Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue gas treatment technology, specifically to a CO2 capture device for flue gas from coal-fired power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases. Its accumulation in the atmosphere leads to global warming, triggering a series of environmental problems such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and ecosystem destruction. Coal-fired power plants are one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions. By capturing carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced, mitigating the impacts of climate change. In addition, it can also protect the environment and ecology, reduce acid rain and air pollution, mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems, and protect biodiversity.

[0003] Chemical absorption is currently the most widely used method. It involves a chemical reaction between a chemical absorbent (such as an alkanolamine solvent) and carbon dioxide in the flue gas, thereby capturing the carbon dioxide. Before chemical absorption, the flue gas needs to be pretreated to remove residual pollutants (sulfides, particulate matter, etc.). In existing technologies, the flue gas is at a high temperature when it is discharged. When it enters a water washing device for particulate matter removal, the heat from the flue gas is directly lost, resulting in inefficient energy utilization and waste. Therefore, there is room for technological improvement. Utility Model Content
