However, the MDEA solution corrodes the tower equipment during use, producing Fe. + Furthermore, process gases can introduce impurities, causing the solution to foam, and severe foaming can easily lead to flooding.

The absorption solution pipeline of the CO2 removal system is connected to the inlet of the mechanical filter 16 through a solution filter total valve 12, the outlet of the mechanical filter 16 is connected to the inlet of the activated carbon filter 17, the outlet of the activated carbon filter 17 is connected to the inlet of the carbon trap 18, and the outlet of the carbon trap 18 is connected to the absorption tower 3.

[0020] Figure 2 As shown, the filter system for the absorption solution of the CO2 removal system of the gas-based shaft furnace, the outlet of the mechanical filter 16 is also connected to the inlet of the centrifugal filter, and the centrifugal filter is provided with two centrifugal filters in parallel, i.e. a first centrifugal filter 19 and a second centrifugal filter 21, one of which is used and the other is standby.

The desalted water system 27 is connected to the inlet of the first centrifugal filter 19 through a pipeline and a first water supplementing adjusting valve 25, and is connected to the inlet of the second centrifugal filter 21 through a pipeline and a second water supplementing adjusting valve 26.

[0023] After the above structure, the carbon dioxide removal process of the carbon-based shaft furnace CO2 removal system is: the prepared absorption solution is delivered to the stripping tower 9 through the solution preparation system 11; the absorption solution is circulated by the circulating pump 15; the stripping tower 9 controls the high-temperature and low-pressure environment, which is beneficial to the release of the dissolved carbon dioxide in the absorption solution. The absorption solution discharged from the stripping tower 9 is filtered through the absorption solution filter 10 first, and then is preliminarily cooled through the heat exchanger 8, and then is further cooled in the absorption solution cooler 4. The cooled absorption solution enters the absorption tower 3 to absorb the carbon dioxide in the process gas. After absorbing the carbon dioxide in the absorption tower 3, the temperature of the absorption solution is low, and after passing through the filter 7, the absorption solution enters the heat exchanger 8 to cool the absorption solution discharged from the stripping tower 9. The cooling water is provided by the absorption solution cooling water system 6, and before cooling, the cooling water is filtered through the cooling water filter 5 to prevent the absorption solution cooler 4 from being blocked. The absorption system will be polluted due to the corrosion of the system tower and the impurities brought in by the process gas in the shaft furnace production process. When the absorption solution is seriously polluted, the absorption solution is easy to produce foam, which causes the liquid overflow accident of the absorption tower 3 and the stripping tower 9. In order to prevent this accident from happening and not to affect the production operation, therefore, in the production process, according to the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 and the stripping tower 9, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is controlled to control the total amount of the absorption solution in the system, and part of the absorption solution is sent to the filtering system 1 for filtering. When the pressure difference of the absorption tower is high or the pressure difference of the stripping tower is high, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is increased. The amount of the absorption solution for absorbing carbon dioxide in the system is reduced, the opening degree of the absorption liquid flow control valve 14 is controlled to control the flow rate of the absorption solution to increase, so as to achieve the effect of stabilizing the carbon dioxide absorption efficiency. The opening degree of the absorption liquid temperature control valve 13 is controlled to control part of the low-temperature absorption solution to enter the stripping tower 9, so as to realize the temperature control of the stripping tower 9.

[0024] After the above structure, the filtering process of the absorption solution filtering system of the carbon-based shaft furnace CO2 removal system is: 1) according to the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 and the stripping tower 9, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is controlled. When the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 or the stripping tower 9 is 0-2Kpa, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is controlled to be 10-15%. When the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 or the stripping tower 9 is 2-4Kpa, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is controlled to be 15-30%. When the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 or the stripping tower 9 is greater than 4Kpa, the opening degree of the solution filtering total valve 12 is kept at 30% for 0.5h, and if the pressure difference does not decrease, the defoaming agent is added to the absorption tower 3.

[0025] 2) The absorption solution that needs to be filtered enters the filtering system through the solution filtering total valve 12.

[0026] 3) First through the mechanical filter 16, the filter core of the mechanical filter 16 uses a filter core of 20μm, and filters out impurities in the solution. The working condition of the mechanical filter is monitored by the mechanical filter pressure difference table 29. When the pressure difference of the mechanical filter pressure difference table 29 is greater than 50Kpa, the mechanical filter core is replaced.

[0027] 4) After passing through the mechanical filter 16, the solution enters the activated carbon filter 17. The activated carbon filter 17 is filled with activated carbon inside, which can effectively adsorb Fe + and other metal ions in the solution. The activated carbon filter pressure difference table 30 is used to check the use of activated carbon. When the activated carbon filter pressure difference table is greater than 70Kpa, the activated carbon is replaced.

[0028] 5) After passing through the activated carbon filter 17, the solution passes through the carbon trap 18, which uses a filter core of 50μm inside, and collects the activated carbon carried out by the solution. When the pressure difference of the carbon trap pressure difference table 31 is greater than 30Kpa, the filter core is taken out and the activated carbon is recovered.

[0029] 6) The solution filtered by the mechanical filter 16 and the activated carbon filter 17 returns to the absorption tower 3.

[0030] 7) When the pressure difference of the absorption tower 3 or the stripping tower 9 is greater than 4Kpa, and the pressure difference is still rising, the 1# centrifugal filter 19 or the 2# centrifugal filter 21 is started. The centrifugal filter works in a one-use-one-backup mode.

[0031] 8) Before using the 1# centrifugal filter 19 or the 2# centrifugal filter 21, the centrifugal filter system is purged by the nitrogen system 28. To prevent oxygen from oxidizing the solution in the system, causing the absorption efficiency of the solution to decrease.

[0032] 9) After the purge is qualified, start the 1# centrifugal filter 19 or the 2# centrifugal filter 21. When the centrifugal filter is started, open the 1# water supply regulating valve 25 or the 2# water supply regulating valve 26. The desalted water system 27 provides desalted water for the centrifugal filter system.

[0033] 10) After the centrifugal filter 19 or 21 is started, when the speed reaches 2000r / min, open the 1# cut-off valve 23 or the 2# cut-off valve 24, and inject the absorption liquid into the 1# centrifugal filter 19 or the 2# centrifugal filter 21. The filtered solution returns to the absorption tower 3.

[0034] 11) The impurities filtered out by the centrifugal filter 19 or 21 are collected and treated by the 1# impurity collector 20 or the 2# impurity collector 22.
