioxide capture and utilization methods directly use CO2 to produce dry ice, refrigeration, beverages, etc. Due to insufficient market demand, the cost of purification and pressurization is higher than the revenue from selling CO2. The traditional MEA process has problems such as degradation, corrosion, and high regeneration energy consumption, which seriously affect the application of this process. Due to oxidation, thermal degradation, irreversible reactions and evaporation, MEA is lost during the process. In addition, MEA has strict limits on the concentration of SO2 in flue gas (no more than 10ppm), and existing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is difficult to meet the ultra-low SO2 concentration requirements. The above problems lead to high initial investment and operating costs of the MEA process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to further research and application of CO2 capture, hoping to complete the capture of flue gas CO2 at an acceptable low cost.

[0003] In view of the characteristics of flue gas from coal-fired power plants, the goal of the new absorbent is not high removal efficiency, but low absorbent cost and regeneration energy consumption. The by-products produced should be products with a large market and utilization value.

[0004] Regarding absorbent sources, ammonia is a major chemical product, and the production capacity and demand for synthetic ammonia are enormous. Ammonia is readily available, with synthetic ammonia plants, coal chemical plants, petrochemical companies, and other enterprises of varying sizes near nearly every power plant selling ammonia. Regarding absorbent applications in power plants, ammonia or liquid ammonia is used as a reducing agent in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification and as an absorbent in ammonia-based flue gas desulfurization (FGD). Some power plants have ammonia storage systems. Regarding price, ammonia is only one-sixth the price of MEA. Regarding ammonia's decarbonization absorption capacity, research has shown that its absorption capacity for removing CO2 from power plant flue gas is three times that of MEA. Regarding the treatment of decarbonization products, the byproduct of the ammonia decarbonization circulating slurry, after liquid-solid separation, is NH4HCO3, a widely used nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture with high economic value. In summary, ammonia offers significant advantages as a decarbonization absorbent and co-production of ammonium fertilizer.

[0005] CN220554641U discloses a device for controlling ammonia escape by capturing carbon from low-sulfur flue gas and producing nitrogen fertilizer. The device comprises an ammonia desulfurization zone, an ammonia decarbonization zone, an ammonia washing zone, and an acid addition system. The ammonia desulfurization zone, the ammonia decarbonization zone, and the ammonia washing zone are sequentially connected, the ammonia desulfurization zone and the ammonia washing zone are connected via a liquid phase pipeline, and the acid addition system is connected to the ammonia washing zone. To address the ammonia escape problem, the process system passes the desulfurization circulating fluid from the ammonia desulfurization process system into the decarbonization system to wash ammonia. However, this requires the use of an ammonia desulfurization system in conjunction with it. However, ammonia desulfurization systems are rarely used in China, making this system less widely applicable.

[0006] CN116272329B discloses a deamination device suitable for ammonia-based carbon capture and its application. The deamination slurry tank is connected to a first bubbling unit and a second bubbling unit, each of which is equipped with a forced oxidation blower. The second bubbling unit is located at the top of the organic amine decarbonization device and is equipped with a deamination absorbent. The first bubbling unit absorbs SO2 to form sulfurous acid, which is forcibly oxidized to sulfuric acid in the deamination slurry tank. The sulfuric acid is then used to capture escaping ammonia gas. This system requires a large amount of energy for forced oxidation, and the product ammonium sulfate may be mixed with volatile organic amines, making it difficult to reuse. Utility Model Content

[0028] The utility model provides a system for capturing carbon in flue gas from coal-fired power plants and producing ammonium fertilizers in conjunction with an ammonia process. The system has the function of simultaneously treating CO2 from thermal power plants and desulfurization wastewater, and producing ammonium bicarbonate fertilizers with added value. After heavy metals, calcium ions, and colloids are precipitated in the desulfurization wastewater, it is used to enter the first-level ammonia spray layer in the ammonia washing area to absorb ammonia gas; the saturated solid-liquid mixed ammonium bicarbonate slurry in the saturation area is separated by a cyclone and a centrifuge for two-stage solid-liquid separation to produce ammonium bicarbonate fertilizers; the amount of ammonia water to be supplied and the timing of supply are determined based on pH and density; the first-level ammonia spray layer and the second-level ammonia spray layer in the ammonia washing area are respectively added with the clear liquid after desulfurization wastewater treatment and the process water for circulating spraying and washing ammonia.

