DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] It should be noted that, where not inconsistent, the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other.

[0028] As explained in the Background Art, in order to improve the yield of liquid carbon dioxide in conventional carbon dioxide capture and utilization processes, the ratio of liquid carbon dioxide in the anode gas in the carbon dioxide separation process is usually increased as much as possible, but this results in ineffective utilization of the large amount of carbon dioxide contained in the crude oxygen obtained after separation, resulting in a low carbon dioxide capture and utilization rate and high energy consumption throughout the process. To solve the above problems, the present application provides a method for carbon dioxide capture and purification, which includes carbon dioxide capture, electrolysis, and carbon dioxide separation. The method for capturing and purifying carbon dioxide includes the steps of: performing a carbon dioxide capturing process on a target component using an alkaline solution to obtain a carbonate-containing aqueous solution; mixing at least a portion of the carbonate-containing aqueous solution with carbon dioxide-containing crude oxygen generated in the carbon dioxide separation process to obtain a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution and oxygen gas, wherein the volumetric carbon dioxide content in the carbon dioxide-containing crude oxygen is 9.7-35.9 vol%; electrolyzing the bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution to obtain anode gas, hydrogen gas and a regenerated alkaline solution; and performing a carbon dioxide separation process on the anode gas to obtain liquid carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide-containing crude oxygen, wherein the carbon dioxide content in the liquid carbon dioxide is 98.5-99.9999 vol% and the carbon dioxide content in the crude oxygen accounts for 5-40% of the carbon dioxide content in the anode gas.

[0029] The carbon dioxide in the target component is converted into a carbonate-containing aqueous solution through the carbon dioxide capture process. The carbonate-containing aqueous solution absorbs the carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen and converts it into bicarbonate ions, and then the electrolysis process is carried out. Compared with the process of electrolysis using carbonate as an electrolyte, the present application uses a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution as an electrolyte, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the electrolysis process.

[0030] In the carbon dioxide separation process, the proportion of the carbon dioxide content in the obtained crude oxygen product to the carbon dioxide content in the anode gas, and the contents of oxygen gas and carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen gas are limited to specific ranges. Furthermore, the carbonate-containing aqueous solution obtained in the carbon dioxide capture process is used to absorb the carbon dioxide in the obtained crude oxygen product to obtain a hydrogencarbonate-containing aqueous solution (CO 3 2- +CO 2 +H 2 O→HCO 3 - ), this process can obtain high-purity liquid carbon dioxide and maintain a high carbon dioxide recovery rate. It also reduces the process costs of the carbon dioxide capture and purification process, improving the overall economic efficiency.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the carbon dioxide separation process is carried out in a carbon dioxide separation apparatus, with an operating pressure of 10-60 bar, a molar reflux ratio of (1.4-4):1, and a ratio of the amount of substance between the overhead gas phase harvest and the raw material of (0.25-0.45):1. The operating pressure, molar reflux ratio, and the ratio of the amount of substance between the overhead gas phase harvest and the raw material include, but are not limited to, the above ranges. By limiting these to the above ranges, the separation efficiency of carbon dioxide and oxygen can be further improved, and the recovery rate of carbon dioxide in the entire process can be improved, thereby improving the economic effect.

[0032] In the electrolysis process, the anode reaction is when the carbonate ions in the bicarbonate solution are discharged to produce crude oxygen containing carbon dioxide, and the cathode reaction is when the water molecules gain electrons to produce hydrogen. The reaction formula is HCO 3 - →CO 2 ↑+O 2 ↑+H + (Anode), H 2 O→H 2 ↑+OH - The hydroxide ions generated at the cathode constitute the regenerated alkaline solution together with the metal cations in the system.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature during the electrolysis is 50 to 200° C., the electrolytic cell voltage is 1.1 to 4 V, and the current density is 500 to 8000 A / m 2 In the bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution, the ratio of the amount of substance of bicarbonate ions to the total amount of substance of carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions is (0.1-1):1. The temperature, electrolytic cell voltage, and current density in the electrolysis process include, but are not limited to, the above-mentioned ranges. Limiting these to within the above-mentioned ranges is advantageous for improving the electrochemical reaction rate and current efficiency, and is also advantageous for reducing the energy consumption of the electrolytic cell and reducing the process cost of the carbon dioxide capture and purification process.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the method for capturing and purifying carbon dioxide further includes sequentially subjecting the anode gas to cooling, gas-liquid separation, compression and drying / dehydration prior to the carbon dioxide separation process. The sequential application of the above treatment methods to the anode gas is advantageous in providing a good precondition for the subsequent carbon dioxide separation process, which is conducive to the performance of the carbon dioxide separation process and further improves the efficiency of carbon dioxide separation.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, after the cooling process, the temperature of the anode gas is reduced to 5-50°C. The temperature of the anode gas includes, but is not limited to, the above range.

