[0002] With the improvement of global environmental protection consciousness and the implementation of carbon emission control policy, in current industrial production practice, carbon dioxide capture and recovery technology plays an important role in environmental protection and resource recycling. The mainstream technology currently used by factories is pressure swing adsorption. In the pressure swing adsorption process, carbon dioxide is effectively separated from the gas mixture. However, the tail gas produced during this process usually contains a certain amount of solid particles and moisture.

[0003] In order to further process and utilize this tail gas, it needs to be preliminarily pumped and depressurized by a water ring vacuum pump, and then sent to a CO2 compressor for compression to facilitate subsequent storage or reuse. However, under the current technical conditions, the solid particles and moisture entrained in the tail gas pose a serious challenge to the long-term operation of the compressor.

[0004] Specifically, these solid particles will cause wear and tear to the internal components of the compressor when circulating inside the compressor, and the moisture is prone to scaling in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. This wear and tear and scaling not only reduces the operating efficiency of the compressor and affects its performance, but also significantly shortens the service life of the compressor, increases maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0005] In view of this technical problem, a new type of tail gas treatment equipment is developed to effectively remove solid particles and moisture from the tail gas, thereby reducing compressor wear and tear and scaling, improving the stability and service life of the compressor, and reducing maintenance frequency and cost, which is of great significance for the development of carbon dioxide capture and recovery technology.