[0029] Furthermore, for power plants equipped with a low-temperature flue gas concentration desulfurization wastewater system, low-temperature flue gas concentration slurry can be introduced into the decarbonization system, and the escaped ammonia can be recovered by spraying through the first-level ammonia washing spray layer.

[0030] The utility model provides a production method for a system for capturing carbon from flue gas of a coal-fired power plant and co-producing ammonium fertilizer based on an ammonia process, which includes three processing routes: gas, liquid, and solid:

[0031] 1. Gas processing route;

[0032] The desulfurized flue gas generated by industrial combustion is drawn into the branch flue gas duct by the induced draft fan and enters the decarbonization system. The flue gas contains carbon dioxide, water vapor and a small amount of impurity particles. The decarbonization system is divided into three functional areas, and the flue gas passes through the following areas in sequence:

[0033] (1) Saturated zone: In the saturated zone, the flue gas is directly contacted and absorbed by the spray slurry, the temperature is reduced, and a small amount of CO2 in the flue gas is initially captured.

[0034] (2) Absorption zone: The flue gas absorbed by the saturated zone slurry spray enters the absorption zone. In the absorption zone, most of the CO2 in the flue gas is efficiently absorbed by the absorption liquid.

[0035] (3) Ammonia washing area: After passing through the absorption area, the flue gas enters the ammonia washing area, and the spray layer captures the ammonia escaping from the flue gas. Secondary ammonia washing spray layer: The secondary spray layer further improves the absorption efficiency and ensures that the emission concentration of ammonia in the flue gas meets the standard.

[0036] The flue gas after multi-stage absorption is discharged through the exhaust pipe, and the ammonia concentration of the flue gas is controlled to be lower than 3ppm.

[0037] 2. Liquid handling routes;

[0038] (1) Pretreatment of wastewater: The wastewater generated during the desulfurization process is pretreated with chemical agents, including the addition of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate to adjust the pH value of the wastewater. Flocculants are added to precipitate and separate suspended particles and impurities in the wastewater to obtain clear liquid and flocs.

[0039] (2) Recycling of ammonia washing liquid. The pre-treated clear liquid is sent to the primary ammonia washing spray layer of the ammonia washing area to capture the remaining escaped ammonia in the flue gas. When the pH of the ammonia washing liquid in the secondary ammonia washing area reaches the upper limit, it is transported to the primary ammonia washing area. The ammonia washing liquid in the primary ammonia washing area is sent to the secondary ammonia washing spray layer of the ammonia washing area to capture the escaped ammonia in the flue gas for the first time. When the pH of the ammonia washing liquid in the primary ammonia washing area reaches the upper limit, it is transported to the slurry tank in the absorption area and mixed with ammonia water for CO2 absorption reaction. Furthermore, after running for a period of time, the saturated area slurry density is lower than 1050kg / m 3 When the water content of the system is high, the ammonia washing process water tank is required to absorb the saturated ammonia washing liquid and concentrate it through reverse osmosis. The 15% concentrated ammonium bicarbonate solution can be passed into the absorption area slurry tank to obtain low-concentration clear liquid.

[0040] (3) Cascade utilization of decarbonized slurry. The slurry in the absorption zone absorbs CO2 in the first cycle, playing the main role in CO2 absorption. When the pH of the slurry in the absorption zone slurry tank reaches the upper limit, the slurry is transferred to the saturation zone. The main components of the slurry in the absorption zone are ammonia water, ammonium carbonate, etc. In the saturation zone, the slurry absorbs CO2 in the first cycle to improve the absorption efficiency. The main components of the slurry in the absorption zone are ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, etc.