Limiting the concentration of hydroxide ions in the alkaline solution to the above ranges is advantageous for improving the efficiency of carbon dioxide gas collection by the alkaline solution, as compared with other ranges. Furthermore, limiting the concentrations of carbonate ions and hydroxide ions and the pH in the carbonate-containing aqueous solution to the above ranges is advantageous for improving the content of hydrogen carbonate ions in the hydrogen carbonate-containing solution obtained in the purification process, as compared with other ranges, which is advantageous for providing a more sufficient electrolyte supply source for the electrolysis process and is also advantageous for reducing energy consumption.

Limiting the hydroxide ion concentration in the alkaline solution to the above range is advantageous for further improving the efficiency of carbon dioxide gas capture by the alkaline solution compared to other ranges. Also, limiting the concentrations of carbonate ions and hydroxide ions in the carbonate-containing aqueous solution, the ratio of the substance amount of bicarbonate ions to the total substance amount of carbonate ions and bicarbonate ions, and the pH to the above ranges is advantageous for further improving the carbon dioxide capture rate by the alkaline solution, and is also advantageous for further improving the content of bicarbonate ions in the bicarbonate-containing solution obtained in the purification process, which is advantageous for providing a more sufficient supply source of electrolyte for the electrolysis process and is advantageous for further reducing energy consumption.

The above-mentioned reuse method is advantageous for improving the capture rate of the target component in the carbon dioxide capture process, and is also advantageous for improving the production rate of the carbonate-containing aqueous solution obtained after capture, as well as for further reducing process costs.

The electrolysis unit 300 is provided with a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution inlet 301, an anode gas outlet 302, a hydrogen gas outlet 303 and a regenerated alkaline solution outlet 304, and the bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution inlet 301 and the bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution outlet 203 are connected by a bicarbonate aqueous solution transport pipeline. The carbon dioxide separation device 400 is provided with an anode gas inlet 401, a liquid carbon dioxide outlet 402 and a crude oxygen outlet 403, and the anode gas inlet 401 and the anode gas outlet 302 are connected by an anode gas transport pipeline, and the crude oxygen outlet 403 and the crude oxygen inlet 201 are connected by a crude oxygen transport pipeline.

The valve 600 is installed in the crude oxygen transport pipeline and is located downstream of the carbon dioxide detection device 500, and the valve 600 is installed in conjunction with the carbon dioxide detection device 500, and when the carbon dioxide content reaches a predetermined value, the valve 600 is opened.

[0042] The alkaline solution can capture carbon dioxide in the target component to obtain a carbonate-containing aqueous solution, and the generated carbonate-containing aqueous solution is discharged from a carbonate-containing aqueous solution outlet 103. A crude oxygen inlet 201 is provided in the oxygen purification device 200, and the carbon dioxide-containing crude oxygen enters the oxygen gas purification device 200 from the crude oxygen inlet 201 to obtain oxygen gas, and the obtained oxygen gas is discharged from an oxygen gas outlet 204. In addition, the carbon dioxide-containing crude oxygen reacts with a part of the carbonate-containing aqueous solution to generate a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution, and the bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution is discharged from a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution outlet 203. The discharged bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution is fed to the electrolysis unit 300 through the aqueous bicarbonate solution transport pipeline and participates in the electrolysis process as an electrolyte; the anode gas obtained by electrolysis is discharged from the anode gas outlet 302 and fed to the anode gas inlet 401 through the anode gas transport pipeline; the hydrogen gas obtained by electrolysis is discharged through the hydrogen gas outlet 303; and the regenerated alkaline solution obtained by electrolysis is discharged through the regenerated alkaline solution outlet 304. A carbon dioxide detection device 500 is further installed in the system to detect the carbon dioxide content in the crude oxygen product. By installing the valve 600 at the specific position, it is possible to control that when the carbon dioxide content reaches a predetermined value, the valve 600 opens and the crude oxygen enters the oxygen purification device 200 where the crude oxygen inlet 403 is installed.

