Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon capture technology, specifically a carbon capture and recycling treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon dioxide emissions significantly impact climate change, with over 40% of CO2 emissions coming from fossil fuel power plants. Therefore, making it economically viable to capture CO2 from power plant exhaust gases (flue gas) is one of the major challenges of our time.
[0003] A search revealed that patent CN220071226U discloses a carbon capture and recycling processor, which can conveniently cool high-temperature flue gas through a heat recovery structure, allowing for the recovery and utilization of waste heat from the high-temperature flue gas, resulting in good performance. This application has a purification structure, which can conveniently absorb and treat carbon dioxide in the flue gas, and the treatment is relatively thorough, resulting in good performance and making it suitable for widespread application.
[0004] While the above-mentioned scheme can recover the waste heat of flue gas in actual use, it does not mention how to reuse it. Storing the recovered heat would result in significant losses. Secondly, liquid amine diluted with water is commonly used as a carbon dioxide capture agent. However, the temperature of the liquid amine enriched with carbon dioxide is low, and it needs to be reheated to above 110°C in the regeneration tower to release the captured CO2 for storage and utilization. The regenerated amine is sent back to the absorption tower for repeated carbon dioxide capture. The regeneration tower requires a lot of energy to heat and regenerate the low-temperature liquid amine. Therefore, we propose a carbon capture and recycling treatment device that can utilize the waste heat of flue gas to preheat the liquid amine enriched with carbon dioxide. Utility Model Content

[0023] By adopting the above-mentioned scheme, in use, high-temperature flue gas enters the flue gas cooler 2 through the flue gas conveying pipe 1.

[0025] After the coolant enters the water-cooled chamber 5 through the first water inlet 7, it will come into contact with each heat exchange straight tube 6 to exchange heat with the flue gas passing through the heat exchange straight tube 6, thereby realizing the recovery of waste heat from the flue gas.