[0041] (4) Solid-liquid separation of liquid: The slurry in the saturated zone is separated through a two-stage solid-liquid separation process. The cyclone separation separates the ammonium bicarbonate solid particles from the slurry to obtain a portion of low-concentration slurry. The centrifuge separation further separates the liquid and the ammonium bicarbonate solid particles after cyclone separation by high-speed centrifugation to obtain a low-concentration slurry and concentrated solid matter.

[0042] (5) The low-concentration slurry is recycled. The separated low-concentration slurry is transported back to the saturated area slurry tank to achieve recycling.

[0043] 3. Solids handling routes;

[0044] (1) The formation of by-product ammonium bicarbonate. The concentrated solid obtained by solid-liquid separation is mainly composed of ammonium bicarbonate.

[0045] (2) Treatment and utilization of by-products: After further dehydration and drying, the solid matter is packaged and made into ammonium bicarbonate by-product, which can be directly used as agricultural fertilizer or other industrial purposes.

[0046] Furthermore, the pH value of the low-temperature flue gas concentrated slurry is controlled to be in the range of 2-3; the pH value of the desulfurization wastewater in the heavy metal precipitation tank of the desulfurization wastewater treatment system is controlled to be in the range of 8-9, preferably, the pH is optimal at 8.4; the pH value of the slurry in the saturated zone of the decarbonization system is controlled to be in the range of 8-8.5, preferably, the pH is optimal at 8.3, and the slurry density of the saturated zone of the decarbonization system is 1100-1120 kg / m 3 , preferably, the slurry density is controlled to 1103kg / m 3 The optimal pH range is 9.5-10 in the decarbonization system's absorption zone. The pH of the ammonia wash solution in the primary ammonia wash tank in the ammonia wash zone is controlled between 10-10.5, and the pH of the ammonia wash solution in the secondary ammonia wash process tank in the ammonia wash zone is controlled between 8-9. Once the pH of the clear solution in the secondary ammonia wash process tank reaches the upper limit, it enters the primary ammonia wash process tank. Once the pH of the clear solution in the primary process tank reaches the upper limit, it enters the absorption zone slurry tank. Once the slurry in the absorption zone slurry tank reaches saturation, it enters the saturation zone slurry tank.

[0047] The utility model calculates the concentration of ammonium bicarbonate in the solution based on the control relationship between the measured density and the saturation of ammonium bicarbonate. Combined with the monitored pH value, a balance equation can be established to calculate the effective ammonia concentration in the absorption zone. The reference value C is introduced and there is a positive correlation with the CO2 absorption efficiency, that is, a one-to-one correspondence. Substituting it into the formula:

[0048] C=738.58[NH3] 2 +11.32[NH3],

[0049] [NH3] represents the effective ammonia concentration;

[0050] C is calculated and the C value of the absorption slurry is adjusted by adding concentrated ammonia water in the concentrated ammonia water replenishment tank (30) to maintain the decarbonization system efficiency above 80%.

[0051] This utility model proposes a method that utilizes carbon capture byproducts as fertilizer, making it one of the most viable byproduct utilization options currently available, linking carbon emission reduction with ecological regulation. NH4HCO3 recycling not only offsets operating expenses but also significantly reduces operating costs through simplified processes. Replacing existing NH4HCO3 production also improves the environment and reduces energy consumption.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0053] (1) The CO2 removal efficiency can be stably controlled to be above 80%;

[0054] (2) The ammonia emission concentration in the flue gas at the outlet of the decarbonization system can be controlled within 3ppm;

[0055] (3) It can collaboratively treat desulfurization wastewater, with a treatment capacity of up to 3t / h;

[0056] (4) No wastewater is generated during the operation of the decarbonization system;

[0057] (5) The system is highly practical and can be used for ultra-low carbon emission reduction layout of thermal power plants under various circumstances. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