[0043] The carbon dioxide capture device 100 can convert the carbon dioxide in the target component into a carbonate-containing aqueous solution. The oxygen purification device 200 is used to absorb the carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen into a carbonate-containing aqueous solution to convert it into bicarbonate ions, and then the electrolysis process is performed using the electrolysis unit 300. Compared to performing the electrolysis process using carbonate as an electrolyte, the electrolysis unit 300 of the present application performs the electrolysis process using an aqueous solution containing bicarbonate as an electrolyte, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption in the electrolysis process.

[0044] By installing the carbon dioxide detector 500 and the valve 600, the carbon dioxide content in the obtained crude oxygen product is limited to a predetermined value, and the carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen product is absorbed by the carbonate-containing aqueous solution obtained in the carbon dioxide capture process to produce a hydrogen carbonate-containing aqueous solution (CO 3 2- +CO 2 +H 2 O→HCO 3 - As a result, this process can obtain high-purity liquid carbon dioxide while maintaining a high carbon dioxide recovery rate, and can also reduce the cost of the carbon dioxide capture and purification system, improving its overall economic effectiveness.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the carbon dioxide capture device 100 is further provided with a reflux port 104, which is provided in communication with the regenerated alkaline liquid outlet 304 and the carbonate-containing aqueous solution outlet 100. The use of the reflux port 104 is advantageous for improving the absorption rate of the target component in the carbon dioxide capture process, and is also advantageous for improving the production rate of the carbonate-containing aqueous solution obtained after capture, and is also advantageous for further reducing process costs.

The installation of the buffer tank 310 and the first cooling device 320 is advantageous for controlling the pH change and temperature change of the alkaline solution to be maintained within a small fluctuation range, and for preventing the physicochemical properties of the alkaline solution from fluctuating too much due to the reflux of the regenerated alkaline solution, which is advantageous for improving the absorption rate of the alkaline solution for carbon dioxide gas in the air, and for improving the production rate of carbonate in the carbonate-containing aqueous solution.

[0047] In order to further prevent the physicochemical properties of the alkaline solution from fluctuating too much due to the reflux of the regenerated alkaline solution, and to further improve the absorption rate of the alkaline solution for carbon dioxide gas in the air, in a preferred embodiment, the buffer tank 310 is provided with an external water supply inlet 311 for adjusting the concentration of the regenerated alkaline solution in the buffer tank.

Exchanging heat between the anode gas and the crude oxygen through the heat exchanger is advantageous for lowering the anode gas temperature, and can also heat the crude oxygen gas to improve the absorption rate of carbon dioxide in the purification process.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the carbon dioxide capture and purification system further includes a bottoms flow rate regulator 210, which is installed in the aqueous bicarbonate solution transport pipeline. The installation of the bottoms flow rate regulator 210 is advantageous for regulating and controlling the flow rate of the aqueous bicarbonate solution within an appropriate range, and therefore makes it easy to control the progress of the electrolysis process in the electrolysis unit 300.

