TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to CO2 desorption test equipment technical field especially relates to a kind of alcohol amine solution CO2 desorption energy consumption's testing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] As one of the most important greenhouse gases, the increase in CO2 emissions is one of the main reasons for global climate change. With the acceleration of industrialization and the growth of energy demand, CO2 emissions have been rising year by year, putting unprecedented pressure on the Earth's environment. In response to this serious challenge, the international community has generally recognized the need to take effective measures to control and reduce CO2 emissions. In this context, the importance of CO2 capture technology has become increasingly apparent.
[0003] Among CO2 capture technologies, chemical absorption technology is the most mature due to its good flue gas adaptability and has been in industrial application for many years. The alcohol amine method, as a mature chemical absorption process, plays a crucial role. The alcohol amine method has good performance in CO2 absorption, especially primary and secondary amine solutions, which have strong basicity and good reactivity, allowing for rapid CO2 absorption. The alcohol amine method is not limited to flue gas treatment in the power industry, but also has wide applications in natural gas treatment, coal chemical industry, and other fields. Compared to other emerging CO2 capture technologies, the alcohol amine method has undergone decades of development and improvement, accumulating rich engineering experience and operational data. Currently, several large commercial projects have been successfully implemented worldwide, demonstrating its feasibility and stability in practical operation.
[0004] However, a key challenge in this process is the regeneration energy consumption required to desorb CO2 from the rich liquid. According to relevant research, the regeneration energy consumption of traditional chemical absorption methods is approximately 4GJ / t-CO2. Therefore, the focus of research should be on reducing the regeneration energy consumption of the absorbent, which is mainly composed of sensible heat, latent heat, and reaction heat. High regeneration energy consumption not only increases operating costs but also may offset some of the emission reduction benefits. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a device that can accurately, quickly, and economically evaluate CO2 desorption energy consumption. However, there is currently a lack of low-cost and convenient devices for testing desorption energy consumption. Based on this, we propose a device for testing the CO2 desorption energy consumption of alcohol amine solutions. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0030] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0031] Without heating, turn on the magnetic stirring rod on the magnetic stirring heater 1 and run the entire device. Record the energy consumption E0 through the energy meter 8. The purpose is to obtain the energy consumption corresponding to magnetic stirring.
[0032] With the glass reactor 2 containing an absorbent liquid that has not absorbed CO2, the entire apparatus is run. Before starting the CO2 desorption experiment, the temperature of the glass reactor 2 is heated to the preset temperature. When the CO2 desorption temperature is maintained at 80°C, the magnetic stirring rod on the magnetic stirring heater 1 is turned on, and the entire apparatus is run. The energy consumption E1 is recorded by the energy meter 8.
[0033] With the CO2-absorbed liquid already present in glass reactor 2, the entire apparatus is operated, and the N2 flow rate is adjusted. If a change in the N2 flow rate is needed, it is controlled by flow controller 6. The N2, which has a stripping effect, along with the desorbed CO2 and a small amount of amine solution, exits from glass reactor 2 and passes through condenser 4, which has a cooling function. This ensures minimal loss of amine solution and does not affect the accuracy of the instrument. Sensible heat consumption can be obtained from temperature data and can be calculated using the sensible heat formula. wherein MrCO2 is the molar mass of CO2, 44 g / mol, cP is the specific heat capacity of the absorbent rich solution, KJ / (kg.K), msol is the mass of the absorbent rich solution, kg, nCO2 is the amount of CO2 desorbed during the regeneration process, mol.
[0034] The latent heat energy consumption can be calculated according to the liquid collected in the conical flask 9 by weighing with the electronic balance 10, and according to the latent heat formula The latent heat energy consumption is thus obtained; wherein ∆Hwvap is the water vaporization latent heat, kJ / mol, nw is the molar amount of water in the regenerated gas, mol, nCO2 is the amount of CO2 desorbed during the regeneration process, mol;
[0035] The heating energy consumption E2 can be obtained by subtracting the energy consumed by the magnetic stirring rod from the energy input into the system obtained by the electric energy meter 8, i.e. E2=E0-E1; and the reaction energy consumption Q can also be obtained reac : Q reac =E 2 -Q sens -Q evap This method can be extended to the CO2 desorption energy consumption under different kinds and different working conditions;
[0036] The CO2 analyzer 11 is used to measure the desorption rate, and the CO2 analyzer 11 measures and records the data every 20 seconds, records the concentration of CO2, and obtains the CO2 loading, so as to calculate the desorption rate, for example, the desorption rate of the absorbent to CO2 at time t is: ; wherein: r des (t) is the desorption rate of the absorbent to CO2 at time t, mol / L, Qdes is the flow of N2 in the desorption experiment, L / min, Vm is the molar volume of gas, 22.4 L / mol, and φ(t) is the volume concentration of CO2 in the mixed gas at the outlet end at time t.