[0051] The multi-stage compressor can increase the pressure of the anode gas in stages, and compared with a single-stage compressor, the multi-stage compressor generates higher air power and has higher compression efficiency, making it suitable for larger-scale operation and continuous application. In a preferred embodiment, the compressor 350 is a 2-8 stage compressor, and a third cooling device and a liquid separator are installed between each stage of the compressor. The number of stages of the compressor 350 includes, but is not limited to, the above range. Limiting the number of stages within the above range is advantageous for increasing the anode gas pressure while reducing energy consumption. In addition, installing a third cooling device between each stage of the compressor is advantageous for liquefying the compressed anode gas to generate more liquid carbon dioxide, and using a liquid separator is advantageous for separating more of the liquefied liquid carbon dioxide.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, a condenser and a reboiler are further installed inside the carbon dioxide separation device 400 to adjust the carbon dioxide content in the crude oxygen transport line.

[0084] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-described embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects.

[0085] Comparing Examples 1 to 3, in the carbon dioxide separation process, the operating pressure, molar reflux ratio, and ratio of the overhead gas phase extract to the amount of raw material substance include, but are not limited to, the preferred ranges of the present application. By limiting these to the preferred ranges of the present invention, the separation efficiency of carbon dioxide and oxygen gas can be further improved and the purity of liquid carbon dioxide can be improved. In addition, by installing an oxygen gas purification device, the carbon dioxide recovery rate in the entire process can be maintained at a high level, and economic benefits can be improved.

[0086] Comparing Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the carbon dioxide in the air is converted into a carbonate-containing aqueous solution by the carbon dioxide capture process. The carbonate-containing aqueous solution is used to absorb the carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen and convert it into bicarbonate ions, and then the electrolysis process is performed. Compared with the process of electrolysis using carbonate as an electrolyte, the present application can effectively reduce the energy consumption in the electrolysis process by using a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution as the electrolyte. In the carbon dioxide separation process, the ratio of the carbon dioxide content in the obtained crude oxygen product to the carbon dioxide content in the anode gas, and the dry basis contents of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the crude oxygen gas are limited within a specific range, and the carbon dioxide therein is absorbed by the carbonate-containing aqueous solution obtained in the carbon dioxide capture process to obtain a bicarbonate-containing aqueous solution. This process can obtain high-purity liquid carbon dioxide and maintain a high carbon dioxide recovery rate, and can also reduce the process cost of the carbon dioxide capture and purification process, and further improve the overall economic effect.

[0087] Comparing Examples 1 and 4 to 7, the temperature, electrolytic cell voltage and current density during the electrolysis process include, but are not limited to, the preferred ranges of the present invention. However, limiting them to the preferred ranges of the present application is advantageous for improving the electrochemical reaction rate and current efficiency, and is also advantageous for reducing the energy consumption of the electrolytic cell and thereby reducing the process cost of the carbon dioxide capture and purification process.

[0088] Comparing Examples 1, 8, 9 and 12, it is found that limiting the hydroxide ion concentration in the alkaline solution to the preferred range of the present application is more advantageous in improving the collection efficiency of the alkaline solution for carbon dioxide gas in the air than other ranges. Also, limiting the carbonate ion and hydroxide ion concentrations and pH in the carbonate-containing aqueous solution to the preferred range of the present application is more advantageous in improving the bicarbonate ion content in the bicarbonate-containing solution obtained in the purification process than other ranges, which is advantageous in providing a more sufficient electrolyte supply source for the electrolysis process and is also advantageous in reducing energy consumption.

[0089] Comparing Examples 1, 10 and 11, it is found that limiting the hydroxide ion concentration in the alkaline solution to the more preferred range of the present application is more advantageous in improving the collection efficiency of the alkaline solution for carbon dioxide gas than other ranges. Also, limiting the carbonate ion, hydroxide ion concentrations, the ratio of the substance amount of bicarbonate ion to the total substance amount of carbonate ion and bicarbonate ion, and pH in the carbonate-containing aqueous solution to the more preferred ranges of the present application is more advantageous in improving the collection efficiency of the alkaline solution for carbon dioxide gas than other ranges, while it is more advantageous in improving the content of bicarbonate ion in the bicarbonate-containing solution obtained in the purification process, which is more advantageous in providing a more sufficient electrolyte supply source for the electrolysis process and more advantageous in reducing energy consumption.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be modified and changed in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
